c5353df211 LoadUnloadChunk for Memory Optimization
Instead of the loadscreen eager-loading ALL level chunks to Go Images, only
load the chunks within the "LoadingViewport" - which is the on-screen
Viewport plus a margin of chunks off the screen edges.

During gameplay, every few ticks, reevaluate which chunks are inside or
outside the LoadingViewport; for chunks outside, free their SDL2 textures
and free their cached bitmaps to keep overall memory usage down. The
AzulianTag-Forest level now stays under 200 Textures at any given time
and the loadscreen goes faster as it doesn't have to load every chunk's
images up front.

The LoadUnloadChunk feature can be turned on/off with feature flags. If
disabled the old behavior is restored: loadscreen loads all images and
the LoadUnloadChunks function is not run.

Other changes:

* loadscreen: do not free textures in the Hide() function as this runs on
  a different goroutine and may break. The 4 wallpaper textures are OK
  to keep in memory anyway, the loadscreen is reused often!
* Free more leaked textures: on the Inventory frame and when an actor
  calls Self.Destroy()
* Stop leaking goroutines in the PubSub feature of the doodad script
  engine; scripting.Supervisor.Teardown() sends a stop signal to all
  scripts to clean up neatly. Canvas.Destroy() tears down its scripting
  supervisor automatically.

d694fcc7c2 Fix climbing on the right bug + eager-render boolprop
* New boolProp to help debug memory issues: eager-render, set it to
  false and the loadscreen will not eagerload Go images for all the
  level chunks.
* Finally fix the level collision bug where the player could climb walls
  to the right.

af6b8625d6 Flood Tool, Survival Mode for Azulian Tag
New features:
* Flood Tool for the editor. It replaces pixels of one color with another,
  contiguously. Has limits on how far from the original pixel it will color,
  to avoid infinite loops in case the user clicked on wide open void. The
  limit when clicking an existing color is 1200px or only a 600px limit if
  clicking into the void.
* Cheat code: 'master key' to play locked Story Mode levels.

Level GameRules feature added:
* A new tab in the Level Properties dialog
* Difficulty has been moved to this tab
* Survival Mode: for silver high score, longest time alive is better than
  fastest time, for Azulian Tag maps. Gold high score is still based on
  fastest time - find the hidden level exit without dying!

Tweaks to the Azulians' jump heights:
* Blue Azulian:  12 -> 14
* Red Azulian:   14 -> 18
* White Azulian: 16 -> 20

Bugs fixed:
* When editing your Palette to rename a color or add a new color, it wasn't
  possible to draw with that color until the editor was completely unloaded
  and reloaded; this is now fixed.
* Minor bugfix in Difficulty.String() for Peaceful (-1) difficulty to avoid
  a negative array index.
* Try and prevent user giving the same name to multiple swatches on their
  palette. Replacing the whole palette can let duplication through still.

44122d4130 Spit and polish
UI improvements specifically for mobile (running the game with the
`-w mobile` or `-w landscape` options) screen sizes.

* Rework the Settings window to be mobile friendly to landscape
  oriented screens (`doodle -w landscape`) and migrate Options tab
  to magicform.
* The toolbar in the Editor will be a single column of buttons
  on small screens, such as `-w mobile` (375x812) portrait mode
  smartphone. On larger screens the toolbar shows in two columns
  of buttons.
* Fix tooltips not drawing on top.
* Centralize the hard-coded references to specific font filenames
* Add cheat code: `test load screen` to bring a sample loading screen up
  for a few seconds. It needs improvement on `-w landscape`

77297fd60d Text Tool and Pan Tool
Two new tools added to the Level Editor:

* Pan Tool: left-click to scroll the level around safely.
* Text Tool: write text onto your level.

Features of the Text Tool:

* Can choose from the game's built-in fonts, size and enter the message
  you want to write.
* The mouse cursor previews the text when hovered over the level.
* Click to "stamp" the text onto your level. The currently selected
  color swatch will be used to color the text in.
* Adds two new fonts: Azulian.ttf and Rive.ttf that can be selected in
  the Text Tool.

Some implementation notes:

* Added package native/engine_sdl.go that handles the lower-level
  SDL2_TTF logic to rasterize the text into a black&white image.
* WASM not supported yet (if the game even still built for WASM);
  native/engine_wasm.go stubs out the TextToImage() call with a "not
  supported" error just in case.

