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

08e65c32b5 Overhaul the Platformer Physics System
* Player character now experiences acceleration and friction when
  walking around the map!
* Actor position and movement had to be converted from int's
  (render.Point) to float64's to support fine-grained acceleration
  steps.
* Added "physics" package and physics.Vector to be a float64 counterpart
  for render.Point. Vector is used for uix.Actor.Position() for the sake
  of movement math. Vector is flattened back to a render.Point for
  collision purposes, since the levels and hitboxes are pixel-bound.
* Refactor the uix.Actor to no longer extend the doodads.Drawing (so it
  can have a Position that's a Vector instead of a Point). This broke
  some code that expected `.Doodad` to directly reference the
  Drawing.Doodad: now you had to refer to it as `a.Drawing.Doodad` which
  was ugly. Added convenience method .Doodad() for a shortcut.
* Moved functions like GetBoundingRect() from doodads package to
  collision, where it uses its own slimmer Actor interface for just the
  relevant methods it needs.

8965a7d86a Doodads: Crumbly Floor, Start Flag & State Blocks
Add new doodads:

* Start Flag: place this in a level to set the spawn point of the player
  character. If no flag is found, the player spawns at 0,0 in the top
  corner of the map. Only use one Start Flag per level, otherwise the
  player will randomly spawn at one of them.
* Crumbly Floor: a solid floor that begins to shake and then fall apart
  after a moment when a mobile character steps on it. The floor respawns
  after 5 seconds.
* State Blocks: blue and orange blocks that toggle between solid and
  pass-thru whenever a State Button is activated.
* State Button: a solid "ON/OFF" block that toggles State Blocks back
  and forth when touched. Only activates if touched on the side or bottom;
  acts as a solid floor when walked on from the top.

New features for doodad scripts:

* Actor scripts: call SetMobile(true) to mark an actor as a mobile mob
  (i.e. player character or enemy). Other doodads can check if the actor
  colliding with them IsMobile so they don't activate if placed too close
  to other (non-mobile) doodads in a level. The Blue and Red Azulians
  are the only mobile characters so far.
* Message.Broadcast allows sending a pub/sub message out to ALL doodads
  in the level, instead of only to linked doodads as Message.Publish does.
  This is used for the State Blocks to globally communicate on/off status
  without needing to link them all together manually.

6af60f1128 Improve Collision Detection: More Active w/ Actors
* Improve the collision detection algorithm so that Actor OnCollide
  scripts get called more often WHILE an actor is moving, to prevent a
  fast-moving actor from zipping right through the "solid" hitbox and
  not giving the subject actor time to protest the movement.
* It's implemented by adding a `Settled` boolean to the OnCollide event
  object. When the game is testing out movement, Settled=false to give
  the actor a chance to say "I'm solid!" and have the moving party be
  stopped early.
* After all this is done, for any pair of actors still with overlapping
  hitboxes, OnCollide is called one last time with Settled=true. This is
  when the actor should run its actions (like publishing messages to
  other actors, changing state as in a trapdoor, etc.)
* The new collision detection algorithm works as follows:
  * Stage 1 is the same as before, all mobile actors are moved and
    tested against level geometry. They record their Original and New
    position during this phase.
  * Stage 2 is where we re-run that movement but ping actors being
    intersected each step of the way. We trace the steps between
    Original and New position, test OnCollide handler, and if it returns
    false we move the mobile actor to the Last Good Position along the
    trace.
  * Stage 3 we run the final OnCollide(Settled=true) to let actors run
    actions they wanted to for their collide handler, WITHOUT spamming
    those actions during Stage 2.
* This should now allow for tweaking of gravity speed and player speed
  without breaking all actor collision checking.

154fc6c9cb Update Doodad build-scripts to tag extra data
* The Blue Azulian marks its doodad file as Hidden.
* All Doodads are write locked after generation and tagged with common
  author value.

ba6892aa95 WASM Texture Caching
* Refactor texture caching in render.Engine:
  * New interface method: NewTexture(filename string, image.Image)
  * WASM immediately encodes the image to PNG and generates a JavaScript
    `Image()` object to load it with a data URI and keep it in memory.
  * SDL2 saves the bitmap to disk as it did before.
  * WASM: deprecate the sessionStorage for holding image data. Session
    storage methods panic if called. The image data is directly kept in
    Go memory as a js.Value holding an Image().
* Shared Memory workaround: the level.Chunk.ToBitmap() function is where
  chunk textures get cached, but it had no access to the render.Engine
  used in the game. The `pkg/shmem` package holds global pointers to
  common structures like the CurrentRenderEngine as a work-around.
  * Also shmem.Flash() so Doodle can make its d.Flash() function
    globally available, any sub-package can now flash text to the screen
    regardless of source code location.
  * JavaScript API for Doodads now has a global Flash() function
    available.
* WASM: Handle window resize so Doodle can recompute its dimensions
  instead of scaling/shrinking the view.

99eab19c5b Pub/Sub Messages Between Linked Actors (JavaScript)
* Implement the pub/sub message passing system that lets the JavaScript
  VM of one actor (say, a Button) send messages to other linked actors
  in the level (say, an Electric Door)
* Buttons now emit a "power(true)" message while pressed and
  "power(false)" when released. Sticky Buttons do not release and so do
  not send the power(false) message.
* Electric Doors listen for the "power" event and open or close
  themselves based on the boolean value received.
* If a Sticky Button receives power and is currently pressed down, it
  will pop back up (reset to "off" position) and notify its linked
  actors that they have lost power too. So if a Sticky Button held an
  Electric Door open, and another Button powers the Sticky Button, it
  would pop back up and also close the Electric Door.

1523deeb9c Return False: Solid Collision Between Actors
* Implement the handler code for `return false` when actors are
  colliding with each other and wish to act like solid walls.
* The locked doors will `return false` when they're closed and the
  colliding actor does not have the matching key.
* Add arbitrary key/value storage to Actors. The colored keys will set
  an actor value "key:%TITLE%" on the one who touched the key before
  destroying itself. The colored doors check that key when touched to
  decide whether to open.
* The trapdoor now only opens if you're touching it from the top (your
  overlap box Y value is 0), but if you touch it from below and the door
  is closed, it acts like a solid object.

d28745f89e Mobile Enemy Doodad Test
* Add a Red Azulian as a test for mobile enemies.
  * Its A.I. has it walk back and forth, changing directions when it
    comes up against an obstacle for a few moments.
  * It plays walking animations and can trigger collision events with
    other Doodads, such as the Electric Door and Trapdoor.
* Move Gravity responsibility to the doodad scripts themselves.
  * Call `Self.SetGravity(true)` to opt the Doodad in to gravity.
  * The canvas.Loop() adds gravity to any doodad that has it enabled.

f76ba6fbb7 WIP: MsgPack stubs, Level Filesystem Module
* 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.
