Example Mod - "Signpost"

All entities in the game are shipped in compiled format and difficult to change. This mod replaces the "Signpost" entity with an almost identical copy with human-readable, uncompiled lua code.
(You've probably seen Signposts in code rooms - you view them before you dive into a method's code!)

- Signposts are now hackable with the USB sword / boomerang!
- Signposts have two hackable fields: "LABEL" and "FREEDOM" (aka name and protected)

This is intended as a learning aid rather than a 'fun' mod. It's intended to:
- Demonstrate how an entity class is defined and initialised
- Demonstrate how to define 'hackable' fields for an entity (like 'isClosed' or 'onFire')
- Show that the code you see in-game is easily translatable to fully human-readable source code

A couple of things to note:
- Doesn't show how Signposts know which method to jump into (I haven't looked into this either; clues likely lie in one of the CodeRoom files)
- I am not associated with Double Fine, I don't know how to hack the planet.
- *** This is not additive coding, and hence could cause compatibility issues with other mods. If you know of a way to modify a class additively, please let me know. *

Happy Modding!