Other changes:

* New Toolbar icons: they are 24x24 instead of 32x32 to make more room
  for more tools.
* The toolbar now shows two buttons per row for a more densely packed
  layout. For very narrow screen widths (< 600px) the default Vertical
  Toolbar layout will use one-button-per-row to not eat too much screen
  real estate.
* In the Horizontal Toolbars layout there are 2 buttons per column.
2022-03-05 15:34:20 -08:00
40cb9f15cb Prepare v0.11.0 for release (+ fixes)
* The title screen now loads the default maps from a LevelPack. The game
  no longer ships with the Tutorial levels in the "levels" folder as
  default; they are in the LevelPack so the "Edit Drawing" screen begins
  as a blank slate for only user levels.
* Add the Zoo level to the Tutorial levelpack
* Bugfixes around changing the player character to work around clipping
  issues if the character has changed height drastically.
2022-02-20 17:48:07 -08:00
1205dc2cd3 Invulnerable Anvil and other fixes
* Add methods `Invulnerable() bool` and `SetInvulnerable(bool)` to the
  Actor API accessible in JavaScript (e.g. `Self.SetInvulnerable(true)`)
* The Anvil is invulnerable - when played as, it can crush other mobs by
  jumping on them but is not defeated by those mobs at the same time.
* Anvils don't destroy invulnerable mobs, such as other Anvils.
* Bugfix: the Electric Door is considered to be opened from the first
  frame of animation when the door begins opening, and remains opened
  until the final frame of animation when it is closing.
* New cheat code: `megaton weight` to play as the Anvil by default.

4de0126b19 Game Controller Support
Adds support for Xbox and Nintendo style game controllers. The gamepad
controls are documented on the README and in the game's Settings window.

The buttons are not customizable yet, except that the player can choose
between two button styles:

* X Style (default): "A" button is on the bottom and "B" on the right.
* N Style: swaps the A/B and the X/Y buttons to use a Nintendo-style
  layout instead of an Xbox-style.

44aba8f1b4 White Azulian, Respawn invincibility timer
* Respawning from a checkpoint grants 3 seconds of immunity in case
  enemies are spawn camping.
* Add the white Azulian as an even faster and harder enemy than the red
  Azulian: twice as fast, jumps higher, and can detect the player from
  further away.
2022-01-18 18:32:15 -08:00
3f7e384633 Invincibility Cheat
Add cheat `god mode` that toggles invincibility. Fire pixels and hostile
mobs can't fail the level for you.
2022-01-17 22:02:27 -08:00
48e18da511 Centralize cheats, detect cheated player character
* If the player runs the PlayAsBird cheat they shouldn't be able to win
  a high score on a level, so at level startup it detects whether the
  DefaultPlayerCharacterDoodad has changed from default on a level that
  doesn't use the Start Flag to set a specific doodad - and immediately
  marks the session as cheated
2022-01-08 18:27:37 -08:00
9a51ac39f9 Spit and polish
* 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.
2022-01-02 22:36:32 -08:00
672ee9641a Savegame and High Scores
* Adds pkg/savegame to store user progress thru Level Packs.
* The savegame.json is mildly tamper resistant by including a checksum
  along with the JSON body.
* The checksum combines the JSON string + an app secret (in savegame.go)
  + user specific entropy (stored in their settings.json). If the user
  modifies their save file and the checksum becomes invalid the game
  will not load the save file, acting like it didn't exist, resetting
  all their high scores.

Updates to the Story Mode window:

* On the LevelPacks list: shows e.g. "[completed 0 of 3 levels]" showing
  a user's progress thru the level pack.
* Below the levels on the Detail screen:
  * Shows an indicator whether the level is completed or not.
  * Shows high scores (fastest times beating the level)
  * Shows a padlock icon if levels are locked and the player hasn't
    reached them yet. Pops up an Alert modal if a locked level is
    clicked on.

Scoring is based around your fastest time elapsed to finish the level.

* Perfect Time (gold coin): player has not died during the level.
* Best Time (silver coin): player has continued from a checkpoint.

In-game an elapsed timer is shown in the top left corner along with the
gold or silver coin indicating if your run has been Perfect.

