Add the ability for the free version of the game to allow loading levels that
use embedded custom doodads if those levels are signed.
* Uses the same signing keys as the JWT token for license registrations.
* Levels and Levelpacks can both be signed. So individual levels with embedded
doodads can work in free versions of the game.
* Levelpacks now support embedded doodads properly: the individual levels in
the pack don't need to embed a custom doodad, but if the doodad exists in
the levelpack's doodads/ folder it will load from there instead - for full
versions of the game OR when the levelpack is signed.
Signatures are computed by getting a listing of embedded assets inside the
zipfile (the assets/ folder in levels, and the doodads/ + levels/ folders
in levelpacks). Thus for individual signed levels, the level geometry and
metadata may be changed without breaking the signature but if custom doodads
are changed the signature will break.
The doodle-admin command adds subcommands to `sign-level` and `verify-level`
to manage signatures on levels and levelpacks.
When using the `doodad levelpack create` command, any custom doodads the
levels mention that are found in your profile directory get embedded into
the zipfile by default (with --doodads custom).
Convert the Chunker size to a uint8 so chunk sizes are limited to 255px. This
means that inside of a chunk, uint8's can track the relative pixel coordinates
and result in a great memory savings since all of these uint8's are currently
64-bits wide apiece.
WIP on rectangular shaped doodads:
* You can create such a doodad in the editor and draw it normally.
* It doesn't draw the right size when dragged into your level however:
- In uix.Actor.Size() it gets a rect of the doodad's square Chunker size,
instead of getting the proper doodad.Size rect.
- If you give it the doodad.Size rect, it draws the Canvas size correctly
instead of a square - the full drawing appears and in gameplay its hitbox
(assuming the same large rectangle size) works correctly in-game.
- But, the doodad has scrolling issues when it gets to the top or left edge
of the screen! This old gnarly bug has come back. For some reason square
canvas doodads draw correctly but rectangular ones have the drawing scroll
just a bit - how far it scrolls is proportional to how big the doodad is,
with the Start Flag only scrolling a few pixels before it stops.
* Added to the F3 Debug Overlay is a "Texture:" label that counts the number
of textures currently loaded by the (SDL2) render engine.
* Added Teardown() functions to Level, Doodad and the Chunker they both use
to free up SDL2 textures for all their cached graphics.
* The Canvas.Destroy() function now cleans up all textures that the Canvas
is responsible for: calling the Teardown() of the Level or Doodad, calling
Destroy() on all level actors, and cleaning up Wallpaper textures.
* The Destroy() method of the game's various Scenes will properly Destroy()
their canvases to clean up when transitioning to another scene. The
MainScene, MenuScene, EditorScene and PlayScene.
* Fix the sprites package to actually cache the ui.Image widgets. The game
has very few sprites so no need to free them just yet.
Some tricky places that were leaking textures have been cleaned up:
* Canvas.InstallActors() destroys the canvases of existing actors before it
reinitializes the list and installs the replacements.
* The DraggableActor when the user is dragging an actor around their level
cleans up the blueprint masked drag/drop actor before nulling it out.
Misc changes:
* The player character cheats during Play Mode will immediately swap out the
player character on the current level.
* Properly call the Close() function instead of Hide() to dismiss popup
windows. The Close() function itself calls Hide() but also triggers
WindowClose event handlers. The Doodad Dropper subscribes to its close
event to free textures for all its doodad canvases.
* Doodad outline while dragging is now sized properly for the zoom level
* Make doodad hitboxes for Actor/Link Tool more accurate while zoomed
* Fix chunks low on the level not loading while zoomed in
* Fix Link lines drawn between doodads while zoomed - they point to the
correct position and their DrawLine calls have been optimized so they
don't lag out the level when lots of them are drawn at once.
* 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.
* 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.
* 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
* Update code for recent changes in UI toolkit around event handlers for
buttons.
* Add tooltips to various buttons in the Editor Mode. The left toolbar
shows the names of each tool, the Doodad Palette shows the title of
each doodad and the Color Palette shows the swatch attributes (solid,
fire, water, etc.)
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.
* Implement Brush Sizes for drawtool.Stroke and add a UI to the tools panel
to control the brush size.
