* Added a Settings window for game options, such as enabling the
horizontal toolbars in Edit Mode. The Settings window also has a
Controls tab showing the gameplay buttons and keyboard shortcuts.
* The Settings window is available as a button on the home screen OR
from the Edit->Settings menu in the EditScene.
* Bugfix: using WASD to move the player character now works better and
is considered by the game to be identical to the arrow key inputs. Boy
now updates his animation based on these keys, and they register as
boolean on/off keys instead of affected by key-repeat.
* Refactor the boolProps: they are all part of usercfg now, and if you
run e.g. "boolProp show-all-doodads true" and then cause the user
settings to save to disk, that boolProp will be permanently enabled
until turned off again.
* Free (shareware) versions of the game will not be able to Publish
Levels (attach custom doodads to the level file) and they will not be
able to load a level which relies on embedded doodads.
* The UI for the Publish Level window is still available, but clicking
on the confirm button will just open the Register (License) window.
* When loading a level containing embedded doodads: if some can't load
because they're embedded and you're using the free version of the
game, the error message is customized to reflect that.
* New command-line tool: doodle-admin for signing license keys for
users. Includes functions to initialize a keypair, sign license keys
and validate existing keys.
* The Main Menu screen shows a blue "Register Game" button in the bottom
right corner of the screen, for unregistered users only.
* In Edit Mode, there is a "Help -> Register" menu item that opens the
License Window.
* The License UI Window lets the user select the license.key file to
register the game with. If registered, a copy of the key is placed in
Doodle's profile directory and the licensee name/email is shown in the
License UI window.
* Unregistered games will show the word "(shareware)" next to the title
screen version number and Edit Mode status bar.
* No restrictions are yet placed on free versions of the game.
In the Level Editor, the "Level->Attached files" menu opens the
FileSystem Window, which shows a paginated list of attached files and a
"Delete" button to remove them.
- Custom doodads which also exist locally can be deleted from the
level's filesystem at any time.
- If a custom doodad does NOT exist locally, and one of them is still
placed somewhere within the level, you can not delete it.
- You can't delete the custom wallpaper image IF the level is still
using it. Change to a default wallpaper and then you can delete the
custom wallpaper image.
* 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.
* File->Publish Level in the Level Editor opens the Publish window,
where you can embed custom doodads into your level and export a
portable .level file you can share with others.
* Currently does not actually export a level file yet.
* The dialog lists all unique doodad names in use in your level, and
designates which are built-ins and which are custom (paginated).
* A checkbox would let the user embed built-in doodads into their level,
as well, locking it in to those versions and not using updated
versions from future game releases.
UI Improvements:
* Added styling for a "Primary" UI button, rendered in deep blue.
* Pop-up modals (Alert, Confirm) color their Ok button as Primary.
* The Enter key pressed during an Alert or Confirm modal will invoke its
default button and close the modal, corresponding to its Primary
button.
* The developer console is now opened with the tilde/grave key ` instead
of the Enter key, so that the Enter key is free to click through
modals.
* In the "Open/Edit Drawing" window, a "Browse..." button is added to
the level and doodad sections, spawning a native File Open dialog to
pick a .level or .doodad outside the config root.
Palette swatches gain a new property: Pattern.
Patterns are grayscale textures that the swatch color will sample
against when drawing pixels to the level, by taking the world coordinate
modulo a value inside the texture.
A few algorithms were tried (Screen, Overlay), this branch lands on one
that tries to cast the color from grayscale which comes out rather dark;
to get a patterned color to look black while still seeing the pattern,
the color needs to be as bright as #777 to get the effect.
* 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`
* Replace the radio buttons for Page Type and Wallpaper with the new
SelectBox widgets from the UI toolkit.
* Choice of default palette also switched from a MenuButton to
a SelectBox widget.
* Experimental "Browse..." option added to the Wallpaper drop-down when
run in --experimental mode; not yet functional.
* In the "New Level" dialog, a "Palette:" option shows a MenuButton
drop-down with options: Default, Colored Pencil, and Blueprint. These
control the set of colors the new level starts with.
New doodad interactions:
* Sticky Buttons will emit a "sticky:down" event to linked doodads, with
a boolean value showing the Sticky Button's state.
* Normal Buttons will listen for "sticky:down" -- when a linked Sticky
Button is pressed, the normal Button presses in as well, and stays
pressed while the sticky:down signal is true.
* When the Sticky Button is released (e.g. because it received power
from another doodad), any linked buttons which were sticky:down
release as well.
