* Start the program window maximized with the `-w maximized` CLI option.
* Move the Doodad Palette off the right-side dock of the Editor Scene and
into its own pop-up window: the DoodadDropper.
* Shrink the width of the Color Palette panel and show only the colors in
the buttons. The name of the swatch is available in the mouse-over tooltip.
* Added an "Edit" button to the Color Palette. It opens a Palette Editor
window where you can rename, change colors and attributes of existing colors
OR insert new colors into your palette. (Deleting colors not yet supported).
* level.Chunker gets a Redraw method: invalidates all cached textures of all
chunks forcing the level to redraw itself, possibly with an updated palette.
Add new doodads:
* Start Flag: place this in a level to set the spawn point of the player
character. If no flag is found, the player spawns at 0,0 in the top
corner of the map. Only use one Start Flag per level, otherwise the
player will randomly spawn at one of them.
* Crumbly Floor: a solid floor that begins to shake and then fall apart
after a moment when a mobile character steps on it. The floor respawns
after 5 seconds.
* State Blocks: blue and orange blocks that toggle between solid and
pass-thru whenever a State Button is activated.
* State Button: a solid "ON/OFF" block that toggles State Blocks back
and forth when touched. Only activates if touched on the side or bottom;
acts as a solid floor when walked on from the top.
New features for doodad scripts:
* Actor scripts: call SetMobile(true) to mark an actor as a mobile mob
(i.e. player character or enemy). Other doodads can check if the actor
colliding with them IsMobile so they don't activate if placed too close
to other (non-mobile) doodads in a level. The Blue and Red Azulians
are the only mobile characters so far.
* Message.Broadcast allows sending a pub/sub message out to ALL doodads
in the level, instead of only to linked doodads as Message.Publish does.
This is used for the State Blocks to globally communicate on/off status
without needing to link them all together manually.
* Add initial Ellipse Tool to the Editor Mode. Currently there's
something wrong with the algorithm and the ellipses have a sort of
'lemon shape' to them.
* Refactor the IterLine/IterLine2 functions to be more consistent.
IterLine used to be the raw algorithm that took a bunch of coordinate
numbers and IterLine2 took two render.Point's and was the main one
used throughout the app. Now, IterLine takes the two Points and the
raw algorithm function removed.
* Implement Brush Sizes for drawtool.Stroke and add a UI to the tools panel
to control the brush size.
* Brush sizes: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 24, 32, 48, 64
* Add the Eraser Tool to editor mode. It uses a default brush size of 16
and a max size of 32 due to some performance issues.
* The Undo/Redo system now remembers the original color of pixels when
you change them, so that Undo will set them back how they were instead
of deleting the pixel entirely. Due to performance issues, this only
happens when your Brush Size is 0 (drawing single-pixel shapes).
* UI: Add an IntVariable option to ui.Label to bind showing the value of
an int reference.
Aforementioned performance issues:
* When we try to remember whole rects of pixels for drawing thick
shapes, it requires a ton of scanning for each step of the shape. Even
de-duplicating pixel checks, tons of extra reads are constantly
checked.
* The Eraser is the only tool that absolutely needs to be able to
remember wiped pixels AND have large brush sizes. The performance
sucks and lags a bit if you erase a lot all at once, but it's a
trade-off for now.
* So pixels aren't remembered when drawing lines in your level with
thick brushes, so the Undo action will simply delete your pixels and not
reset them. Only the Eraser can bring back pixels.
* 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.
* Add support for the LineTool and RectTool while in the EditorMode to
easily draw straight lines and rectangle outlines.
* Key bindings were added to toggle tools in lieu of a proper UI to
select the tool from a toolbar.
* "F" for Pencil (Freehand) Tool (since "P" is for "Playtest")
* "L" for Line Tool
* "R" for Rectangle Tool
* 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.
* Add RGBA color blending support in WASM build.
* Initial texture caching API for Canvas renderer engine. The WASM build
writes the chunk caches as a "data:image/png" base64 URL on the
browser's sessionStorage, for access to copy into the Canvas.
* Separated the ClickEvent from the MouseEvent (motion) in the WASM
event queue system, to allow clicking and dragging.
* Added the EscapeKey handler, which will abruptly terminate the WASM
application, same as it kills the window in the desktop build.
* Optimization fix: I discovered that if the user clicks and holds over
a single pixel when drawing a level, repeated Set() operations were
firing meaning multiple cache invalidations. Not noticeable on PC but
on WebAssembly it crippled the browser. Now if the cursor isn't moving
it doesn't do anything.
* On the Doodads tab is the Link button to enter the Link Tool.
* Click Link, then click the 1st doodad on the level, then click the 2nd
doodad to complete the link.
* The actors struct in the Level holds the link IDs for each actor.
