cf1bc81f25 Update savegame format, Allow out-of-bounds camera
Updates the savegame.json file format:

* Levels now have a UUID value assigned at first save.
* The savegame.json will now track level completion/score based on UUID,
making it robust to filename changes in either levels or levelpacks.
* The savegame file is auto-migrated on startup - for any levels not
found or have no UUID, no change is made, it's backwards compatible.
* Level Properties window adds an "Advanced" tab to show/re-roll UUID.

New JavaScript API for doodad scripts:

* `Actors.CameraFollowPlayer()` tells the camera to return focus to the
  player character. Useful for "cutscene" doodads that freeze the player,
  call `Self.CameraFollowMe()` and do a thing before unfreezing and sending the
  camera back to the player. (Or it will follow them at their next directional
  input control).
* `Self.MoveBy(Point(x, y int))` to move the current actor a bit.

New option for the `doodad` command-line tool:

* `doodad resave <.level or .doodad>` will load and re-save a drawing, to
  migrate it to the newest file format versions.

Small tweaks:

* On bounded levels, allow the camera to still follow the player if the player
  finds themselves WELL far out of bounds (40 pixels margin). So on bounded
  levels you can create "interior rooms" out-of-bounds to Warp Door into.
* New wallpaper: "Atmosphere" has a black starscape pattern that fades into a
  solid blue atmosphere.
* Camera strictly follows the player the first 20 ticks, not 60 of level start
* If player is frozen, directional inputs do not take the camera focus back.

ecaa8c6cef SemiSolid Pixels + Icons
* Add new pixel attributes: SemiSolid and Slippery (the latter is WIP)
* SemiSolid pixels are only solid below the player character. You can walk on
  them and up and down SemiSolid slopes, but can freely pass through from the
  sides or jump through from below.
* Update the Palette Editor UI to replace the Attributes buttons: instead of
  text labels they now have smaller icons (w/ tooltips) for the Solid,
  SemiSolid, Fire, Water and Slippery attributes.
* Bugfix in Palette Editor: use cropped (24x24) images for the Tex buttons so
  that the large Bubbles texture stays within its designated space!
* uix.Actor.SetGrounded() to also set the Y velocity to zero when an actor
  becomes grounded. This fixes a minor bug where the player's Y velocity (due
  to gravity) was not updated while they were grounded, which may eventually
  become useful to allow them to jump down thru a SemiSolid floor. Warp Doors
  needed a fix to work around the bug, to set the player's Grounded(false) or
  else they would hover a few pixels above the ground at their destination,
  since Grounded status paused gravity calculations.

701073cecc Doodad/Actor Runtime Options
* Add "Options" support for Doodads: these allow for individual Actor instances
  on your level to customize properties about the doodad. They're like "Tags"
  except the player can customize them on a per-actor basis.
* Doodad Editor: you can specify the Options in the Doodad Properties window.
* Level Editor: when the Actor Tool is selected, on mouse-over of an actor,
  clicking on the gear icon will open a new "Actor Properties" window which
  shows metadata (title, author, ID, position) and an Options tab to configure
  the actor's options.

Updates to the scripting API:

* Self.Options() returns a list of option names defined on the Doodad.
* Self.GetOption(name) returns the value for the named option, or nil if
  neither the actor nor its doodad have the option defined. The return type
  will be correctly a string, boolean or integer type.

Updates to the doodad command-line tool:

* `doodad show` will print the Options on a .doodad file and, when showing a
  .level file with --actors, prints any customized Options with the actors.
* `doodad edit-doodad` adds a --option parameter to define options.

Options added to the game's built-in doodads:

* Warp Doors: "locked (exit only)" will make it so the door can not be opened
  by the player, giving the "locked" message (as if it had no linked door),
  but the player may still exit from the door if sent by another warp door.
* Electric Door & Electric Trapdoor: "opened" can make the door be opened by
  default when the level begins instead of closed. A switch or a button that
  removes power will close the door as normal.
* Colored Doors & Small Key Door: "unlocked" will make the door unlocked at
  level start, not requiring a key to open it.
* Colored Keys & Small Key: "has gravity" will make the key subject to gravity
  and set its Mobile flag so that if it falls onto a button, it will activate.
* Gemstones: they had gravity by default; you can now uncheck "has gravity" to
  remove their Gravity and IsMobile status.
* Gemstone Totems: "has gemstone" will set the totem to its unlocked status by
  default with the gemstone inserted. No power signal will be emitted; it is
  cosmetic only.
* Fire Region: "name" can let you set a name for the fire region similarly to
  names for fire pixels: "Watch out for ${name}!"
* Invisible Warp Door: "locked (exit only)" added as well.

