* Switch from otto to goja for JavaScript engine.
* goja supports many ES6 syntax features like arrow functions,
const/let, for-of with more coming soon.
* Same great features as otto, more modern environment for doodads!
* New doodad: Invisible Warp Door
* All warp doors require the player to be grounded (if affected by
gravity) to open them. No jumping or falling thru and opening
a warp door mid-air!
* Title Screen now randomly selects from a couple of levels.
* Title Screen: if it fails to load a level it sets up a basic
blank level with a wallpaper instead.
* New developer shell command: titlescreen <level>
Opens the MainScene with a custom user level as the background.
* Add Auto-save to the Editor to save your drawing every 5 minutes
* Add a MenuBar to the Play Scene for easier navigation to other
features of the game.
* Doodad JS API: time.Since() now available.
* 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.
The Checkpoint Region acts as an invisible checkpoint flag, remembering
the player's location should they need to respawn there.
New cheat: `show all actors` during Play Mode will make every hidden
actor visible. Useful to see your technical doodads during gameplay!
Developer shell: `Execute(command string)` is available to the
JavaScript interpreter. It simulates another command being run on the
developer console.
New category for the Doodad Dropper: "Technical"
Technical doodads have a dashed outline and label for now, and they
turn invisible on level start, and are for hidden technical effects on
your level.
The doodads include:
* Goal Region: acts like an invisible Exit Flag (128x128), the level is
won when the player character touches this region.
* Fire Region: acts like a death barrier (128x128), kills the player
when a generic "You have died!" message.
* Power Source: on level start, acts like a switch and emits a
power(true) signal to all linked doodads. Link it to your Electric
Door for it to be open by default in your level!
* Stall Player (250ms): The player is paused for a moment the first time
it touches this region. Useful to work around timing issues, e.g.
help prevent the player from winning a race against another character.
There are some UI improvements to the Doodad Dropper window:
* If the first page of doodads is short, extra spacers are added so the
alignment and size shows correctly.
* Added a 'background pattern' to the window: any unoccupied icon space
has an inset rectangle slot.
* "Last pages" which are short still render weirdly without reserving
the correct height in the TabFrame.
Doodad scripting engine updates:
* Self.Hide() and Self.Show() available.
* Subscribe to "broadcast:ready" to know when the level is ready, so you
can safely Publish messages without deadlocks!
