* pkg/plus/dpp is the main plugin bridge, and defines nothing but an interface
that defines the Doodle++ surface area (referring to internal game types such
as doodad.Doodad or level.Level), but not their implementations.
* dpp.Driver (an interface) is the main API that other parts of the game will
call, for example "dpp.Driver.IsLevelSigned()"
* plus_dpp.go and plus_foss.go provide the dpp.Driver implementation for their
build; with plus_dpp.go generally forwarding function calls directly to the
proprietary dpp package and plus_foss.go generally returning false/errors.
* The bootstrap package simply assigns the above stub function to dpp.Driver
* pkg/plus/bootstrap is a package directly imported by main (in the doodle and
doodad programs) and it works around circular dependency issues: this package
simply assigns dpp.Driver to the DPP or FOSS version.
Miscellaneous fixes:
* File->Open in the editor and PlayScene will use the new Open Level window
instead of loading the legacy GotoLoadMenu scene.
* Deprecated legacy scenes: d.GotoLoadMenu() and d.GotoPlayMenu().
* The doodle-admin program depends on the private dpp package, so can not be
compiled in FOSS mode.
Updates the savegame.json file format:
* Levels now have a UUID value assigned at first save.
* The savegame.json will now track level completion/score based on UUID,
making it robust to filename changes in either levels or levelpacks.
* The savegame file is auto-migrated on startup - for any levels not
found or have no UUID, no change is made, it's backwards compatible.
* Level Properties window adds an "Advanced" tab to show/re-roll UUID.
New JavaScript API for doodad scripts:
* `Actors.CameraFollowPlayer()` tells the camera to return focus to the
player character. Useful for "cutscene" doodads that freeze the player,
call `Self.CameraFollowMe()` and do a thing before unfreezing and sending the
camera back to the player. (Or it will follow them at their next directional
input control).
* `Self.MoveBy(Point(x, y int))` to move the current actor a bit.
New option for the `doodad` command-line tool:
* `doodad resave <.level or .doodad>` will load and re-save a drawing, to
migrate it to the newest file format versions.
Small tweaks:
* On bounded levels, allow the camera to still follow the player if the player
finds themselves WELL far out of bounds (40 pixels margin). So on bounded
levels you can create "interior rooms" out-of-bounds to Warp Door into.
* New wallpaper: "Atmosphere" has a black starscape pattern that fades into a
solid blue atmosphere.
* Camera strictly follows the player the first 20 ticks, not 60 of level start
* If player is frozen, directional inputs do not take the camera focus back.
Adds `doodad levelpack create` and `doodad levelpack show` commands to
the CLI tool to create levelpacks.
A levelpack is a ZIP file containing a descriptive index.json and
directories for levels and doodads.
* Added a Settings window for game options, such as enabling the
horizontal toolbars in Edit Mode. The Settings window also has a
Controls tab showing the gameplay buttons and keyboard shortcuts.
* The Settings window is available as a button on the home screen OR
from the Edit->Settings menu in the EditScene.
* Bugfix: using WASD to move the player character now works better and
is considered by the game to be identical to the arrow key inputs. Boy
now updates his animation based on these keys, and they register as
boolean on/off keys instead of affected by key-repeat.
* Refactor the boolProps: they are all part of usercfg now, and if you
run e.g. "boolProp show-all-doodads true" and then cause the user
settings to save to disk, that boolProp will be permanently enabled
until turned off again.
* New command-line tool: doodle-admin for signing license keys for
users. Includes functions to initialize a keypair, sign license keys
and validate existing keys.
* The Main Menu screen shows a blue "Register Game" button in the bottom
right corner of the screen, for unregistered users only.
* In Edit Mode, there is a "Help -> Register" menu item that opens the
License Window.
* The License UI Window lets the user select the license.key file to
register the game with. If registered, a copy of the key is placed in
Doodle's profile directory and the licensee name/email is shown in the
License UI window.
* Unregistered games will show the word "(shareware)" next to the title
screen version number and Edit Mode status bar.
* No restrictions are yet placed on free versions of the game.
* The `doodad` CLI tool got a lot of new commands:
* `doodad show` to verbosely print details about Levels and Doodads.
* `edit-level` and `edit-doodad` to update details about Levels and
Doodads, such as their Title, Author, page type and size, etc.
* Doodads gain a `Hidden bool` that hides them from the palette in
Editor Mode. The player character (Blue Azulian) is Hidden.
* Add some boolProps to the balance/ package and made a dynamic system
to easily configure these with the in-game dev console.
* Command: `boolProp list` returns available balance.boolProps
* `boolProp <name>` returns the current value.
* `boolProp <name> <true or false>` sets the value.
* The new boolProps are:
* showAllDoodads: enable Hidden doodads on the palette UI (NOTE:
reload the editor to take effect)
* writeLockOverride: edit files that are write locked anyway
* prettyJSON: pretty-format the JSON files saved by the game.
* Build the app with -tags="shareware" to compile the free/shareware
build of the game.
* `make build-free` compiles both binaries to the bin/ folder in
shareware mode.
* The constant balance.FreeVersion is true in the shareware build and
all functionality related to the Doodad Editor UI mode is disabled
in this build mode.
* Add the JavaScript system for Doodads to run their scripts in levels,
and wire initial OnCollide() handler support.
* CLI: Add a `doodad install-script` command to the doodad tool.
* Usage: `doodad install-script <index.js> <filename.doodad>`
* Add dev-assets folder for storing source files for the official
default doodads, sprites, levels, etc. and for now add a JavaScript
for the first test doodad.
Adds the `doodad` binary which will be a command line tool to work with
Doodads and Levels and assist with development.
The `doodad` binary has subcommands like git and the first command is
`convert` which converts between image files (PNG or BMP) and Doodle
drawing files (Level or Doodad). You can "screenshot" a level into a PNG
or you can initialize a new drawing from a PNG.
