Demo updates! (Paint bucket tool, prettier fences, quality of life updates)

Dear Gourdlets fans,
I am excited to announce some new updates for my cozy city builder game that I hope will make the demo more fun :)
I have added *the most requested feature* - a paint bucket tool! Without it, building big islands took a LOT of clicking, hopefully this makes things a little easier. You can now quickly and easily fill in large areas with the click of a button.

In addition, I have made changes to the fences to make them more intuitive, making it easier to form corners and create enclosures. This is perfect for those who want to build their own little zoos! (Little animals for the zoos are forthcoming 👀)

I also heard your feedback regarding the monorail and have added a stoplight that can turn it on and off. Some players felt that the monorail was arriving too frequently before the island was ready for visitors, so I hope that this will help address that issue.

Finally, I have made some UI and quality of life updates, including a window explaining the controls and some handy shortcuts.
If you try out the updated demo, I’d love to hear your thoughts! Your feedback is incredibly valuable to me, so please don't forget to fill out the feedback form here: https://forms.gle/aRtnxERfZEQJrynM7
Or, if you want a more direct voice in development, come join the discord! http://discord.gg/xYgv78Azwe
Thank you for your continued support of Gourdlets, and I hope that you enjoy these updates!