If the user enters any Cheat Codes during gameplay they are not eligible
to win a high score, but the level will still be marked as completed.
The icon next to the in-game timer disappears when a cheat code has been
entered.
2022-01-02 16:28:43 -08:00
d16a8657aa Window Icon, UI Polish
* SDL2 builds of the game now set their app window icon.
* Create/Edit Level window is updated to show a tabbed UI to create a
  new Level or a new Doodad. The dedicated main menu button to create a
  new doodad (which immediately prompted for its size) is replaced by
  this new tab's UI.
* Edit Drawing/Play Level window is more responsive to smaller screen
  sizes by drawing fewer columns of filenames.
* Bugfix: the Alert and Confirm modals always re-center themselves on
  screen, especially to adapt between Portrait or Landscape mode on a
  mobile device.
2021-12-30 16:31:45 -08:00
678326540b WIP LevelPack UI + Landscape Mode Title Screen
The title screen is now responsive to landscape mode. If the window is
not tall enough to show all the menu buttons (~600px) it will switch to
a horizontal layout with the title on the left and buttons on the right.

WIP "Story Mode" button that brings up a Level Packs selection window.
2021-12-23 21:11:45 -08:00
0ec259b171 Crosshair Option + Doodad Editor crash fix
* The level scroll logic was getting a null pointer crash if you open a
  doodad rather than a level file.
* Add a crosshair option to the level editor, configurable in the Game
  Settings window.
2021-10-11 15:57:33 -07:00
e80a3f0446 Various minor tweaks and changes
* Recolor some of the region doodads
* Add command: `doodad edit-level --remove-actor` to remove actors from
  your level.
* Tweak the player jump velocity from playtesting levels.
2021-10-07 20:50:24 -07:00
d6acee5a66 Adjust Gravity and Prevent Moonwalking
* Tweak max gravity speed to match player max velocity.
* Boy's script watches for his velocity to flip suddenly and stops
  animations, limiting the moonwalking a bit.
* JS API: Self.GetVelocity() added.
2021-10-07 18:49:09 -07:00
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

0b0af70a62 Viewport Windows, Quality of Life, Spit and Polish
* New keybind: 'v' to open a new Viewport in the Level Editor.
* New keybind: Backspace to close the topmost UI window,
  and Shift+Backspace to close them all.
* Zoom has graduated out of experimental feature status. Still a bit
  buggy but workable.
* Viewport windows now copy the Tool and BrushSize of the toplevel
  editor, so drawing in and out of viewports works well.
* Viewport window UI improved: buttons to grow or shrink the window
  size, refresh the actors, etc.
2021-10-06 22:22:34 -07:00
489a43ea8c Touch Screen Controls for Play Mode!
The game can now be played using only a touch screen! The left
mouse click (Button1) can now move and control the player
character.

* A box in the very middle of the screen is the "Use" button and
  a deadzone for directional inputs.
* Anywhere outside the middle and to the left registers a Left
  button, to the right a Right button, above the top of the middle
  is a Jump button, and below the bottom of the middle is a down
  input (for antigravity mode).
* Tight platforming is possible: above and below the middle box,
  the left/right split is tight in the middle of the window. You
  can get tight jumps if jumping or go below if you don't want to
  jump. The left/right deadzone is only over the space of the Use
  button.

If the player is idle for a while with no controller inputs, some
hints will fade in about the touch controls.

Note: the ScrollboxOffset to track the player character is changed
to 60,60 from 60,100 so the camera will track tighter to the player
and so the player will mostly be over the Use button on touch
controls as long as he's away from a level boundary.

0a8bce708e Actor Zoom + Experimental Settings GUI
Improvements to the Zoom feature:
* Actor position and size within your level scales up and down
  appropriately. The canvas size of the actor is scaled and its canvas
  is told the Zoom number of the parent so it will render its own
  graphic scaled correctly too.

Other features:
* "Experimental" tab added to the Settings window as a UI version of the
  --experimental CLI option. The option saves persistently to disk.
* The "Replace Palette" experimental feature now works better. Debating
  whether it's a useful feature to even have.
2021-09-11 21:18:22 -07:00
ecdfc46358 Zoom And Edit
Progress on the Zoom feature: when you zoom in and out, you can draw
shapes accurately onto the level. Seems a little buggy if you edit
while scrolling (as in drawing a very long line).

The title screen buttons are now more colorful.
2021-09-11 17:02:01 -07:00
0fa1bf8a76 Editor: Doodad Properties Window
The Doodad Properties window brings many features that used to be
available only in the `doodad` CLI tool into the Doodad Editor.

