* Remove several unused functions in doodad.Drawing (velocity, acceleration,
grounded, etc.) - uix.Actor is where these are actually managed.
* In the JavaScript API, setTimeout() and setInterval() will translate the
milliseconds from wallclock time into a fixed number of game ticks to match
the target frame rate for better deterministic timing.
* Rework the Story Mode UI to display level thumbnails.
* Responsive UI: defaults to wide screen mode and shows 3 levels horizontally
but on narrow/mobile display, shows 2 levels per page in portrait.
* Add "Tiny" screenshot size (224x126) to fit the Story Mode UI.
* Make the pager buttons bigger and more touchable.
* Maximize the game window on startup unless the -w option with a specific
window resolution is provided.
Adds some support for "less giant" level screenshots.
* In the Editor, the Level->Take Screenshot menu will render a cropped screen
shot of just the level viewport on screen. Note: it is not an SDL2 screen
copy but generated from scratch from the level data.
* In levels themselves, screenshots can be stored inside the level data in
three different sizes: large (1280x720), medium and small (each a halved
size of the previous).
* The first screenshot is created when the level is saved, starting from
wherever the scroll position in the editor is at, and recording the 720p
view of the level from there.
* The level screenshot can be previewed and updated in the Level Properties
window of the editor: so you can scroll the editor to just the right position
and take a good screenshot to represent your level.
* In the future: these embedded level screenshots will be displayed on the
Story Mode and other screens to see a preview of each level.
Other tweaks:
* When taking a Giant Screenshot: a confirm modal will warn the player that
it may take a while. And during the screenshot, show the new Wait Modal to
block player interaction until the screenshot has finished.
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.
Convert the Chunker size to a uint8 so chunk sizes are limited to 255px. This
means that inside of a chunk, uint8's can track the relative pixel coordinates
and result in a great memory savings since all of these uint8's are currently
64-bits wide apiece.
WIP on rectangular shaped doodads:
* You can create such a doodad in the editor and draw it normally.
* It doesn't draw the right size when dragged into your level however:
- In uix.Actor.Size() it gets a rect of the doodad's square Chunker size,
instead of getting the proper doodad.Size rect.
- If you give it the doodad.Size rect, it draws the Canvas size correctly
instead of a square - the full drawing appears and in gameplay its hitbox
(assuming the same large rectangle size) works correctly in-game.
- But, the doodad has scrolling issues when it gets to the top or left edge
of the screen! This old gnarly bug has come back. For some reason square
canvas doodads draw correctly but rectangular ones have the drawing scroll
just a bit - how far it scrolls is proportional to how big the doodad is,
with the Start Flag only scrolling a few pixels before it stops.
* Added a Cheats Menu UI accessible from the Settings window's "Experimental"
tab and from there you can enable the Cheats Menu from the "Help" screen of
the gameplay mode.
* Commonly used cheats all have corresponding buttons to click on, especially
helpful for touchscreen devices like the Pinephone where keyboard input
doesn't always work reliably.
* The buttons in the Cheats Menu just automate entry of the cheat commands.
* `boolProp` command has a new `flip` option to toggle their value (e.g.
`boolProp show-hidden-doodads flip`)
* Add new pixel attributes: SemiSolid and Slippery (the latter is WIP)
* SemiSolid pixels are only solid below the player character. You can walk on
them and up and down SemiSolid slopes, but can freely pass through from the
sides or jump through from below.
* Update the Palette Editor UI to replace the Attributes buttons: instead of
text labels they now have smaller icons (w/ tooltips) for the Solid,
SemiSolid, Fire, Water and Slippery attributes.
* Bugfix in Palette Editor: use cropped (24x24) images for the Tex buttons so
that the large Bubbles texture stays within its designated space!
* uix.Actor.SetGrounded() to also set the Y velocity to zero when an actor
becomes grounded. This fixes a minor bug where the player's Y velocity (due
to gravity) was not updated while they were grounded, which may eventually
become useful to allow them to jump down thru a SemiSolid floor. Warp Doors
needed a fix to work around the bug, to set the player's Grounded(false) or
else they would hover a few pixels above the ground at their destination,
since Grounded status paused gravity calculations.
* Add "Options" support for Doodads: these allow for individual Actor instances
on your level to customize properties about the doodad. They're like "Tags"
except the player can customize them on a per-actor basis.
