* Simplify building Doodle by cloning outside dependencies (like
go/render and go/ui) into the deps/ folder, to assist with Flatpak
building the app from source easily.
* Update the Makefile to choose MacOS friendly `date` formats.
* Build the Windows doodle.exe binary as a GUI application to skip the
console window.
* Added Mac OS build instructions.
* Load SDL2 fonts from go-bindata storage so we don't have to ship
external font files on disk.
* Dedupe names of doodads so we don't show double on the front-end
(go-bindata bundled doodads + those on local filesystem)
* Use go-bindata for accessing wallpaper images.
* Better flashed messages walking you through the Link Tool.
* Stylize the title screen (MainScene) by rendering a live example level
as the background wallpaper, with mobile doodads in motion.
* 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)
* Initial WebAssembly build target for Doodle in the wasm/ folder.
* Add a new render.Engine implementation, lib/render/canvas that uses
the HTML 5 Canvas API instead of SDL2 for the WebAssembly target.
* Ported the basic DrawLine(), DrawBox() etc. functions from SDL2 to
Canvas context2d API.
* Fonts are handled with CSS embedded fonts named after the font
filename and defined in wasm/index.html
* `make wasm` builds the WASM program, and `make wasm-serve` runs a dev
Go server that hosts the WASM file for development. The server also
watches the dev tree for *.go files and rebuilds the WASM binary
automatically on change.
* This build "basically" runs the game. UI and fonts all work and mouse
movements and clicks are detected. No wallpaper support yet or texture
caching (which will crash the game as soon as you click and draw a
pixel in your map!)
* 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.
* 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.
* Build the app with -tags="shareware" to compile the free/shareware
build of the game.
* `make build-free` compiles both binaries to the bin/ folder in
shareware mode.
* The constant balance.FreeVersion is true in the shareware build and
all functionality related to the Doodad Editor UI mode is disabled
in this build mode.
* Added Windows build instructions to Building.md and added a
"make mingw" command to cross-compile the Windows binary into
the bin/ folder.
* Fix a bug in the Wallpaper texture loader where it would error out
when caching textures to disk the first time.
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.
* Increase the default window size from 800x600 to 1024x768.
* Move the drawing canvas in EditorMode to inside the EditorUI where it can
be better managed with the other widgets it shares the screen with.
* Slightly fix Frame packing bug (with East orientation) that was causing
right-aligned statusbar items to be partially cropped off-screen. Moved a
couple statusbar labels in EditorMode to the right.
* Add `Parent()` and `Adopt()` methods to widgets for when they're managed
by containers like the Frame.
* Add utility functions to UI toolkit for computing a widget's Absolute
Position and Absolute Rect, by crawling all parent widgets and summing
them up.
* Add `lib/debugging` package with useful stack tracing utilities.
* Add `make guitest` to launch the program into the GUI Test.
The command line flag is: `doodle -guitest`
* Console: add a `close` command which returns to the MainScene.
* Initialize the font cache directory (~/.cache/doodle/fonts) but don't
extract the fonts there yet.
