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

695ff4da42 Collision: Fix clipping thru left walls, w/ caveats
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.

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.

3cb99ad5f8 New (Colored) Locked Door Doodads
* 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.

f8ca9a0921 Tooltips Update
* Update code for recent changes in UI toolkit around event handlers for
  buttons.
* Add tooltips to various buttons in the Editor Mode. The left toolbar
  shows the names of each tool, the Doodad Palette shows the title of
  each doodad and the Color Palette shows the swatch attributes (solid,
  fire, water, etc.)

a43e45fad0 Level Collision and Scrolling Fixes
* 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.

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.

0c6c77a423 Lemon-shaped Ellipse Tool (WIP)
* Add initial Ellipse Tool to the Editor Mode. Currently there's
  something wrong with the algorithm and the ellipses have a sort of
  'lemon shape' to them.
* Refactor the IterLine/IterLine2 functions to be more consistent.
  IterLine used to be the raw algorithm that took a bunch of coordinate
  numbers and IterLine2 took two render.Point's and was the main one
  used throughout the app. Now, IterLine takes the two Points and the
  raw algorithm function removed.

cc1e441232 Eraser Tool, Brush Sizes
* 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.

fd649b7ab1 Doodad CLI Tool Features; Write Lock and Hidden
* The `doodad` CLI tool got a lot of new commands:
  * `doodad show` to verbosely print details about Levels and Doodads.
  * `edit-level` and `edit-doodad` to update details about Levels and
    Doodads, such as their Title, Author, page type and size, etc.
* Doodads gain a `Hidden bool` that hides them from the palette in
  Editor Mode. The player character (Blue Azulian) is Hidden.
* Add some boolProps to the balance/ package and made a dynamic system
  to easily configure these with the in-game dev console.
  * Command: `boolProp list` returns available balance.boolProps
  * `boolProp <name>` returns the current value.
  * `boolProp <name> <true or false>` sets the value.
* The new boolProps are:
  * showAllDoodads: enable Hidden doodads on the palette UI (NOTE:
    reload the editor to take effect)
  * writeLockOverride: edit files that are write locked anyway
  * prettyJSON: pretty-format the JSON files saved by the game.

a504658055 Centralized Tick Counter, Fix Actor Dragging Bug
* The game's tick counter was moved from Doodle.ticks to shmem.Tick
  where it is more easily available from every corner of the code.
* Fix a bug in the Level Editor where dragging an already-existing actor
  from one part of your map to another, would cause it to lose all its
  data (especially its UUID), breaking links to other doodads. Now the
  existing Actor catches a ride on the drag object to be reinserted
  later.
* Animate the Link Line visualizers between actors. They now animate a
  blinking color between magenta and grey-ish.

c8620f871e Drawing Strokes and Undo/Redo Functionality
* 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.

3d08291bc5 Demo Running Level as Title Screen Wallpaper
* Load SDL2 fonts from go-bindata storage so we don't have to ship
  external font files on disk.
* Dedupe names of doodads so we don't show double on the front-end
  (go-bindata bundled doodads + those on local filesystem)
* Use go-bindata for accessing wallpaper images.
* Better flashed messages walking you through the Link Tool.
* Stylize the title screen (MainScene) by rendering a live example level
  as the background wallpaper, with mobile doodads in motion.

c5c85330de WASM Event Queue
* Refactor the event system in the WASM render engine to serialize the
  async JavaScript events into a channel, so that queued events are read
  off serially in the main loop similar to SDL. This fixes keyboard
  input issues, altho if you type really fast some input keys get lost.

9efe16582c Add Play/Edit Buttons to Toggle Between Modes
* Instead of needing to press the "P" and "E" keys to toggle from edit
  mode to play mode (and back again), respectively, the UI now draws a
  "Play (P)" or "Edit (E)" button on the bottom right corner of the
  level canvas. Clicking it will toggle the mode.

3d3561b8e6 Blueprint Theme Palette
* Fix the EditorUI not showing the correct palette baked into the level
  and only showing the default. This was tricky because the palette UI
  can only be configured at setup time but not updated later.
* Add a new default palette for the Blueprint theme. Blueprint has a
  dark background, so the palette colors should be bright. This palette
  is chosen when you start a map with the blueprint wallpaper.
* Add a background Canvas to the MenuScene. In the "New Level" screen,
  the background canvas will update to show the wallpaper settings
  you've chosen as a preview of the level theme you're about to create.

4dd1bebc5f Add MenuScene with New Level UI
* Debug mode: no longer enables the DebugOverlay (F3) by default, but
  does now insert the current FPS counter into the window title bar.
* ui.Frame: set a default "mostly transparent" BG color so the frame
  background doesn't render as white.
* Add the MenuScene which will house the game's main menus.
* The "New Level" menu is first to be added.
  * UI lets you pick Page Type and Wallpaper using radio buttons.
  * Page Type: Unbounded, Bounded (default), No Negative Space, Bordered
  * Fix bugs in uix.Canvas to fully support all these page types.

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.

693664db6c Shareware Build Flags
* Build the app with -tags="shareware" to compile the free/shareware
  build of the game.
* `make build-free` compiles both binaries to the bin/ folder in
  shareware mode.
* The constant balance.FreeVersion is true in the shareware build and
  all functionality related to the Doodad Editor UI mode is disabled
  in this build mode.

1e80304061 Initial Doodad JavaScript System
* Add the JavaScript system for Doodads to run their scripts in levels,
  and wire initial OnCollide() handler support.
* CLI: Add a `doodad install-script` command to the doodad tool.
  * Usage: `doodad install-script <index.js> <filename.doodad>`
* Add dev-assets folder for storing source files for the official
  default doodads, sprites, levels, etc. and for now add a JavaScript
  for the first test doodad.

241186209c Play Mode: Fix Level Collision w/ Scrolling
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.
