Noah 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.

Noah 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.

Noah 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.

Noah cb02feff1d Add Switches, Fire/Water Collision and Play Menu
* New doodads: Switches.
  * They come in four varieties: wall switch (background element, with
    "ON/OFF" text) and three side-profile switches for the floor, left
    or right walls.
  * On collision with the player, they flip their state from "OFF" to
    "ON" or vice versa. If the player walks away and then collides
    again, the switch flips again.
  * Can be used to open/close Electric Doors when turned on/off. Their
    default state is "off"
  * If a switch receives a power signal from another linked switch, it
    sets its own state to match. So, two "on/off" switches that are
    connected to a door AND to each other will both flip on/off when one
    of them flips.
* Update the Level Collision logic to support Decoration, Fire and Water
  pixel collisions.
  * Previously, ALL pixels in the level were acting as though solid.
  * Non-solid pixels don't count for collision detection, but their
    attributes (fire and water) are collected and returned.
* Updated the MenuScene to support loading a map file in Play Mode
  instead of Edit Mode. Updated the title screen menu to add a button
  for playing levels instead of editing them.
* Wrote some documentation.

Noah dc2695cfc9 Add More Trapdoor Doodads
* Add the other trapdoor directions: Left, Right and Up.
* UI: Show a color square in each Palette Swatch button in Edit Mode.
  * Instead of just the label like "solid", "fire", "decoration" it also
    shows a square box colored as the swatch color. The label and box
    are left-aligned in the button.
* Minor Play Mode physics update:
  * The player jump is now limited: they may only continue to move
    upwards for 20 ticks, after which they must touch ground before
    jumping again.
  * Remove the "press Down to move down" button. Only gravity moves you
    down.
* Fix a crash in the Editor Mode when you dragged doodads on top of each
  other. Source of bug was the loopActorCollision() function, which only
  should be useful to Play Mode, and it expected the scripting engine to
  be attached to the Canvas. In EditorMode there is no scripting engine.

Noah 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.

Noah 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.
