* Added a Cheats Menu UI accessible from the Settings window's "Experimental"
tab and from there you can enable the Cheats Menu from the "Help" screen of
the gameplay mode.
* Commonly used cheats all have corresponding buttons to click on, especially
helpful for touchscreen devices like the Pinephone where keyboard input
doesn't always work reliably.
* The buttons in the Cheats Menu just automate entry of the cheat commands.
* `boolProp` command has a new `flip` option to toggle their value (e.g.
`boolProp show-hidden-doodads flip`)
* Made the loadscreen useful again (give it work to do async so the game
doesn't simply freeze during): does a first call to LoadUnloadChunks
to preload the viewport chunks.
* Hide the mouse cursor when movement keys are pressed.
* The blue bird follows the same base AI as the red bird (it has a
target altitude that it tries to maintain, and it will dive at the
player) but the blue bird flies in a sine wave pattern around its
target altitude. It also has a longer scan radius to search for the
player than the red bird.
* The sine wave pattern of the blue bird means you may fly under its
radar depending how high it is on average.
Cheat codes that replace the player character are refactored to make
it easier to extend, and new cheats have been added:
* super azulian: play as the Red Azulian.
* hyper azulian: play as the White Azulian.
* bluebird: play as the new Bird (blue).
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`
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.
* 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.
* The Red Bird now records its original altitude on the level and will
try and return there should it accidentally climb up or down a wall.
Sometimes goes into a wavy pattern surrounding its original altitude.
* Editor UI: in the default (vertical) toolbar, the Palette now has a
two column view to show more color choices on screen at once.
* User setting added: hide the touch control hints.
* 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.
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.
* 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.
* Holding Shift while pressing arrow keys in the editor will scroll by
just 1 pixel per tick to aid in precise debugging with the Zoom In/Out
feature.
* The keybinds used in canvas_editable.go to catch the arrow keys are
updated to use our nice keybind package. As a consequence, the WASD
keys will also scroll the level.
* The "d for Doodads" keybind is renamed "q" so as not to open the
Doodads window whenever scrolling right using the WASD keys.
* The pattern textures for level palettes have been brightened and work
better with bright colors.
* The three default palettes for new levels now have patterns applied to
each of their colors.
* Bugfix around resetting keybind states for Zoom In/Out, Scroll to
Origin and Reset Zoom Level bindings.
* 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.
* Add sound effect and music support to Doodle.
* Fix WASM build to use the 'null' sound driver for now.
* Add a Settings button to the main menu; UI for it is WIP.