* In the Doodad Editor there is a new menubar item: "Doodad" which
  corresponds to the "Level" menu when you're editing a level.
* The "Doodad" menu has two items:
  - "Doodad Properties" (NEW)
  - "Layers" (moved here from the Tools menu)
* The Doodad Properties window lets you edit the Title and Author values
  of the doodad, as well as modify its Tags and manage its Script.
* Its script can be attached (browse for .js file on disk), its existing
  script saved back to disk (dev shell prompt) or deleted altogether
  from the doodad.
* You can create, modify, and delete Tags on the doodad.

Other changes:

* In the Level Editor, the "Level->Page Settings" menu is renamed to
  "Level->Level Properties" to match with "Doodad->Doodad Properties"
  and the pop-up window is retitled accordingly.
* The Exit Flag only exits if the Player touches it - not just any
  mobile doodad!
2021-09-02 21:26:55 -07:00
1ac85c9297 Checkpoint Flag & Retry from Checkpoint
* New Doodad: Checkpoint Flag. They update the player's spawn point
  whenever the player passes one. The most recently activated
  checkpoint is rendered brighter than the others.
* End Level Modal: the fake alert box window drawn by the Play Mode
  is replaced with a fancy modal widget (similar to Alert and Confirm).
  It handles level victory or failure conditions and can show or hide
  all the buttons as needed.
* Gameplay: There is a "Retry from Checkpoint" option added, which
  appears in the level failure modal. It will teleport you back to
  the Start Flag or the last Checkpoint Flag you had touched, without
  resetting the level -- your keys, unlocked doors, etc. will be
  preserved so you can retry.
* Set a maximum speed on the "Camera Follows Actor" logic of 64
  pixels per tick. This results in a smoother scrolling transition
  when the player jumps to a new location on the map, such as by
  a Warp Door.
* Update the default color palettes:
    * All: Add a "hint" magenta color.
    * Colored Pencil: Add a "darkstone" solid color.

Updates to the Doodads JavaScript API:

* SetCheckpoint(Point(x, y)): set the player character's spawn
  position. Giving it Self.Position() is an easy way to set the
  player spawn to your doodad's location.
2021-08-15 20:17:53 -07:00
405aaf509d Link Start Flags to Change Characters
New feature: link a Start Flag to another doodad in your level
and you will play as that doodad instead of Boy. All Creatures
are designed to be playable. Playing as "other" doodads leads
to interesting effects, like not being able to activate buttons,
switches, or warp doors and not having an inventory to pick up
keys. The Anvil is fun: it can destroy other mobile doodads by
jumping on them.

If the actor does not specify that it has gravity, the gameplay
starts in antigravity mode. This will be the vast majority of
non-mobile doodads and the Bird.

Other changes:

* The Blue and Red Azulians now share a doodad script.
* The Azulians AI is still to walk back and forth, pickup keys and
  press buttons. The Blue Azulian walks slower than the red one.
* The Blue Azulian is no longer hidden from the doodads list.
* Actor UUID values in levels are now V1 UUIDs (time-ordered).
  This will help to reliably resolve conflicts in draw order
  of overlapping doodads (newest added to level wins).
* Link Tool: clicking on a pair of already-linked doodads will
  now unlink them, so you don't have to delete one to delete
  the link.
* Actor Tool: deleting an actor immediately calls PruneLinks()
  to clean up any links that the deleted doodad might have.
2021-08-11 20:40:31 -07:00
49876c4fdf New TabFrame Widget for Doodads and Settings
* Install the new ui.TabFrame widget into the Settings and Doodad
  Dropper windows to give them properly tabbed interfaces.
* Doodad Dropper's new tabs divide the list of doodads into categories
  to make them easier to find.
* The officially defined categories so far are:
  - Objects (Start/End Flags and Box)
  - Doors (All locked doors and keys, Warp Doors, and Electric Door)
  - Gizmos (All buttons, switches, state blocks/doors, Electric Door)
  - Creatures (Blue/Red Azulian, Bird, Boy)
* The "All" tab of the Doodad Dropper will show every doodad regardless
  of its category or whether it fit one of the official categories.
* How doodads are assigned categories is by a special "category" tag in
  their metadata, e.g. "category=doors,gizmos" - multiple supported.
2021-07-25 21:46:55 -07:00
d4e6d9babb Loading Screen
* pkg/loadscreen implements a global Loading Screen for loading heavy
  levels for playing or editing.
* All chunks in a level are pre-rendered to bitmap before gameplay
  begins, which reduces stutter as chunks were being lazily rendered on
  first appearance before.
* The loading screen can be played with in the developer console:
  $ loadscreen.Show()
  $ loadscreen.Hide()
  Along with ShowWithProgress(), SetProgress(float64) and IsActive()
* Chunker: separate the concerns between Bitmaps an (SDL2) Textures.
* Chunker.Prerender() converts a chunk to a bitmap (a Go image.Image)
  and caches it, only re-rendering if marked as dirty.
* Chunker.Texture() will use the pre-cached bitmap if available to
  immediately produce the SDL2 texture.

