Drawing Strokes and Undo/Redo Functionality * Add new pkg/drawtool with utilities to abstract away drawing actions into Strokes and track undo/redo History for them. * The freehand Pencil tool in EditorMode has been refactored to create a Stroke of Shape=Freehand and queue up its world pixels there instead of directly modifying the level chunker in real time. When the mouse button is released, the freehand Stroke is committed to the level chunker and added to the UndoHistory. * UndoHistory is (temporarily) stored with the level.Level so it can survive trips to PlayScene and back, but is not stored as JSON on disk. * Ctrl-Z and Ctrl-Y in EditorMode for undo and redo, respectively.

# TODO
## Alpha Launch Minimum Checklist
- [ ] Open Source Licenses
Centralized Tick Counter, Fix Actor Dragging Bug * The game's tick counter was moved from Doodle.ticks to shmem.Tick where it is more easily available from every corner of the code. * Fix a bug in the Level Editor where dragging an already-existing actor from one part of your map to another, would cause it to lose all its data (especially its UUID), breaking links to other doodads. Now the existing Actor catches a ride on the drag object to be reinserted later. * Animate the Link Line visualizers between actors. They now animate a blinking color between magenta and grey-ish.

**Blocker Bugs:**
- [ ] Sometimes the red Azulians don't interact with other doodads
properly, but sometimes they do. (i.e. they phase thru doors, don't
interact with buttons or keys).
**UI Cleanup:**
- Doodads Palette:
Minor Build Script Updates, Mac OS Support * Update the Makefile to choose MacOS friendly `date` formats. * Build the Windows doodle.exe binary as a GUI application to skip the console window. * Added Mac OS build instructions.

**Shareware Version:**
- [x] Can't draw or edit doodads.
- [ ] Can only create Bounded maps, not infinite ones.
- [ ] Can play custom maps but only ones using built-in doodads.
- [ ] Can not place custom doodads in maps.
**Built-in Doodads:**
- [x] Buttons
- [x] Press Button
- [x] Sticky Button
Add Switches, Fire/Water Collision and Play Menu * New doodads: Switches. * They come in four varieties: wall switch (background element, with "ON/OFF" text) and three side-profile switches for the floor, left or right walls. * On collision with the player, they flip their state from "OFF" to "ON" or vice versa. If the player walks away and then collides again, the switch flips again. * Can be used to open/close Electric Doors when turned on/off. Their default state is "off" * If a switch receives a power signal from another linked switch, it sets its own state to match. So, two "on/off" switches that are connected to a door AND to each other will both flip on/off when one of them flips. * Update the Level Collision logic to support Decoration, Fire and Water pixel collisions. * Previously, ALL pixels in the level were acting as though solid. * Non-solid pixels don't count for collision detection, but their attributes (fire and water) are collected and returned. * Updated the MenuScene to support loading a map file in Play Mode instead of Edit Mode. Updated the title screen menu to add a button for playing levels instead of editing them. * Wrote some documentation.

## Doodad Ideas
In addition to those listed above:
- [ ] Crumbly floor: Tomb Raider inspired cracked stone floor that
crumbles under the player a moment after being touched.
- [ ] Firepit: decorative, painful
- [ ] Gravity Boots: flip player's gravity upside down.
- [ ] Warp Doors that lead to other linked maps.
- For campaign levels only. If used in a normal player level, acts
as a level goal and ends the level.
- Doodads "Warp Door A" through "Warp Door D"
- The campaign.json would link levels together.

## New Ideas
- [ ] New Doodad struct fields:
- [ ] `Hidden bool`: skip showing this doodad in the palette UI.
- [ ] `HasInventory bool`: for player characters and maybe thieves. This way
keys only get picked up by player characters and not "any doodad that
touches them"

## Path to Multiplayer
* Add a Player abstraction between events and player characters.
* Keyboard keys would update PlayerOne's state with actions (move left, right, jump, etc)
* Possible to have multiple local players (i.e. bound to different keyboard keys, bound to joypads, etc.)
* A NetworkPlayer provides a Player's inputs from over a network.
* Client/server negotiation, protocol
* Client can request chunks from server for local rendering.
* Players send inputs over network sockets.

## Far Off Ideas
### Level Styles (Top-down vs Side Scrolling)
It might be cool to support multiple "styles" of level, apart from the current
2D platforming-with-gravity style.
For example a top-down perspective level would let the player freely walk in
both axes and would probably have a full set of unique Doodads drawn in that
perspective.
Migration path: a GameStyle enum would be added to Levels and Doodads as an
integer type, default 0 is the current 2D platformer style, 1 for top-down,
etc. -- so existing levels and doodads would default to 0 on upgrade and new
levels/doodads would use the new value.