* Doodad Editor: you can specify the Options in the Doodad Properties window.
* Level Editor: when the Actor Tool is selected, on mouse-over of an actor,
clicking on the gear icon will open a new "Actor Properties" window which
shows metadata (title, author, ID, position) and an Options tab to configure
the actor's options.
Updates to the scripting API:
* Self.Options() returns a list of option names defined on the Doodad.
* Self.GetOption(name) returns the value for the named option, or nil if
neither the actor nor its doodad have the option defined. The return type
will be correctly a string, boolean or integer type.
Updates to the doodad command-line tool:
* `doodad show` will print the Options on a .doodad file and, when showing a
.level file with --actors, prints any customized Options with the actors.
* `doodad edit-doodad` adds a --option parameter to define options.
Options added to the game's built-in doodads:
* Warp Doors: "locked (exit only)" will make it so the door can not be opened
by the player, giving the "locked" message (as if it had no linked door),
but the player may still exit from the door if sent by another warp door.
* Electric Door & Electric Trapdoor: "opened" can make the door be opened by
default when the level begins instead of closed. A switch or a button that
removes power will close the door as normal.
* Colored Doors & Small Key Door: "unlocked" will make the door unlocked at
level start, not requiring a key to open it.
* Colored Keys & Small Key: "has gravity" will make the key subject to gravity
and set its Mobile flag so that if it falls onto a button, it will activate.
* Gemstones: they had gravity by default; you can now uncheck "has gravity" to
remove their Gravity and IsMobile status.
* Gemstone Totems: "has gemstone" will set the totem to its unlocked status by
default with the gemstone inserted. No power signal will be emitted; it is
cosmetic only.
* Fire Region: "name" can let you set a name for the fire region similarly to
names for fire pixels: "Watch out for ${name}!"
* Invisible Warp Door: "locked (exit only)" added as well.
* New script API method: Self.CameraFollowMe() to draw camera focus toward
your doodad (it sets the Canvas.FollowActor target.)
* The camera will go back to following the player on any action inputs
(arrow keys, jump, use, etc.); if the player is constantly on the move
the camera stays on him even if another actor is trying to take the focus.
* The first few ticks of Play Mode the player character is always followed,
to allow for Anvils to settle into place without taking the focus.
* Canvas FollowActor: if the actor is 4 times the max scroll speed away,
allow scrolling in greater leaps of 4 times the max scroll speed.
New and Changed Doodads
* Anvils will take the camera focus while they are falling.
* New doodad: "Look At Me" - a 'camera region' technical doodad. Link it to
any power source such as a Button - when this doodad receives power it will
take the camera focus for a few frames. Use it to highlight a door that
opened far off screen by linking the Button to both an Electric Door and
a "Look At Me" near the door.
* Add an exception catcher that pops open a UI window showing errors that
occur in doodad scripts during gameplay.
* Shows a preview of the header of the error (character wrapped) with a
Copy button to copy the full raw text to clipboard for inspection.
* Buttons to dismiss the modal once or stop any further errors from
opening during this gameplay session (until next restart).
* Add developer shell commands to test the exception catcher:
- 'throw <message>' to throw a custom message.
- 'throw2' to stress test a "long" message.
- 'throw3' to throw a realistic message copied from an actual error.
* Scripting engine: console.log() and friends will now insert the script
VM's name in front of its messages (the filename + actor ID).
* Add modal.Wait() that creates a global progress bar modal which is not
dismissable by the user; the caller must Dismiss() the modal
themselves when ready.
* It will be useful in the future in case e.g. saving a Level needs to
take a while to rebalance chunks and the modal prevents ALL
interaction with the game so the user can't further modify the level
while it's busy refactoring itself.
* Cheat code: "test wait screen" to show the Wait modal for 10 seconds.
Previously: the Chunker tracks with chunks were gotten during the
current game tick and the N-1 and N-2 ticks, and chunks not accessed in
two ticks were freed immediately.
Now: they go into a "garbage collection" pool with a minimum number of
game ticks to free. So if they're needed again, they're saved from the
gc pool. F3 overlay data shows the count of the gc pool.
Water pixels finally do something other than turn your character blue!
* When the player character is "wet" (touching water pixels, and so appearing in
a blue mask), water physics apply: gravity is slower, your jump height is
halved, but you get infinite jumps to swim higher in the water.