Other miscellaneous changes:

* Added to the Colored Pencil palette: Sandstone
* Added "perlin noise" brush pattern

Note: this commit introduces instability and crashes:

* New `asyncSetup()` functions run on a goroutine, but SDL2 texture
  calls must run on the main thread.
* Chunker avoids this by caching bitmaps, not textures.
* Wallpaper though is unstable, sometimes works, sometimes has graphical
  glitches, sometimes crashes the game.
* Wallpaper.Load() and the *Texture() functions are where it crashes.
2021-07-18 21:19:52 -07:00
8603c43c58 Gzip Compression for Levels and Doodads
* Levels and Doodad files will be written in gzip-compressed JSON format
* `boolProp compress-drawings false` to disable compression and save as
  classic JSON format directly
* The game can still read uncompressed JSON files

The file size savings on some built-in assets:

* Tutorial 2.level: 2.2M -> 414K (82% smaller)
* warp-door-orange.doodad: 105K -> 17K (84% smaller)
2021-07-13 20:06:57 -07:00
ed492a4451 Progress on the Zoom In/Out Feature
* Got the level chunks AND the wallpaper to both scale UP and DOWN
  consistently together.
* Trying to draw new pixels while zoomed in/out ends up offsetting the
  pixels by 2X still. Still seems an issue between screen coordinates
  and world coordinates. Zoom in 2X and try and draw a line 64px from
  the corners of the screen? The committed line appropriately lands at
  the 64px coord on the level data but, zoomed in, it appears 2X to the
  right on the screen from where I dropped the cursor!
* When zooming OUT, the limit on number of chunks the viewport will try
  and render is not increased, leaving dead space in the screen; more
  chunks should render when there's room.
2021-07-11 21:54:28 -07:00
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.
2021-06-19 22:14:41 -07:00
0449737607 License Key Registration with ECDSA JWT Tokens
* 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.

d6f86487f5 Horizontal Toolbars Option for Editor Mode
On small screen sizes like the Pinephone, the toolbars in the Level
Editor are best made horizontal across the top and bottom of the screen
leaving more room for the drawing.

Enable it with a boolProp for now, and then reopen the level editor:

    boolProp horizontalToolbars true

When launching `doodle -w mobile` it will automatically enable this
option.
2021-06-13 21:23:26 -07:00
e6b71f5512 Fix Scroll-Follow-Actor Behavior
* The scrollbox by which the game follows the player character has been
  revised, it is now an offset away from the window's center instead of
  fixed pixel distances from the window's edges.
* Mobile form-factor (Pinephone) now scrolls OK instead of jerking back
  and forth rapidly when moving left.
2021-06-13 20:25:42 -07:00
c5e3fc297c Manage Embedded Files In Levels
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.
2021-06-13 16:03:32 -07:00
7093b102e3 Embeddable Doodads In Levels
* 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.

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.

640e75ba4d Custom Wallpapers for Levels
* 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`

6e40d58010 WIP Zoom Tool
* Added Feature Flag support, run doodle with --experimental to enable
  all flags. Eraser Tool is behind a feature flag now.
* + and - on the top row of keyboard keys will zoom the drawing in and
  out in Edit Mode. The wallpaper zooms nicely enough, but level
  chunkers need work.
* A View menu is added with Zoom in/out, reset zoom, and scroll to
  origin options. The whole menu is behind the Zoom feature flag.
* Update README with lots of details for fun debug mode options to play
  around with.

190d4be1b6 Layer Selection Window for Doodad Editor
* 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.

47cca8c7c6 Palette Editor and Doodad Dropper Windows
* 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.

38614ee280 Tighten Doodad JavaScript API, User Documentation
* 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