94d0da78e7 Swimming Physics and Bubble Pattern
Water pixels finally do something other than turn your character blue!

* When the player character is "wet" (touching water pixels, and so appearing in
  a blue mask), water physics apply: gravity is slower, your jump height is
  halved, but you get infinite jumps to swim higher in the water.
* Holding the jump key under water will incur a short delay between jumps, so
  that you don't just fly straight up to the surface. Tap the jump button to
  move up quicker, you can spam it all you want.

Azulians are also able to handle being under water:

* They'll sink to the bottom and keep walking back and forth normally.
* If you are above them and noticed, they'll jump (swim) up towards you,
  aware of the water and it jumps like you do.
* The Blue Azulian has the poorest vertical aggro range so it isn't a
  very good swimmer. The White Azulian is very good at navigating water
  as it can pursue the player from the furthest distance of them all.

Changes to the editor:

* New brush pattern added: bubbles.png
  * It's the default pattern now for the "water" color of all
    of the built-in palettes instead of ink.png
  * A repeating pattern of bubbles carved out showing the
    level wallpaper.
  * The old "Bubbles (circles.png)" is renamed "Circles"
* The last scroll position is saved with the Level file, so when you reload
  the level later it's scrolled at where you left it.

4efa8d00fc Fancy Mouse Cursors
The gamepad mouse cursor has become THE mouse cursor. It is always visible and your
real cursor is hidden, and this way the game can swap out other cursors for certain
scenarios:

* The Pencil Tool in the editor will use a pencil cursor over the level canvas.
* The Flood Tool has a custom Flood cursor so you don't forget it's selected!

Other improvements:

* The Palette buttons in the editor now render using their swatch's pattern
  instead of only using its color.
* If you have an ultra HD monitor and open a Bounded level in the editor which
  is too small to fill your screen, the editor canvas limits its size to fit
  the level (preferable over showing parts of the level you can't actually play
  as it's out of bounds).
* The "brush size" box is only drawn around the cursor when a relevant tool is
  selected (Pencil, Line, Rect, Ellipse, Eraser)

9b75f1b039 Spit and polish
* New built-in wallpaper: "Dotted paper (dark)" is a dark-themed wallpaper.
* New built-in palette: "Neon Bright" with bright colors for dark levels.
* New cheat: "warp whistle" to automatically win the level.
* In case the user has a VERY LARGE screen resolution bigger than the full
  bounds of a Bounded level, the Play Scene will cap the size and center
  the level canvas onto the window. This is preferable to being able to see
  beyond the level's boundaries and hitting an invisible wall in-game.
* Make the titlescreen Lazy Scroll work on unbounded levels. It can't bounce
  off scroll boundaries but it will reverse course if it reaches the level's
  furthest limits.
* Bugfix: characters' white eyes were transparent in-game. Multiple culprits
  from the `doodad convert` tool defaulting the chroma key to white, to the
  SDL2 textures considering white to be transparent. For the latter, the game
  offsets the color by -1 blue.

fc736abd5f Doodads: Gems, Snake and Crusher
Adds several new doodads to the game and 5 new wallpapers (parchment
paper in blue, green, red, white and yellow).

