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.
* 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.
* 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.
* 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.
* Events.OnCollide now receives a CollideEvent object, which makes
available the .Actor who collided and the .Overlap rect which is
zero-relative to the target actor. Doodad scripts can use the .Overlap
to see WHERE in their own box the other actor has intruded.
* Update the LockedDoor and ElectricDoor doodads to detect when the
player has entered their inner rect (since their doors are narrower
than their doodad size)
* Update the Button doodads to only press in when the player actually
touches them (because their sizes are shorter than their doodad
height)
* Update the Trapdoor to only trigger its animation when the board
along its top has been touched, not when the empty space below was
touched from the bottom.
* Events.OnLeave now implemented and fires when an actor who was
previously intersecting your doodad has left.
* The engine detects when an event JS callback returns false.
Eventually, the OnCollide can return false to signify the collision is
not accepted and the actor should be bumped away as if they hit solid
geometry.
* Add sync.WaitGroup to some parts of the level collision detection
function and Canvas.Loop() to speed up the frame rate by load
balancing some work in parallel across multiple cores.
* Improves FPS from 30 to 55+ even for busy scenes with lots of mobile
enemies walking around.
* Before the level collision optimization, framerate would sometimes dip
to 30 FPS simply to move the player character on a completely blank
map!
* Move all collision code into the pkg/collision package.
* pkg/doodads/collision.go -> pkg/collision/collide_level.go
* pkg/doodads/collide_actors.go for new Actor collide support
* Add initial collision detection code between actors in Play Mode.
