5434484b6e Abstract Drawing Canvas into Reusable Widget
The `level.Canvas` is a widget that holds onto its Palette and Grid and
has interactions to allow scrolling and editing the grid using the
swatches available on the palette.

Thus all of the logic in the Editor Mode for drawing directly onto the
root SDL surface are now handled inside a level.Canvas instance.

The `level.Canvas` widget has the following properties:
* Like any widget it has an X,Y position and a width/height.
* It has a Scroll position to control which slice of its drawing will be
  visible inside its bounding box.
* It supports levels having negative coordinates for their pixels. It
  doesn't care. The default Scroll position is (0,0) at the top left
  corner of the widget but you can scroll into the negatives and see the
  negative pixels.
* Keyboard keys will scroll the viewport inside the canvas.
* The canvas draws only the pixels that are visible inside its bounding
  box.

This feature will eventually pave the way toward:
* Doodads being dropped on top of your map, each Doodad being its own
  Canvas widget.
* Using drawings as button icons for the user interface, as the Canvas
  is a normal widget.

5956863996 Menu Toolbar for Editor + Shell Prompts + Theme
* Added a "menu toolbar" to the top of the Edit Mode with useful buttons
  that work: New Level, New Doodad (same thing), Save, Save as, Open.
* Added ability for the dev console to prompt the user for a question,
  which opens the console automatically. "Save", "Save as" and "Load"
  ask for their filenames this way.
* Started groundwork for theming the app. The palette window is a light
  brown with an orange title bar, the Menu Toolbar has a black
  background, etc.
* Added support for multiple fonts instead of just monospace. DejaVu
  Sans (normal and bold) are used now for most labels and window titles,
  respectively. The dev console uses DejaVu Sans Mono as before.
* Update ui.Label to accept PadX and PadY separately instead of only
  having the Padding option which did both.
* Improvements to Frame packing algorithm.
* Set the SDL draw mode to BLEND so we can use alpha colors properly,
  so now the dev console is semi-translucent.

e1cbff8c3f Add Palette Window and Palette Support to Edit Mode
* Add ui.Window to easily create reusable windows with titles.
* Add a palette window (panel) to the right edge of the Edit Mode.
  * Has Radio Buttons listing the colors available in the palette.
* Add palette support to Edit Mode so when you draw pixels, they take
  on the color and attributes of the currently selected Swatch in your
  palette.
* Revise the on-disk format to better serialize the Palette object to
  JSON.
* Break Play Mode: collision detection fails because the Grid key
  elements are now full Pixel objects (which retain their Palette and
  Swatch properties).
  * The Grid will need to be re-worked to separate X,Y coordinates from
    the Pixel metadata to just test "is something there, and what is
    it?"

e141203c4b Basic Collision Detection, Toggle Between Play/Edit
Known bugs:
* The Pixel format in the Grid has DX and DY attributes and
  it wreaks havoc on collision detection in Play Mode when you
  come straight from the editor. Reloading the map from disk to
  play is OK cuz it lacks these attrs.

27fafdc96d Save and restore maps as JSON files
First pass at a level storage format to save and restore maps.

To save a map: press F12. It takes a screenshot PNG into the
screenshots/ folder and outputs a map JSON in the working directory.

To restore a map: "go run cmd/doodle/main.go map.json"