New doodads:

* Crusher: A purple block-headed mob wearing an iron helmet. It tries
  to crush the player when you get underneath. Its flat helmet can be
  ridden on like an elevator back up.
* Snake: A green stationary mob that always faces toward the player.
  If the player is nearby and jumps, the Snake will jump too and hope
  to catch the player in mid-air.
* Gems and Totems: A new key & lock collectible. Gems have quantity so
  you can collect multiple, and place them into matching Totems. A
  Totem gives off a power signal when its gem is placed and all other
  Totems it is linked to have also been activated. A single Totem may
  link to an Electric Door and require only one gem to open it, or it
  can link to other Totems and they all require gems before the power
  signal is sent out.

af6b8625d6 Flood Tool, Survival Mode for Azulian Tag
New features:
* Flood Tool for the editor. It replaces pixels of one color with another,
  contiguously. Has limits on how far from the original pixel it will color,
  to avoid infinite loops in case the user clicked on wide open void. The
  limit when clicking an existing color is 1200px or only a 600px limit if
  clicking into the void.
* Cheat code: 'master key' to play locked Story Mode levels.

Level GameRules feature added:
* A new tab in the Level Properties dialog
* Difficulty has been moved to this tab
* Survival Mode: for silver high score, longest time alive is better than
  fastest time, for Azulian Tag maps. Gold high score is still based on
  fastest time - find the hidden level exit without dying!

Tweaks to the Azulians' jump heights:
* Blue Azulian:  12 -> 14
* Red Azulian:   14 -> 18
* White Azulian: 16 -> 20

Bugs fixed:
* When editing your Palette to rename a color or add a new color, it wasn't
  possible to draw with that color until the editor was completely unloaded
  and reloaded; this is now fixed.
* Minor bugfix in Difficulty.String() for Peaceful (-1) difficulty to avoid
  a negative array index.
* Try and prevent user giving the same name to multiple swatches on their
  palette. Replacing the whole palette can let duplication through still.

77297fd60d Text Tool and Pan Tool
Two new tools added to the Level Editor:

* Pan Tool: left-click to scroll the level around safely.
* Text Tool: write text onto your level.

Features of the Text Tool:

* Can choose from the game's built-in fonts, size and enter the message
  you want to write.
* The mouse cursor previews the text when hovered over the level.
* Click to "stamp" the text onto your level. The currently selected
  color swatch will be used to color the text in.
* Adds two new fonts: Azulian.ttf and Rive.ttf that can be selected in
  the Text Tool.

Some implementation notes:

* Added package native/engine_sdl.go that handles the lower-level
  SDL2_TTF logic to rasterize the text into a black&white image.
* WASM not supported yet (if the game even still built for WASM);
  native/engine_wasm.go stubs out the TextToImage() call with a "not
  supported" error just in case.

Other changes:

* New Toolbar icons: they are 24x24 instead of 32x32 to make more room
  for more tools.
* The toolbar now shows two buttons per row for a more densely packed
  layout. For very narrow screen widths (< 600px) the default Vertical
  Toolbar layout will use one-button-per-row to not eat too much screen
  real estate.
* In the Horizontal Toolbars layout there are 2 buttons per column.

4de0126b19 Game Controller Support
Adds support for Xbox and Nintendo style game controllers. The gamepad
controls are documented on the README and in the game's Settings window.

The buttons are not customizable yet, except that the player can choose
between two button styles:

* X Style (default): "A" button is on the bottom and "B" on the right.
* N Style: swaps the A/B and the X/Y buttons to use a Nintendo-style
  layout instead of an Xbox-style.

9e4f34864d Remove MsgPack, Fix doodad display on top/left edges
* Clean up unused msgpack code for levels and doodads
* Fix the cosmetic bug where actors in your level would display wrongly
  when scrolling off the top/left edges of the screen: they used to
  anchor at their own 0,0 coordinate and crop their width/height leading
  to a 'scrolling' effect that didn't happen on the right/bottom edges.

cbd7816fdf Easter Egg: RiveScript Chatbot
The Default handler of the developer command shell now calls out to
RiveScript to match the user's message to a friendly reply. If
RiveScript returns NoReplyMatched then give the "command not found"
error.

672ee9641a Savegame and High Scores
* Adds pkg/savegame to store user progress thru Level Packs.
* The savegame.json is mildly tamper resistant by including a checksum
  along with the JSON body.
* The checksum combines the JSON string + an app secret (in savegame.go)
  + user specific entropy (stored in their settings.json). If the user
  modifies their save file and the checksum becomes invalid the game
  will not load the save file, acting like it didn't exist, resetting
  all their high scores.