* Holding the jump key under water will incur a short delay between jumps, so
that you don't just fly straight up to the surface. Tap the jump button to
move up quicker, you can spam it all you want.
Azulians are also able to handle being under water:
* They'll sink to the bottom and keep walking back and forth normally.
* If you are above them and noticed, they'll jump (swim) up towards you,
aware of the water and it jumps like you do.
* The Blue Azulian has the poorest vertical aggro range so it isn't a
very good swimmer. The White Azulian is very good at navigating water
as it can pursue the player from the furthest distance of them all.
Changes to the editor:
* New brush pattern added: bubbles.png
* It's the default pattern now for the "water" color of all
of the built-in palettes instead of ink.png
* A repeating pattern of bubbles carved out showing the
level wallpaper.
* The old "Bubbles (circles.png)" is renamed "Circles"
* The last scroll position is saved with the Level file, so when you reload
the level later it's scrolled at where you left it.
The gamepad mouse cursor has become THE mouse cursor. It is always visible and your
real cursor is hidden, and this way the game can swap out other cursors for certain
scenarios:
* The Pencil Tool in the editor will use a pencil cursor over the level canvas.
* The Flood Tool has a custom Flood cursor so you don't forget it's selected!
Other improvements:
* The Palette buttons in the editor now render using their swatch's pattern
instead of only using its color.
* If you have an ultra HD monitor and open a Bounded level in the editor which
is too small to fill your screen, the editor canvas limits its size to fit
the level (preferable over showing parts of the level you can't actually play
as it's out of bounds).
* The "brush size" box is only drawn around the cursor when a relevant tool is
selected (Pencil, Line, Rect, Ellipse, Eraser)
* New built-in wallpaper: "Dotted paper (dark)" is a dark-themed wallpaper.
* New built-in palette: "Neon Bright" with bright colors for dark levels.
* New cheat: "warp whistle" to automatically win the level.
* In case the user has a VERY LARGE screen resolution bigger than the full
bounds of a Bounded level, the Play Scene will cap the size and center
the level canvas onto the window. This is preferable to being able to see
beyond the level's boundaries and hitting an invisible wall in-game.
* Make the titlescreen Lazy Scroll work on unbounded levels. It can't bounce
off scroll boundaries but it will reverse course if it reaches the level's
furthest limits.
* Bugfix: characters' white eyes were transparent in-game. Multiple culprits
from the `doodad convert` tool defaulting the chroma key to white, to the
SDL2 textures considering white to be transparent. For the latter, the game
offsets the color by -1 blue.
Adds several new doodads to the game and 5 new wallpapers (parchment
paper in blue, green, red, white and yellow).
New doodads:
* Crusher: A purple block-headed mob wearing an iron helmet. It tries
to crush the player when you get underneath. Its flat helmet can be
ridden on like an elevator back up.
* Snake: A green stationary mob that always faces toward the player.
If the player is nearby and jumps, the Snake will jump too and hope
to catch the player in mid-air.
* Gems and Totems: A new key & lock collectible. Gems have quantity so
you can collect multiple, and place them into matching Totems. A
Totem gives off a power signal when its gem is placed and all other
Totems it is linked to have also been activated. A single Totem may
link to an Electric Door and require only one gem to open it, or it
can link to other Totems and they all require gems before the power
signal is sent out.
* The blue bird follows the same base AI as the red bird (it has a
target altitude that it tries to maintain, and it will dive at the
player) but the blue bird flies in a sine wave pattern around its
target altitude. It also has a longer scan radius to search for the
player than the red bird.
* The sine wave pattern of the blue bird means you may fly under its
radar depending how high it is on average.
Cheat codes that replace the player character are refactored to make
it easier to extend, and new cheats have been added:
* super azulian: play as the Red Azulian.
* hyper azulian: play as the White Azulian.
* bluebird: play as the new Bird (blue).
Especially to further optimize memory for large levels, Levels and
Doodads can now read and write to a ZIP file format on disk with
chunks in external files within the zip.
Existing doodads and levels can still load as normal, and will be
converted into ZIP files on the next save:
* The Chunker.ChunkMap which used to hold ALL chunks in the main json/gz
file, now becomes the cache of "hot chunks" loaded from ZIP. If there is
a ZIP file, chunks not accessed recently are flushed from the ChunkMap
to save on memory.
