Add the JSON format for embedding Actors (Doodad instances) inside of a
Level. I made a test map that manually inserted a couple of actors.
Actors are given to the Canvas responsible for the Level via the
function `InstallActors()`. So it means you'll call LoadLevel and then
InstallActors to hook everything up.
The Canvas creates sub-Canvas widgets from each Actor.
After drawing the main level geometry from the Canvas.Chunker, it calls
the drawActors() function which does the same but for Actors.
Levels keep a global map of all Actors that exist. For any Actors that
are visible within the Viewport, their sub-Canvas widgets are presented
appropriately on top of the parent Canvas. In case their sub-Canvas
overlaps the parent's boundaries, their sub-Canvas is resized and moved
appropriately.
- Allow the MainWindow to be resized at run time, and the UI
recalculates its sizing and position.
- Made the in-game Shell properties editable via environment variables.
The kirsle.env file sets a blue and pink color scheme.
- Begin the ground work for Levels and Doodads to embed files inside
their data via the level.FileSystem type.
- UI: Labels can now contain line break characters. It will
appropriately render multiple lines of render.Text and take into
account the proper BoxSize to contain them all.
- Add environment variable DOODLE_DEBUG_ALL=true that will turn on ALL
debug overlay and visualization options.
- Add debug overlay to "tag" each Canvas widget with some of its
details, like its Name and World Position. Can be enabled with the
environment variable DEBUG_CANVAS_LABEL=true
- Improved the FPS debug overlay to show in labeled columns and multiple
colors, with easy ability to add new data points to it.
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.
