* 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.
* 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
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.
* If the current edit tool is Actor or Link, use the new drawtool.Stroke
object to draw visual lines connecting every pair of linked actors in
the level. The lines are hidden during normal editing and gameplay and
only appear when you're possibly manipulating your actors and links.
* Add a Level Exit doodad, which for now is a little blue flag on a pole
that reads "END"
* JavaScript API: global function EndLevel() will end the level. The
exit doodad calls this when touched by the player.
* Add a "Level Completed" alert box UI to PlayScene with dynamic button
layouts.
* The alert box pops up when a doodad calls EndLevel() and contains
action buttons what to do next.
* "Play Again" restarts the current level again.
* "Edit Level" if you came from the EditorScene; otherwise this button
is not visible.
* "Next Level" is a to-be-implemented button to advance in the single
player story mode. Only shows up when PlayScene.HasNext=true.
* "Exit to Menu" is always visible and closes out to the MainScene.
* Implement the pub/sub message passing system that lets the JavaScript
VM of one actor (say, a Button) send messages to other linked actors
in the level (say, an Electric Door)
* Buttons now emit a "power(true)" message while pressed and
"power(false)" when released. Sticky Buttons do not release and so do
not send the power(false) message.
* Electric Doors listen for the "power" event and open or close
themselves based on the boolean value received.
* If a Sticky Button receives power and is currently pressed down, it
will pop back up (reset to "off" position) and notify its linked
actors that they have lost power too. So if a Sticky Button held an
Electric Door open, and another Button powers the Sticky Button, it
would pop back up and also close the Electric Door.
* CLI: fix the `doodad convert` command to share the same Palette when
converting each frame (layer) of a doodad so subsequent layers find
the correct color swatches for serialization.
* Scripting: add timers and intervals to Doodad scripts to allow them to
animate themselves or add delayed callbacks. The timers have the same
API as a web browser: setTimeout(), setInterval(), clearTimeout(),
clearInterval().
* Add support for uix.Actor to change its currently rendered layer in
the level. For example a Button Doodad can set its image to Layer 1
(pressed) when touched by the player, and Trapdoors can cycle through
their layers to animate opening and closing.
* Usage from a Doodad script: Self.ShowLayer(1)
* Default Doodads: added scripts for all Buttons, Doors, Keys and the
Trapdoor to run their various animations when touched (in the case of
Keys, destroy themselves when touched, because there is no player
inventory yet)
* 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.