* During save, the ChunkMap is flushed to ZIP along with any non-loaded
chunks from a previous zipfile. So legacy levels "just work" when
saving, and levels loaded FROM Zip will manage their ChunkMap hot
memory more carefully.
Memory savings observed on "Azulian Tag - Forest.level":
* Before: 1716 MB was loaded from the old level format into RAM along
with a slow load screen.
* After: only 243 MB memory was used by the game and it loaded with
a VERY FAST load screen.
Updates to the F3 Debug Overlay:
* "Chunks: 20 in 45 out 20 cached" shows the count of chunks inside the
viewport (having bitmaps and textures loaded) vs. chunks outside which
have their textures freed (but data kept), and the number of chunks
currently hot cached in the ChunkMap.
The `doodad` tool has new commands to "touch" your existing levels
and doodads, to upgrade them to the new format (or you can simply
open and re-save them in-game):
doodad edit-level --touch ./example.level
doodad edit-doodad --touch ./example.doodad
The output from that and `doodad show` should say "File format: zipfile"
in the headers section.
To do:
* File attachments should also go in as ZIP files, e.g. wallpapers
Instead of the loadscreen eager-loading ALL level chunks to Go Images, only
load the chunks within the "LoadingViewport" - which is the on-screen
Viewport plus a margin of chunks off the screen edges.
During gameplay, every few ticks, reevaluate which chunks are inside or
outside the LoadingViewport; for chunks outside, free their SDL2 textures
and free their cached bitmaps to keep overall memory usage down. The
AzulianTag-Forest level now stays under 200 Textures at any given time
and the loadscreen goes faster as it doesn't have to load every chunk's
images up front.
The LoadUnloadChunk feature can be turned on/off with feature flags. If
disabled the old behavior is restored: loadscreen loads all images and
the LoadUnloadChunks function is not run.
Other changes:
* loadscreen: do not free textures in the Hide() function as this runs on
a different goroutine and may break. The 4 wallpaper textures are OK
to keep in memory anyway, the loadscreen is reused often!
* Free more leaked textures: on the Inventory frame and when an actor
calls Self.Destroy()
* Stop leaking goroutines in the PubSub feature of the doodad script
engine; scripting.Supervisor.Teardown() sends a stop signal to all
scripts to clean up neatly. Canvas.Destroy() tears down its scripting
supervisor automatically.
* New boolProp to help debug memory issues: eager-render, set it to
false and the loadscreen will not eagerload Go images for all the
level chunks.
* Finally fix the level collision bug where the player could climb walls
to the right.
New features:
* Flood Tool for the editor. It replaces pixels of one color with another,
contiguously. Has limits on how far from the original pixel it will color,
to avoid infinite loops in case the user clicked on wide open void. The
limit when clicking an existing color is 1200px or only a 600px limit if
clicking into the void.
* Cheat code: 'master key' to play locked Story Mode levels.
Level GameRules feature added:
* A new tab in the Level Properties dialog
* Difficulty has been moved to this tab
* Survival Mode: for silver high score, longest time alive is better than
fastest time, for Azulian Tag maps. Gold high score is still based on
fastest time - find the hidden level exit without dying!
Tweaks to the Azulians' jump heights:
* Blue Azulian: 12 -> 14
* Red Azulian: 14 -> 18
* White Azulian: 16 -> 20
Bugs fixed:
* When editing your Palette to rename a color or add a new color, it wasn't
possible to draw with that color until the editor was completely unloaded
and reloaded; this is now fixed.
* Minor bugfix in Difficulty.String() for Peaceful (-1) difficulty to avoid
a negative array index.
* Try and prevent user giving the same name to multiple swatches on their
palette. Replacing the whole palette can let duplication through still.
UI improvements specifically for mobile (running the game with the
`-w mobile` or `-w landscape` options) screen sizes.
* Rework the Settings window to be mobile friendly to landscape
oriented screens (`doodle -w landscape`) and migrate Options tab
to magicform.
* The toolbar in the Editor will be a single column of buttons
on small screens, such as `-w mobile` (375x812) portrait mode
smartphone. On larger screens the toolbar shows in two columns
of buttons.
* Fix tooltips not drawing on top.
* Centralize the hard-coded references to specific font filenames
* Add cheat code: `test load screen` to bring a sample loading screen up
for a few seconds. It needs improvement on `-w landscape`
Two new tools added to the Level Editor:
* Pan Tool: left-click to scroll the level around safely.