Updates to the Story Mode window:

* On the LevelPacks list: shows e.g. "[completed 0 of 3 levels]" showing
  a user's progress thru the level pack.
* Below the levels on the Detail screen:
  * Shows an indicator whether the level is completed or not.
  * Shows high scores (fastest times beating the level)
  * Shows a padlock icon if levels are locked and the player hasn't
    reached them yet. Pops up an Alert modal if a locked level is
    clicked on.

Scoring is based around your fastest time elapsed to finish the level.

* Perfect Time (gold coin): player has not died during the level.
* Best Time (silver coin): player has continued from a checkpoint.

In-game an elapsed timer is shown in the top left corner along with the
gold or silver coin indicating if your run has been Perfect.

If the user enters any Cheat Codes during gameplay they are not eligible
to win a high score, but the level will still be marked as completed.
The icon next to the in-game timer disappears when a cheat code has been
entered.

d16a8657aa Window Icon, UI Polish
* SDL2 builds of the game now set their app window icon.
* Create/Edit Level window is updated to show a tabbed UI to create a
  new Level or a new Doodad. The dedicated main menu button to create a
  new doodad (which immediately prompted for its size) is replaced by
  this new tab's UI.
* Edit Drawing/Play Level window is more responsive to smaller screen
  sizes by drawing fewer columns of filenames.
* Bugfix: the Alert and Confirm modals always re-center themselves on
  screen, especially to adapt between Portrait or Landscape mode on a
  mobile device.

7866f618da First-class Doodad Hitboxes + Generic Item Script
A new property is added to the Doodad struct: Hitbox (Rect).

The uix.Actor for Play Mode will defer to the Doodad.Hitbox until the
JavaScript has manually set its own via Self.SetHitbox(). So in effect,
scripts no longer need to worry about their hitbox! The one assigned to
the Doodad will be the default.

Scripts can check if their hitbox is zero before setting a default:

  if (Self.Hitbox().IsZero()) {
    var size = Self.Size()           // get doodad canvas size
    Self.SetHitbox(0, 0, size, size) // the full square
  }

The built-in generic doodad scripts have made this change, so that your
simple doodad can have a custom hitbox defined easily using in-game
tools.

Other changes:

* New script: Generic Collectible Item. Selecting it will add a
  "quantity" tag to your doodad, to easily configure the script.
* JavaScript API: "Self.Hitbox()" returns your doodad's current hitbox.
  You can check "Self.Hitbox.IsZero()" to check if it's empty.
2021-09-03 20:39:44 -07:00
7ea86b4ffc Generic Doodad Script Selection
In the Doodad Properties window, instead of browsing to select a .js
file to install your script, a SelectBox of built-in generic scripts are
available. These scripts implement simple behaviors and adapt to the
full canvas size of the doodad.

Built-in scripts so far include:

* generic-anvil.js: behaves just like the Anvil.
* generic-fire.js: the entire canvas hitbox acts like fire pixels,
  "burning" mobile doodads and failing the level for the player.
* generic-solid.js: the entire canvas hitbox acts solid

fbeeb207a8 Embed: Normalize path separator for Windows
* Windows was asking for files like "assets\doodads\" and the embedded
  files used Unix-like paths so no assets could be loaded!
2021-07-19 22:15:40 -07:00
d4e6d9babb Loading Screen
* pkg/loadscreen implements a global Loading Screen for loading heavy
  levels for playing or editing.
* All chunks in a level are pre-rendered to bitmap before gameplay
  begins, which reduces stutter as chunks were being lazily rendered on
  first appearance before.
* The loading screen can be played with in the developer console:
  $ loadscreen.Show()
  $ loadscreen.Hide()
  Along with ShowWithProgress(), SetProgress(float64) and IsActive()
* Chunker: separate the concerns between Bitmaps an (SDL2) Textures.
* Chunker.Prerender() converts a chunk to a bitmap (a Go image.Image)
  and caches it, only re-rendering if marked as dirty.
* Chunker.Texture() will use the pre-cached bitmap if available to
  immediately produce the SDL2 texture.

