* 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.
Added a new level property: Difficulty
* An enum ranging from -1, 0, 1 (Peaceful, Normal, Hard)
* Default difficulty is Normal; pre-existing levels are Normal by
default per the zero value.
Doodad scripts can read the difficulty via the new global variable
`Level.Difficulty` and some doodads have been updated:
* Azulians: on Peaceful they ignore all player characters, and on Hard
they are in "hunt mode": infinite aggro radius and they're aggressive
to all characters.
* Bird: on Peaceful they will not dive and attack any player character.
Other spit and polish:
* New Level/Level Properties UI reworked into a magicform.
* New "PromptPre(question, answer, func)" function for prompting the
user with the developer shell, but pre-filling in an answer for them
to either post or edit.
* magicform has a PromptUser field option for simple Text/Int fields
which present as buttons, so magicform can prompt and update the
variable itself.
* Don't show the _autosave.doodad in the Doodad Dropper window.
UI improvements specifically for mobile (running the game with the
`-w mobile` or `-w landscape` options) screen sizes.
* Rework the Settings window to be mobile friendly to landscape
oriented screens (`doodle -w landscape`) and migrate Options tab
to magicform.
* The toolbar in the Editor will be a single column of buttons
on small screens, such as `-w mobile` (375x812) portrait mode
smartphone. On larger screens the toolbar shows in two columns
of buttons.
* Fix tooltips not drawing on top.
* Centralize the hard-coded references to specific font filenames
* Add cheat code: `test load screen` to bring a sample loading screen up
for a few seconds. It needs improvement on `-w landscape`
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.
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.
* magicform is a helper package that may eventually be part of the go/ui
library, for easily creating structured form layouts.
* The Level Publisher UI is the first to utilize magicform.
Refactor how level publishing works:
* Level data now stores SaveDoodads and SaveBuiltins (bools) and when
the level editor saves the file, it will attach custom and/or builtin
doodads just before save.
* Move the menu item from the File menu to Level->Publish
* The Publisher UI just shows the checkboxes to toggle the level
settings and a convenient Save button along with descriptive text.
* Free versions get the "Register" window popping up if they click the
Save Now button from within the publisher window.
Note: free versions can still toggle the booleans on/off but their game
will not attach any new doodads on save.
* Free games which open a level w/ embedded doodads will get a pop-up
warning that the doodads aren't available.
* If they DON'T turn off the SaveDoodads option, they can still edit and
save the level and keep the existing doodads attached.
* If they UNCHECK the option and save, all attached doodads are removed
from the level.
