* Mac app: exclude the redundant copy of rtp/ folder in the .dmg disk
image as it only needs to live inside the .app bundle.
* Fix the settings.json file to be initialized and saved to disk on
first launch of the game, and the crosshair color default.
* Fix the chdir detection in main.go especially to locate the rtp/
folder inside the macOS app bundle.
Made some fixes to touchscreen control detection:
* TouchScreenMode is activated on the first SDL2 FingerDown
* TouchScreenMode deactivates after the last finger is removed, and a
mouse event happens at least 5 ticks later.
* 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`)
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.
* 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.
* The Red Bird now records its original altitude on the level and will
try and return there should it accidentally climb up or down a wall.
Sometimes goes into a wavy pattern surrounding its original altitude.
* Editor UI: in the default (vertical) toolbar, the Palette now has a
two column view to show more color choices on screen at once.
* User setting added: hide the touch control hints.
* 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.
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.
* 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.