* Switch doodads emit a new "switch:toggle" event JUST BEFORE sending
the "power" event. Sensitive Doodads can listen for switches in
particular this way.
* The Electric Door listens for switch:toggle; if a Switch is activated,
the Electric Door always flips its current state (open to close, or
vice versa) and ignores the immediately following power event. This
allows doors to toggle on/off regardless of sync with a Switch.
Other changes:
* When the player character dies by fire, instead of the message saying
"Watch out for fire!" it will use the name of the fire swatch that
hurt the player. This way levels could make it say "Watch out for
spikes!" or "lava" or whatever they want. The "Fire" attribute now
just means "instantly kills the player."
* Level Editor: You can now edit the Title and Author name of your level
in the Page Settings window.
* Bugfix: only the player character ends the game by dying in fire.
Other mobile doodads just turn dark but don't end the game.
* Increase the size of Trapdoor doodad sprites by 150% as they were a
bit small for the player character.
* Rename the game from "Project: Doodle" to "Sketchy Maze"
* The "Use Key" (Q or Spacebar) now activates the Warp Door instead of a
collision event doing so.
* Warp Doors are now functional: the player opens a door, disappears,
the door closes; player is teleported to the linked door which opens,
appears the player and closes.
* If the player exits thru a Blue or Orange door which is disabled
(dotted outline), the door still opens and drops the player off but
returns to a Disabled state, acting as a one-way door.
* Clean up several debug log lines from Doodle and doodad scripts.
* When editing a doodad in the Editor Mode, the toolbar has a "Lyr."
button that opens the Layers window.
* The Layers window allows switching the active doodad layer that you
are drawing on, as well as create and rename layers.
* With this feature, Doodads may be fully drawn in-game, including
adding alternate named layers for animations and multiple-state
doodads.
* Update the Pager component to have a configurable MaxPageButtons.
Controls that have more pages than this limit will stop having buttons
drawn after the limit. The "Forward" and "Next" buttons can still
navigate into the extra pages.
* Refactored and centralized the various popup windows in Editor Mode
into editor_ui_popups.go; the SetupPopups() and various methods such
as ShowPaletteWindow() and ShowDoodadDropper() make management of
popups simple for the editor_ui!
* The Menu Bar in Editor Mode now has context-specific tools in the
Tools menu: the Doodad Dropper for levels and Layers for doodads.
* Bugfix the Palette Editor window to work equally between Levels and
Doodads, by only having it care about the Palette and not the Level
that owns it.
* Add sound effect and music support to Doodle.
* Fix WASM build to use the 'null' sound driver for now.
* Add a Settings button to the main menu; UI for it is WIP.
* Start the program window maximized with the `-w maximized` CLI option.
* Move the Doodad Palette off the right-side dock of the Editor Scene and
into its own pop-up window: the DoodadDropper.
* Shrink the width of the Color Palette panel and show only the colors in
the buttons. The name of the swatch is available in the mouse-over tooltip.
* Added an "Edit" button to the Color Palette. It opens a Palette Editor
window where you can rename, change colors and attributes of existing colors
OR insert new colors into your palette. (Deleting colors not yet supported).
* level.Chunker gets a Redraw method: invalidates all cached textures of all
chunks forcing the level to redraw itself, possibly with an updated palette.
* Integrate the new ui.MenuBar into the Editor Scene.
* File: New Level/Doodad, Save [as], Open, Close, Exit
* Edit: Undo, Redo, Level options
* Level: Playtest
* Tools: Debug overlay, Command shell
* Help: User Manual, About
* Add an About dialog accessible from the Help menu.
* With the Window Manager update you can open the Level Settings window
while editing a level, to change its wallpaper or page type. But you
could "draw" in the level "through" the opened window. This bug is now
fixed: if the cursor is on top of a managed UI window, the Canvas loop
is not called.
* Take advantage of the new Window Manager feature of the UI toolkit.
* Move the MenuScene's "New Level" and "Play/Edit Level" windows into
stand-alone functions in new pkg/windows/ package. The 'windows'
package is isolated from the rest of Doodle and communicates using
config variables and callback functions to avoid circular dependency.
* MenuScene calls the window constructors from the new package.
* Add an "Options" button to the Menu Bar in the Editor Scene, which
opens the "New Level" window to allow changing the wallpaper or
bounding type of the level currently being edited.
* Move the cheat codes into their own file, cheats.go
