In many places strings were initialised with strcpy(string, "") right
before the string was overwritten by another function. In the few cases
where this really might have been useful, just use a static initialiser.
All functions and variables are now defined in graphics.cpp.
Before, the functions would be compiled again and again for every source
file, now it is compiled only once, halving the size of the stripped
starfighter binary.
The state of these options was not only stored in the global config
file, but also in each saved game. When loading a game or clicking on
"continue game" from the title screen, the state of these options would
also be loaded from the save game file. If this changed the state of
sound and music, this would only take effect when starting a mission or
going back to the title screen. If it changed the state of the
fullscreen option, it would never toggle the state, but would
desynchronise the actual state of the window and the fullscreen option.
This is now fixed by moving these options from the currentGame variable
to the engine variable, where they are not in danger of being
overwritten.
Most .h files were not used to declare the externally visible variables
and functions of the .cpp files, but only to #include things and declare
things that were needed by that .cpp file itself. This resulted in a lot
of duplication.
Now the .h files only declare what is externally visible from the
corresponding .cpp files. Starfighter.h includes all the other .h files,
and all .cpp files only #include "Starfighter.h". Functions and
variables that were not used outside the .cpp file that contained them
were marked static. Variables defined in .h files were moved to the
appropriate .cpp files.
