* 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.
* You can now browse for a custom wallpaper image to use with your
levels. A platform-native file picker dialog is used (no WASM support)
* In the New/Edit Level Properties dialog, the Wallpaper drop-down
includes an option to browse for a custom map.
* When editing an existing level: the wallpaper takes effect immediately
in your level once the file is picked. For NEW levels, the wallpaper
will appear once the "Continue" button is pressed.
* All common image types supported: png, jpeg, gif.
* The wallpaper is embedded in the level using the filepath
"assets/wallpapers/custom.b64img" as a Base64-encoded blob of the
image data.
* The `doodad show` command will list the names and sizes of files
embedded in levels. `doodad show --attachment <name>` will get an
attachment and print it to the console window.
* To extract a wallpaper image from a level:
`doodad show -a assets/wallpapers/custom.b64img | base64 -d > out.png`
* Tightens up the surface area of API methods available to the
JavaScript VMs for doodads. Variables and functions are carefully
passed in one-by-one so the doodad script can only access intended
functions and not snoop on undocumented APIs.
* Wrote tons of user documentation for Doodad Scripts: documented the
full surface area of the exposed JavaScript API now that the surface
area is known and limited.
* Early WIP code for the Campaign JSON
* The `doodad edit-doodad` command now allows setting custom key/value
tags in doodad files, for extra data storage useful to their scripts.
* Colored keys and doors now store a `color` tag with the appropriate
color so that their scripts don't have to parse their Title to find
that information.
* Trapdoors now store a `direction` tag to hold the direction the door
is facing.
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.
* 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.
* Add animation support for Doodad actors (Play Mode) into the core
engine, so that the Doodad script can register named animations and
play them without managing all the details themselves.
* Doodad API functions on Self: AddAnimation, PlayAnimation,
StopAnimation, IsAnimating
* CLI: the `doodad convert` command will name each layer after the
filename used as the input image.
* CLI: fix the `doodad convert` command creating duplicate Palette
colors when converting a series of input images into a Doodad.
* CLI: fix the `doodad convert` command to share the same Palette when
converting each frame (layer) of a doodad so subsequent layers find
the correct color swatches for serialization.
* Scripting: add timers and intervals to Doodad scripts to allow them to
animate themselves or add delayed callbacks. The timers have the same
API as a web browser: setTimeout(), setInterval(), clearTimeout(),
clearInterval().
* Add support for uix.Actor to change its currently rendered layer in
the level. For example a Button Doodad can set its image to Layer 1
(pressed) when touched by the player, and Trapdoors can cycle through
their layers to animate opening and closing.
* Usage from a Doodad script: Self.ShowLayer(1)
* Default Doodads: added scripts for all Buttons, Doors, Keys and the
Trapdoor to run their various animations when touched (in the case of
Keys, destroy themselves when touched, because there is no player
inventory yet)
* Improve the `doodad convert` command to convert a series of input
images into multiple Frames of a Doodad:
`doodad convert frame1.png frame2.png frameN.png output.doodad`
* Add the initial round of dev-asset sprites for the default Doodads:
* Button, Button-TypeB and Sticky Button
* Red, Blue, Green and Yellow Locked Doors and Keys
* Electric Door
* Trapdoor Down
* Add dev-assets/palette.json that defines our default doodad color
palette. Eventually the JSON will be used by the `doodad` tool to give
the layers meaningful names.
* 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.
