Added

• Siblings now viewable/clickable in family navigation panel
• If any resident of a city is being followed, that city’s name will appear green in the World tab.
• If any student in a school is being followed, that school’s name will appear green in the World tab.

Optimized

• Children are now a list of prefab buttons in the family navigation panel (they were individual objects, used or not)
• Sprinters are now a list of prefab TextMeshProUGUI container row objects in race participants & results dialogs

• components and am using them that way now, instead of every button having its own separate text object to manage.

Bug Fixes

• Names of followed characters were not consistently colored throughout the game.
• Clicking virtually any button during character creation would return the user to the character creation screen.  Now the user can navigate around during Character Creation, but still cannot advance the game until they have finalized the character.
• The participant list of races were not being sorted by skill level.  This was partially masked because participants were being added to heats in order of skill level to begin with, but the list of participants in the finals were clearly out of order.
