0a8bce708e Actor Zoom + Experimental Settings GUI
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.

1105d9312a Updater: Better SemVer version checks for updates
* Instead of a simple "cur. ver != latest ver" check, parse the Major,
  Minor and Patch components and do a detailed check.
* So a x.x.1 release could be made for a specific platform that had a
  bad build, and it won't mind when it sees the latest version is the
  older x.x.0 build that other platforms had working fine.

dce32ea14b Diverge Free vs. Paid Features
* Free (shareware) versions of the game will not be able to Publish
  Levels (attach custom doodads to the level file) and they will not be
  able to load a level which relies on embedded doodads.
* The UI for the Publish Level window is still available, but clicking
  on the confirm button will just open the Register (License) window.
* When loading a level containing embedded doodads: if some can't load
  because they're embedded and you're using the free version of the
  game, the error message is customized to reflect that.

7093b102e3 Embeddable Doodads In Levels
* The Publisher is all hooked up. No native Save File dialogs yet, so
  uses the dev shell Prompt() to ask for output filename.
* Custom-only or builtin doodads too can be stored in the level's file
  data, at "assets/doodads/*.doodad"
* When loading the embedded level in the Editor: it gets its custom
  doodads out of its file, and you can drag and drop them elsehwere,
  link them, Play Mode can use them, etc. but they won't appear in the
  Doodad Dropper if they are not installed in your local doodads
  directory.
* Fleshed out serialization API for the Doodad files:
  - LoadFromEmbeddable() looks to load a doodad from embeddable file
    data in addition to the usual places.
  - Serialize() returns the doodad in bytes, for easy access to embed
    into level data.
  - Deserialize() to parse and return from bytes.
* When loading a level that references doodads not found in its embedded
  data or the filesystem: an Alert modal appears listing the missing
  doodads. The rest of the level loads fine, but the actors referenced
  by these doodads don't load.

d14eaf7df2 Collision Box Updates
* The F4 key to draw collision boxes works reliably again: it draws the
  player's hitbox in world-space using the canvas.DrawStrokes()
  function, rather than in screen-space so it follows the player
  reliably.
* The F4 key also draws hitboxes for ALL other actors in the level:
  buttons, enemies, doors, etc.
* The level geometry collision function is updated to respect a doodad's
  declared Hitbox from their script, which may result in a smaller box
  than their raw Canvas size. The result is tighter collision between
  doodads, and Boy's sprite is rather narrow for its square Canvas so
  collision on rightward geometry is tighter for the player character.
* Collision checks between actors also respect the actor's declared
  hitboxes now, allowing for Boy to get even closer to a locked door
  before being blocked.

3892087932 Doodads: Use Key and Working Warp Doors
* The "Use Key" (Q or Spacebar) now activates the Warp Door instead of a
  collision event doing so.
* Warp Doors are now functional: the player opens a door, disappears,
  the door closes; player is teleported to the linked door which opens,
  appears the player and closes.
* If the player exits thru a Blue or Orange door which is disabled
  (dotted outline), the door still opens and drops the player off but
  returns to a Disabled state, acting as a one-way door.
* Clean up several debug log lines from Doodle and doodad scripts.

2c1185cc9f Doodads: Warp Doors, Bird, Larger State Blocks
* The blue and orange ON/OFF state blocks have all been increased in
  size to better match the player character (42x42 up from 33x33)
* Added a new mob: the Red Bird. It flies back and forth while
  maintaining its altitude, similar to the Red Azulian. Planned AI
  behavior is to divebomb the player when it gets close. Dive sprites
  are included but not yet hooked up in JavaScript.
* Warp Doors! (WIP). They have a golden "W" on them and come in three
  varieties: Brown, Blue and Orange. The blue and orange ones are
  sensitive to the State Block and will become dotted outlines when
  inactive (and can not be entered in this state). The door opens for
  the player character, makes him disappear, then closes again. The plan
  is it will then warp you to the location of a linked Warp Door
  elsewhere on the level, but for now it will just make the player
  re-appear after completing the Close Door animation.

38614ee280 Tighten Doodad JavaScript API, User Documentation
* 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

08e65c32b5 Overhaul the Platformer Physics System
* Player character now experiences acceleration and friction when
  walking around the map!
* Actor position and movement had to be converted from int's
  (render.Point) to float64's to support fine-grained acceleration
  steps.
* Added "physics" package and physics.Vector to be a float64 counterpart
  for render.Point. Vector is used for uix.Actor.Position() for the sake
  of movement math. Vector is flattened back to a render.Point for
  collision purposes, since the levels and hitboxes are pixel-bound.
* Refactor the uix.Actor to no longer extend the doodads.Drawing (so it
  can have a Position that's a Vector instead of a Point). This broke
  some code that expected `.Doodad` to directly reference the
  Drawing.Doodad: now you had to refer to it as `a.Drawing.Doodad` which
  was ugly. Added convenience method .Doodad() for a shortcut.
* Moved functions like GetBoundingRect() from doodads package to
  collision, where it uses its own slimmer Actor interface for just the
  relevant methods it needs.

8965a7d86a Doodads: Crumbly Floor, Start Flag & State Blocks
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.

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.

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)

1e80304061 Initial Doodad JavaScript System
* 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.

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.