* Text Tool: write text onto your level.
Features of the Text Tool:
* Can choose from the game's built-in fonts, size and enter the message
you want to write.
* The mouse cursor previews the text when hovered over the level.
* Click to "stamp" the text onto your level. The currently selected
color swatch will be used to color the text in.
* Adds two new fonts: Azulian.ttf and Rive.ttf that can be selected in
the Text Tool.
Some implementation notes:
* Added package native/engine_sdl.go that handles the lower-level
SDL2_TTF logic to rasterize the text into a black&white image.
* WASM not supported yet (if the game even still built for WASM);
native/engine_wasm.go stubs out the TextToImage() call with a "not
supported" error just in case.
Other changes:
* New Toolbar icons: they are 24x24 instead of 32x32 to make more room
for more tools.
* The toolbar now shows two buttons per row for a more densely packed
layout. For very narrow screen widths (< 600px) the default Vertical
Toolbar layout will use one-button-per-row to not eat too much screen
real estate.
* In the Horizontal Toolbars layout there are 2 buttons per column.
* The title screen now loads the default maps from a LevelPack. The game
no longer ships with the Tutorial levels in the "levels" folder as
default; they are in the LevelPack so the "Edit Drawing" screen begins
as a blank slate for only user levels.
* Add the Zoo level to the Tutorial levelpack
* Bugfixes around changing the player character to work around clipping
issues if the character has changed height drastically.
* Add methods `Invulnerable() bool` and `SetInvulnerable(bool)` to the
Actor API accessible in JavaScript (e.g. `Self.SetInvulnerable(true)`)
* The Anvil is invulnerable - when played as, it can crush other mobs by
jumping on them but is not defeated by those mobs at the same time.
* Anvils don't destroy invulnerable mobs, such as other Anvils.
* Bugfix: the Electric Door is considered to be opened from the first
frame of animation when the door begins opening, and remains opened
until the final frame of animation when it is closing.
* New cheat code: `megaton weight` to play as the Anvil by default.
Adds support for Xbox and Nintendo style game controllers. The gamepad
controls are documented on the README and in the game's Settings window.
The buttons are not customizable yet, except that the player can choose
between two button styles:
* X Style (default): "A" button is on the bottom and "B" on the right.
* N Style: swaps the A/B and the X/Y buttons to use a Nintendo-style
layout instead of an Xbox-style.
* Respawning from a checkpoint grants 3 seconds of immunity in case
enemies are spawn camping.
* Add the white Azulian as an even faster and harder enemy than the red
Azulian: twice as fast, jumps higher, and can detect the player from
further away.
* If the player runs the PlayAsBird cheat they shouldn't be able to win
a high score on a level, so at level startup it detects whether the
DefaultPlayerCharacterDoodad has changed from default on a level that
doesn't use the Start Flag to set a specific doodad - and immediately
marks the session as cheated
* New doodad: Invisible Warp Door
* All warp doors require the player to be grounded (if affected by
gravity) to open them. No jumping or falling thru and opening
a warp door mid-air!
* Title Screen now randomly selects from a couple of levels.
* Title Screen: if it fails to load a level it sets up a basic
blank level with a wallpaper instead.
* New developer shell command: titlescreen <level>
Opens the MainScene with a custom user level as the background.
* Add Auto-save to the Editor to save your drawing every 5 minutes
* Add a MenuBar to the Play Scene for easier navigation to other
features of the game.
* Doodad JS API: time.Since() now available.
* Adds pkg/savegame to store user progress thru Level Packs.
* The savegame.json is mildly tamper resistant by including a checksum
along with the JSON body.
* The checksum combines the JSON string + an app secret (in savegame.go)
+ user specific entropy (stored in their settings.json). If the user
modifies their save file and the checksum becomes invalid the game
will not load the save file, acting like it didn't exist, resetting
all their high scores.
Updates to the Story Mode window:
* On the LevelPacks list: shows e.g. "[completed 0 of 3 levels]" showing
a user's progress thru the level pack.
* Below the levels on the Detail screen:
* Shows an indicator whether the level is completed or not.
* Shows high scores (fastest times beating the level)
* Shows a padlock icon if levels are locked and the player hasn't
reached them yet. Pops up an Alert modal if a locked level is
clicked on.
Scoring is based around your fastest time elapsed to finish the level.
* Perfect Time (gold coin): player has not died during the level.