Other miscellaneous changes:

* Added to the Colored Pencil palette: Sandstone
* Added "perlin noise" brush pattern

Note: this commit introduces instability and crashes:

* New `asyncSetup()` functions run on a goroutine, but SDL2 texture
  calls must run on the main thread.
* Chunker avoids this by caching bitmaps, not textures.
* Wallpaper though is unstable, sometimes works, sometimes has graphical
  glitches, sometimes crashes the game.
* Wallpaper.Load() and the *Texture() functions are where it crashes.

3486050702 Go 1.16 embed instead of go-bindata
* Migrate off go-bindata to embed built-in fonts, levels and doodads in
  favor of Go 1.16 native embed functionality.
* `make bindata` prints a deprecation warning to not break older build
  scripts
* Removes all references of bindata from the program

386e0b2b0c Brighten Patterns + Update Default Palettes
* The pattern textures for level palettes have been brightened and work
  better with bright colors.
* The three default palettes for new levels now have patterns applied to
  each of their colors.
* Bugfix around resetting keybind states for Zoom In/Out, Scroll to
  Origin and Reset Zoom Level bindings.

eb24858830 Brush Pattern Textures
Palette swatches gain a new property: Pattern.

Patterns are grayscale textures that the swatch color will sample
against when drawing pixels to the level, by taking the world coordinate
modulo a value inside the texture.

A few algorithms were tried (Screen, Overlay), this branch lands on one
that tries to cast the color from grayscale which comes out rather dark;
to get a patterned color to look black while still seeing the pattern,
the color needs to be as bright as #777 to get the effect.

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
2020-04-21 23:50:45 -07:00
0c6c77a423 Lemon-shaped Ellipse Tool (WIP)
* Add initial Ellipse Tool to the Editor Mode. Currently there's
  something wrong with the algorithm and the ellipses have a sort of
  'lemon shape' to them.
* Refactor the IterLine/IterLine2 functions to be more consistent.
  IterLine used to be the raw algorithm that took a bunch of coordinate
  numbers and IterLine2 took two render.Point's and was the main one
  used throughout the app. Now, IterLine takes the two Points and the
  raw algorithm function removed.
2019-07-14 14:18:44 -07:00
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.
2019-07-11 19:07:46 -07:00
12d34517e9 Add Tool Bar to Editor Mode
* Toolbar has icon buttons for the Pencil Tool, Line Tool, Rect Tool,
  Actor Tool and Link Tool.
* Remove the tab buttons from the top of the Palette window. The palette
  tab is now toggled between Swatches and Doodads by the tool selected
  on the tool bar, instead of the tab buttons setting the tool.
* Remove the "Link Doodads" button from the Doodad Palette. The Link
  Tool has its own dedicated toolbar button with the others.

bca848d534 Wallpapers and Bounded Levels
Implement the Wallpaper system into the levels and the concept of
Bounded and Unbounded levels.

The first wallpaper image is notepad.png which looks like standard ruled
notebook paper. On bounded levels, the top/left edges of the page look
as you would expect and the blue lines tile indefinitely in the positive
directions. On unbounded levels, you only get the repeating blue lines
but not the edge pieces.

A wallpaper is just a rectangular image file. The image is divided into
four equal quadrants to be the Corner, Top, Left and Repeat textures for
the wallpaper. The Repeat texture is ALWAYS used and fills all the empty
space behind the drawing. (Doodads draw with blank canvases as before
because only levels have wallpapers!)

Levels have four options of a "Page Type":
- Unbounded       (default, infinite space)
- NoNegativeSpace (has a top left edge but can grow infinitely)
- Bounded         (has a top left edge and bounded size)
- Bordered        (bounded with bordered texture; NOT IMPLEMENTED!)

The scrollable viewport of a Canvas will respect the wallpaper and page
type settings of a Level loaded into it. That is, if the level has a top
left edge (not Unbounded) you can NOT scroll to see negative coordinates
below (0,0) -- and if the level has a max dimension set, you can't
scroll to see pixels outside those dimensions.

The Canvas property NoLimitScroll=true will override the scroll locking
and let you see outside the bounds, for debugging.

- Default map settings for New Level are now:
  - Page Type: NoNegativeSpace
  - Wallpaper: notepad.png (default)
  - MaxWidth: 2550  (8.5" * 300 ppi)
  - MaxHeight: 3300 ( 11" * 300 ppi)
