47cca8c7c6 Palette Editor and Doodad Dropper Windows
* 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.

cc1e441232 Eraser Tool, Brush Sizes
* 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.

a504658055 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.

b17ca34de2 Bindata: Embedding Doodads and Levels (for WASM)
* Use `go-bindata` to embed built-in doodads and levels directly into
  the Doodle binary. `make bindata` produces the bindata source file.
* Add `FromJSON()` method to Levels and Doodads to load objects from
  JSON strings in memory (for bindata built-ins or WASM ajax requests)
* Update file loading functions to check the embedded bindata files.
  * pkg/config.go#EditFile:
    * Supports editing a level from bindata (TODO: remove this support)
    * If the "assets/levels/%(simple-name.level)" exists in bindata,
      edits that drawing.
    * No such support for editing built-in doodads.
    * WASM has no filesystem access to edit files except built-in
      levels (yet)
  * pkg/doodads#ListDoodads:
    * Prepends built-in doodads from bindata to the returned list.
    * WASM: no filesystem access so gets only the built-ins.
  * pkg/doodads#LoadFile:
    * Checks built-in bindata store first for doodad files.
    * WASM: tries an HTTP request if not found in bindata but can go no
      further if not found (no filesystem access)
  * pkg/filesystem#FindFile:
    * This function finds a level/doodad by checking all the places.
    * If the level or doodad exists in bindata built-in, always returns
      its system path like "assets/doodads/test.doodad"
    * WASM: always returns the built-in candidate path even if not found
      in bindata so that ajax GET can be attempted.
  * pkg/level#ListSystemLevels:
    * New function that lists the system level files, similar to the
      equivalent doodads function.
    * Prepends the bindata built-in level files.
    * WASM: only returns the built-ins (no filesystem support)
    * Desktop: also lists and returns the assets/levels/ directory.
  * pkg/level#LoadFile:
    * Like the doodads.LoadFile, tries from built-in bindata first, then
      ajax request (WASM) before accessing the filesystem (desktop)
* Menu Scene: TODO, list the built-in levels in the Load Level menu.
  This feature will soon go away when WASM gets its own storage for user
  levels (localStorage instead of filesystem)

ba6892aa95 WASM Texture Caching
* Refactor texture caching in render.Engine:
  * New interface method: NewTexture(filename string, image.Image)
  * WASM immediately encodes the image to PNG and generates a JavaScript
    `Image()` object to load it with a data URI and keep it in memory.
  * SDL2 saves the bitmap to disk as it did before.
  * WASM: deprecate the sessionStorage for holding image data. Session
    storage methods panic if called. The image data is directly kept in
    Go memory as a js.Value holding an Image().
* Shared Memory workaround: the level.Chunk.ToBitmap() function is where
  chunk textures get cached, but it had no access to the render.Engine
  used in the game. The `pkg/shmem` package holds global pointers to
  common structures like the CurrentRenderEngine as a work-around.
  * Also shmem.Flash() so Doodle can make its d.Flash() function
    globally available, any sub-package can now flash text to the screen
    regardless of source code location.
  * JavaScript API for Doodads now has a global Flash() function
    available.
* WASM: Handle window resize so Doodle can recompute its dimensions
  instead of scaling/shrinking the view.