* Brush sizes: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 24, 32, 48, 64
* Add the Eraser Tool to editor mode. It uses a default brush size of 16
and a max size of 32 due to some performance issues.
* The Undo/Redo system now remembers the original color of pixels when
you change them, so that Undo will set them back how they were instead
of deleting the pixel entirely. Due to performance issues, this only
happens when your Brush Size is 0 (drawing single-pixel shapes).
* UI: Add an IntVariable option to ui.Label to bind showing the value of
an int reference.
Aforementioned performance issues:
* When we try to remember whole rects of pixels for drawing thick
shapes, it requires a ton of scanning for each step of the shape. Even
de-duplicating pixel checks, tons of extra reads are constantly
checked.
* The Eraser is the only tool that absolutely needs to be able to
remember wiped pixels AND have large brush sizes. The performance
sucks and lags a bit if you erase a lot all at once, but it's a
trade-off for now.
* So pixels aren't remembered when drawing lines in your level with
thick brushes, so the Undo action will simply delete your pixels and not
reset them. Only the Eraser can bring back pixels.
* 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.
* The game's tick counter was moved from Doodle.ticks to shmem.Tick
where it is more easily available from every corner of the code.
* Fix a bug in the Level Editor where dragging an already-existing actor
from one part of your map to another, would cause it to lose all its
data (especially its UUID), breaking links to other doodads. Now the
existing Actor catches a ride on the drag object to be reinserted
later.
* Animate the Link Line visualizers between actors. They now animate a
blinking color between magenta and grey-ish.
* Rudimentary scrolling shows a Left and Right button at the top of the
Doodad Palette if your window is deemed not tall enough to contain all
of the doodads.
* A "progress bar" is shown between the buttons indicating the
percentage of your scroll down the doodad list. When you're able to
see the final row of doodads, the progress bar is at 100%.
* Toolbar has icon buttons for the Pencil Tool, Line Tool, Rect Tool,
Actor Tool and Link Tool.
* Remove the tab buttons from the top of the Palette window. The palette
tab is now toggled between Swatches and Doodads by the tool selected
on the tool bar, instead of the tab buttons setting the tool.
* Remove the "Link Doodads" button from the Doodad Palette. The Link
Tool has its own dedicated toolbar button with the others.
* Use `go-bindata` to embed built-in doodads and levels directly into
the Doodle binary. `make bindata` produces the bindata source file.
* Add `FromJSON()` method to Levels and Doodads to load objects from
JSON strings in memory (for bindata built-ins or WASM ajax requests)
* Update file loading functions to check the embedded bindata files.
* pkg/config.go#EditFile:
* Supports editing a level from bindata (TODO: remove this support)
* If the "assets/levels/%(simple-name.level)" exists in bindata,
edits that drawing.
* No such support for editing built-in doodads.
* WASM has no filesystem access to edit files except built-in
levels (yet)
* pkg/doodads#ListDoodads:
* Prepends built-in doodads from bindata to the returned list.
* WASM: no filesystem access so gets only the built-ins.
* pkg/doodads#LoadFile:
* Checks built-in bindata store first for doodad files.
* WASM: tries an HTTP request if not found in bindata but can go no
further if not found (no filesystem access)
* pkg/filesystem#FindFile:
* This function finds a level/doodad by checking all the places.
* If the level or doodad exists in bindata built-in, always returns
its system path like "assets/doodads/test.doodad"
* WASM: always returns the built-in candidate path even if not found
in bindata so that ajax GET can be attempted.
* pkg/level#ListSystemLevels:
* New function that lists the system level files, similar to the
equivalent doodads function.
* Prepends the bindata built-in level files.
* WASM: only returns the built-ins (no filesystem support)
* Desktop: also lists and returns the assets/levels/ directory.
* pkg/level#LoadFile:
* Like the doodads.LoadFile, tries from built-in bindata first, then
ajax request (WASM) before accessing the filesystem (desktop)
* Menu Scene: TODO, list the built-in levels in the Load Level menu.
This feature will soon go away when WASM gets its own storage for user
levels (localStorage instead of filesystem)
* On the Doodads tab is the Link button to enter the Link Tool.
* Click Link, then click the 1st doodad on the level, then click the 2nd
doodad to complete the link.
* The actors struct in the Level holds the link IDs for each actor.
