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.

fd649b7ab1 Doodad CLI Tool Features; Write Lock and Hidden
* 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.

22440f436b Add Scrolling in the Doodad Palette Window
* Rudimentary scrolling shows a Left and Right button at the top of the
  Doodad Palette if your window is deemed not tall enough to contain all
  of the doodads.
* A "progress bar" is shown between the buttons indicating the
  percentage of your scroll down the doodad list. When you're able to
  see the final row of doodads, the progress bar is at 100%.

5a1ec156ca Editor Mode: Line Tool and Rectangle Tool
* 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

c8620f871e Drawing Strokes and Undo/Redo Functionality
* 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.

0c22ecae5e Level Exit Doodad
* Add a Level Exit doodad, which for now is a little blue flag on a pole
  that reads "END"
* JavaScript API: global function EndLevel() will end the level. The
  exit doodad calls this when touched by the player.
* Add a "Level Completed" alert box UI to PlayScene with dynamic button
  layouts.
  * The alert box pops up when a doodad calls EndLevel() and contains
    action buttons what to do next.
  * "Play Again" restarts the current level again.
  * "Edit Level" if you came from the EditorScene; otherwise this button
    is not visible.
  * "Next Level" is a to-be-implemented button to advance in the single
    player story mode. Only shows up when PlayScene.HasNext=true.
  * "Exit to Menu" is always visible and closes out to the MainScene.

9efe16582c Add Play/Edit Buttons to Toggle Between Modes
* Instead of needing to press the "P" and "E" keys to toggle from edit
  mode to play mode (and back again), respectively, the UI now draws a
  "Play (P)" or "Edit (E)" button on the bottom right corner of the
  level canvas. Clicking it will toggle the mode.

3d3561b8e6 Blueprint Theme Palette
* Fix the EditorUI not showing the correct palette baked into the level
  and only showing the default. This was tricky because the palette UI
  can only be configured at setup time but not updated later.
* Add a new default palette for the Blueprint theme. Blueprint has a
  dark background, so the palette colors should be bright. This palette
  is chosen when you start a map with the blueprint wallpaper.
* Add a background Canvas to the MenuScene. In the "New Level" screen,
  the background canvas will update to show the wallpaper settings
  you've chosen as a preview of the level theme you're about to create.

1150d6d3e9 Add Branding Module for Centralized Game Info
* Moves the game's Title, Summary and Version into pkg/branding where it
  is centrally controlled.

f76ba6fbb7 WIP: MsgPack stubs, Level Filesystem Module
* Add some encoding/decoding functions for binary msgpack format for
  levels and doodads. Currently it writes msgpack files that can be
  decoded and printed by Python (mp2json.py) but it can't re-read from
  the binary format. For now, levels will continue to write in JSON
  format.
* Add filesystem abstraction functions to the balance/ package to search
  multiple paths to find Levels and Doodads, to make way for
  system-level doodads.

258b2eb285 Script Timers, Multiple Doodad Frames
* 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)

241186209c Play Mode: Fix Level Collision w/ Scrolling
Fixes:
* Move the call to CollidesWithGrid() inside the Canvas instead of
  outside in the PlayScene.movePlayer() so it can apply to all Actors
  in motion.
* PlayScene.movePlayer() in turn just sets the player's Velocity so the
  Canvas.Loop() can move the actor itself.
* When keeping the player inside the level boundaries: previously it was
  assuming the player Position was relative to the window, and was
  checking the WorldIndexAt and getting wrong results.
* Canvas scrolling (loopFollowActor): check that the actor is getting
  close to the screen edge using the Viewport into the world, NOT the
  screen-relative coordinates of the Canvas bounding boxes.
