Implement scrolling behavior in Play Mode by allowing the Canvas to
follow a specific actor and keep it in view. The Canvas has a
FollowActor property which holds an ID of the actor to follow (if blank,
no actor is being followed).
In Play Mode the Player is followed and when they get too close to the
left or right edges of the screen, the level will scroll to try and
catch them. If the player is moving very fast they can outrun the
camera.
The bounded levels are enforced in Play Mode and the camera won't scroll
to view pixels out-of-bounds and the Doodad actors inside the level
aren't allowed to exit its boundaries. This is global, not only for the
Player doodad but any Doodad that came with the level as well.
Other changes:
- Restructured Canvas widget code into many new files. The Canvas widget
is shaping up to be where most of the magic happens, which is okay
because it's close to the action and pulling the strings from outside
would be harder, even tho as a UI element you think it should be
lightweight.
- Debug Overlay: added room for Scenes to insert their own custom Debug
Overlay key/value pairs (the values are string pointers so the Scene
can update them freely):
- The core labels are FPS, Scene and Mouse. The Pixel (world
coordinate under cursor) is removed from the core labels.
- Edit Scene provides Pixel, Tool and Swatch
- Play Scene provides Pixel, Player, Viewport, Scroll
Implement the Wallpaper system into the levels and the concept of
Bounded and Unbounded levels.
The first wallpaper image is notepad.png which looks like standard ruled
notebook paper. On bounded levels, the top/left edges of the page look
as you would expect and the blue lines tile indefinitely in the positive
directions. On unbounded levels, you only get the repeating blue lines
but not the edge pieces.
A wallpaper is just a rectangular image file. The image is divided into
four equal quadrants to be the Corner, Top, Left and Repeat textures for
the wallpaper. The Repeat texture is ALWAYS used and fills all the empty
space behind the drawing. (Doodads draw with blank canvases as before
because only levels have wallpapers!)
Levels have four options of a "Page Type":
- Unbounded (default, infinite space)
- NoNegativeSpace (has a top left edge but can grow infinitely)
- Bounded (has a top left edge and bounded size)
- Bordered (bounded with bordered texture; NOT IMPLEMENTED!)
The scrollable viewport of a Canvas will respect the wallpaper and page
type settings of a Level loaded into it. That is, if the level has a top
left edge (not Unbounded) you can NOT scroll to see negative coordinates
below (0,0) -- and if the level has a max dimension set, you can't
scroll to see pixels outside those dimensions.
The Canvas property NoLimitScroll=true will override the scroll locking
and let you see outside the bounds, for debugging.
- Default map settings for New Level are now:
- Page Type: NoNegativeSpace
- Wallpaper: notepad.png (default)
- MaxWidth: 2550 (8.5" * 300 ppi)
- MaxHeight: 3300 ( 11" * 300 ppi)