* Best Time (silver coin): player has continued from a checkpoint.
In-game an elapsed timer is shown in the top left corner along with the
gold or silver coin indicating if your run has been Perfect.
If the user enters any Cheat Codes during gameplay they are not eligible
to win a high score, but the level will still be marked as completed.
The icon next to the in-game timer disappears when a cheat code has been
entered.
* SDL2 builds of the game now set their app window icon.
* Create/Edit Level window is updated to show a tabbed UI to create a
new Level or a new Doodad. The dedicated main menu button to create a
new doodad (which immediately prompted for its size) is replaced by
this new tab's UI.
* Edit Drawing/Play Level window is more responsive to smaller screen
sizes by drawing fewer columns of filenames.
* Bugfix: the Alert and Confirm modals always re-center themselves on
screen, especially to adapt between Portrait or Landscape mode on a
mobile device.
The title screen is now responsive to landscape mode. If the window is
not tall enough to show all the menu buttons (~600px) it will switch to
a horizontal layout with the title on the left and buttons on the right.
WIP "Story Mode" button that brings up a Level Packs selection window.
* The level scroll logic was getting a null pointer crash if you open a
doodad rather than a level file.
* Add a crosshair option to the level editor, configurable in the Game
Settings window.
* Recolor some of the region doodads
* Add command: `doodad edit-level --remove-actor` to remove actors from
your level.
* Tweak the player jump velocity from playtesting levels.
* Tweak max gravity speed to match player max velocity.
* Boy's script watches for his velocity to flip suddenly and stops
animations, limiting the moonwalking a bit.
* JS API: Self.GetVelocity() added.
* The "Giant Screenshot" feature takes a very long time, so it is made
asynchronous. If you try and run a second one while the first is busy,
you get an error flash. You can continue editing the level, even
playtest it, or load a different level, and it will continue crunching
on the Giant Screenshot and flash when it's finished.
* Updated the player physics to use proper Velocity to jump off the
ground rather than the hacky timer-based fixed speed approach.
* FlashError() function to flash "error level" messages to the screen.
They appear in orange text instead of the usual blue, and most error
messages in the game use this now. The dev console "error <msg>"
command can simulate an error message.
* Flashed message fonts are updated. The blue font now uses softer
stroke and shadow colors and the same algorithm applies to the orange
error flashes.
Some other changes to player physics:
* Max velocity, acceleration speed, and gravity have been tweaked.
* Fast turn-around if you are moving right and then need to go left.
Your velocity resets to zero at the transition so you quickly get
going the way you want to go.
Some levels that need a bit of love for the new platforming physics:
* Tutorial 3.level
* New keybind: 'v' to open a new Viewport in the Level Editor.
* New keybind: Backspace to close the topmost UI window,
and Shift+Backspace to close them all.
* Zoom has graduated out of experimental feature status. Still a bit
buggy but workable.
* Viewport windows now copy the Tool and BrushSize of the toplevel
editor, so drawing in and out of viewports works well.
* Viewport window UI improved: buttons to grow or shrink the window
size, refresh the actors, etc.
The game can now be played using only a touch screen! The left
mouse click (Button1) can now move and control the player
character.
* A box in the very middle of the screen is the "Use" button and
a deadzone for directional inputs.
* Anywhere outside the middle and to the left registers a Left
button, to the right a Right button, above the top of the middle
is a Jump button, and below the bottom of the middle is a down
input (for antigravity mode).
* Tight platforming is possible: above and below the middle box,
the left/right split is tight in the middle of the window. You
can get tight jumps if jumping or go below if you don't want to
jump. The left/right deadzone is only over the space of the Use
button.
If the player is idle for a while with no controller inputs, some
hints will fade in about the touch controls.
Note: the ScrollboxOffset to track the player character is changed
to 60,60 from 60,100 so the camera will track tighter to the player
and so the player will mostly be over the Use button on touch
controls as long as he's away from a level boundary.
Improvements to the Zoom feature:
* Actor position and size within your level scales up and down
appropriately. The canvas size of the actor is scaled and its canvas
is told the Zoom number of the parent so it will render its own
graphic scaled correctly too.
Other features:
* "Experimental" tab added to the Settings window as a UI version of the
--experimental CLI option. The option saves persistently to disk.
* The "Replace Palette" experimental feature now works better. Debating
whether it's a useful feature to even have.
