* The Publisher is all hooked up. No native Save File dialogs yet, so
uses the dev shell Prompt() to ask for output filename.
* Custom-only or builtin doodads too can be stored in the level's file
data, at "assets/doodads/*.doodad"
* When loading the embedded level in the Editor: it gets its custom
doodads out of its file, and you can drag and drop them elsehwere,
link them, Play Mode can use them, etc. but they won't appear in the
Doodad Dropper if they are not installed in your local doodads
directory.
* Fleshed out serialization API for the Doodad files:
- LoadFromEmbeddable() looks to load a doodad from embeddable file
data in addition to the usual places.
- Serialize() returns the doodad in bytes, for easy access to embed
into level data.
- Deserialize() to parse and return from bytes.
* When loading a level that references doodads not found in its embedded
data or the filesystem: an Alert modal appears listing the missing
doodads. The rest of the level loads fine, but the actors referenced
by these doodads don't load.
* You can now browse for a custom wallpaper image to use with your
levels. A platform-native file picker dialog is used (no WASM support)
* In the New/Edit Level Properties dialog, the Wallpaper drop-down
includes an option to browse for a custom map.
* When editing an existing level: the wallpaper takes effect immediately
in your level once the file is picked. For NEW levels, the wallpaper
will appear once the "Continue" button is pressed.
* All common image types supported: png, jpeg, gif.
* The wallpaper is embedded in the level using the filepath
"assets/wallpapers/custom.b64img" as a Base64-encoded blob of the
image data.
* The `doodad show` command will list the names and sizes of files
embedded in levels. `doodad show --attachment <name>` will get an
attachment and print it to the console window.
* To extract a wallpaper image from a level:
`doodad show -a assets/wallpapers/custom.b64img | base64 -d > out.png`
* Added initial walking sprites for the player character, "Boy."
* Player doodad filename and title screen level are now configurable in
the balance/numbers.go package.
There was a clipping bug where the player could sometimes clip thru a
left-side wall, if the left wall and floor made a 90 degree bend and the
player was holding the Left key while jumping slightly into the wall.
A band-aid that seems to work involved two steps:
1. When capping their leftward movement, add a "+ 1" to the cap.
2. At the start of the point loop, enforce the left cap like we do the
ceiling cap.
This seems to patch the problem, BUT it breaks the ability to walk up
slopes while moving left. Right-facing slopes can be climbed fine still.
Note: the original bug never was a problem against right walls, only
left ones, but the true root cause was not identified. See TODO comments
in collide_level.go.
* 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.
* Revamped the sprites for the four colored locked doors. They now have
a side-view profile perspective rather than a front view.
* Doors open facing the left or the right based on what direction the
colliding actor approached it from.
* Fix the level collision bug that allowed clipping thru a ceiling while
climbing up a wall.
* Fix the scrolling behavior to keep the character on-screen no matter
how fast the character is moving, especially downwards.
* Increase player speed and gravity.
* New cheat: "ghost mode" disables clipping for the player character.
* Mark an actor as "grounded" if they fall and are stopped by the lower
level border, so they may jump again.
* Implement Brush Sizes for drawtool.Stroke and add a UI to the tools panel
to control the brush size.
* Brush sizes: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 24, 32, 48, 64
* Add the Eraser Tool to editor mode. It uses a default brush size of 16
and a max size of 32 due to some performance issues.
* The Undo/Redo system now remembers the original color of pixels when
you change them, so that Undo will set them back how they were instead
of deleting the pixel entirely. Due to performance issues, this only
happens when your Brush Size is 0 (drawing single-pixel shapes).
* UI: Add an IntVariable option to ui.Label to bind showing the value of
an int reference.
Aforementioned performance issues:
* When we try to remember whole rects of pixels for drawing thick
shapes, it requires a ton of scanning for each step of the shape. Even
de-duplicating pixel checks, tons of extra reads are constantly
checked.
* The Eraser is the only tool that absolutely needs to be able to
remember wiped pixels AND have large brush sizes. The performance
sucks and lags a bit if you erase a lot all at once, but it's a
trade-off for now.
* So pixels aren't remembered when drawing lines in your level with
thick brushes, so the Undo action will simply delete your pixels and not
reset them. Only the Eraser can bring back pixels.
* Add new pkg/drawtool with utilities to abstract away drawing actions
into Strokes and track undo/redo History for them.
* The freehand Pencil tool in EditorMode has been refactored to create a
Stroke of Shape=Freehand and queue up its world pixels there instead
of directly modifying the level chunker in real time. When the mouse
button is released, the freehand Stroke is committed to the level
chunker and added to the UndoHistory.
* UndoHistory is (temporarily) stored with the level.Level so it can
survive trips to PlayScene and back, but is not stored as JSON on
disk.
* Ctrl-Z and Ctrl-Y in EditorMode for undo and redo, respectively.
Fixes:
* Move the call to CollidesWithGrid() inside the Canvas instead of
outside in the PlayScene.movePlayer() so it can apply to all Actors
in motion.
* PlayScene.movePlayer() in turn just sets the player's Velocity so the
Canvas.Loop() can move the actor itself.
* When keeping the player inside the level boundaries: previously it was
assuming the player Position was relative to the window, and was
checking the WorldIndexAt and getting wrong results.
* Canvas scrolling (loopFollowActor): check that the actor is getting
close to the screen edge using the Viewport into the world, NOT the
screen-relative coordinates of the Canvas bounding boxes.
* Scenes can insert custom key/value labels to the debug overlay and
track string variables in real time
* Added ability to unthrottle FPS in main loop
