* New doodad: Invisible Warp Door
* All warp doors require the player to be grounded (if affected by
  gravity) to open them. No jumping or falling thru and opening
  a warp door mid-air!
* Title Screen now randomly selects from a couple of levels.
* Title Screen: if it fails to load a level it sets up a basic
  blank level with a wallpaper instead.
* New developer shell command: titlescreen <level>
  Opens the MainScene with a custom user level as the background.
* Add Auto-save to the Editor to save your drawing every 5 minutes
* Add a MenuBar to the Play Scene for easier navigation to other
  features of the game.
* Doodad JS API: time.Since() now available.

fb5a8a1ae8 Async Giant Screenshot, Player Physics and UI Polish
* The "Giant Screenshot" feature takes a very long time, so it is made
  asynchronous. If you try and run a second one while the first is busy,
  you get an error flash. You can continue editing the level, even
  playtest it, or load a different level, and it will continue crunching
  on the Giant Screenshot and flash when it's finished.
* Updated the player physics to use proper Velocity to jump off the
  ground rather than the hacky timer-based fixed speed approach.
* FlashError() function to flash "error level" messages to the screen.
  They appear in orange text instead of the usual blue, and most error
  messages in the game use this now. The dev console "error <msg>"
  command can simulate an error message.
* Flashed message fonts are updated. The blue font now uses softer
  stroke and shadow colors and the same algorithm applies to the orange
  error flashes.

Some other changes to player physics:

* Max velocity, acceleration speed, and gravity have been tweaked.
* Fast turn-around if you are moving right and then need to go left.
  Your velocity resets to zero at the transition so you quickly get
  going the way you want to go.

Some levels that need a bit of love for the new platforming physics:

* Tutorial 3.level

3486050702 Go 1.16 embed instead of go-bindata
* Migrate off go-bindata to embed built-in fonts, levels and doodads in
  favor of Go 1.16 native embed functionality.
* `make bindata` prints a deprecation warning to not break older build
  scripts
* Removes all references of bindata from the program

864156da53 Settings Window + Bugfix
* 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.

d9bca2152a WIP Publish Dialog + UI Improvements
* 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.

8eb3ab51d3 Fixup some developer console commands 2020-11-20 22:53:38 -08:00
336a949ed0 Global UI Popup Modals
* Adds global modal support in the pkg/modal/ package. It has easy
  Alert() and Confirm() methods to prompt the user before calling a
  callback function on affirmative response.
* Modals have global app state: they're processed in the main loop in
  pkg/doodle.go similar to the global command shell.
* When a modal is active, a semitransparent black frame covers the
  screen (gameplay loop paused, last game frame rendered below) and the
  modal window appears on top.
* The developer console retains higher priority than the modal system
  and always renders on top.
* Editor Mode: track when the level pixels have been modified, and
  confirm the user about unsaved changes when they attempt to close the
  level (New, Open, Close, etc.)
* Global: the Escape key no longer immediately shuts down the game, but
  will confirm the user's intent via a modal.
* File->Quit in the Editor Mode also invokes the confirm shutdown modal.

f0101ba048 The Window Manager Update
* 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

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.

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.

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.

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.

  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.
