Notable additions in ct.js v1.5

• ct.backgrounds and ct.tilemaps — two new built-in APIs appeared for your needs in procedural generation.
• ct.place got a bunch of tracing functions that you can use to test for collisions in an arbitrary area. See them in a new doc page at ct.js.
• ct.tween module got three new interpolation methods thanks to kkornushin: elastic, bouncing motion, and motion with backwards overshoot. See ct.tween's docs at your ct.js editor.
• You can now mark a room as a UI layer in room's properties instead of using isUi property!
• New methods: ct.types.isCopy, ct.u.hexToPixi, ct.u.pixiToHex.
