Add the JSON format for embedding Actors (Doodad instances) inside of a
Level. I made a test map that manually inserted a couple of actors.
Actors are given to the Canvas responsible for the Level via the
function `InstallActors()`. So it means you'll call LoadLevel and then
InstallActors to hook everything up.
The Canvas creates sub-Canvas widgets from each Actor.
After drawing the main level geometry from the Canvas.Chunker, it calls
the drawActors() function which does the same but for Actors.
Levels keep a global map of all Actors that exist. For any Actors that
are visible within the Viewport, their sub-Canvas widgets are presented
appropriately on top of the parent Canvas. In case their sub-Canvas
overlaps the parent's boundaries, their sub-Canvas is resized and moved
appropriately.
- Allow the MainWindow to be resized at run time, and the UI
recalculates its sizing and position.
- Made the in-game Shell properties editable via environment variables.
The kirsle.env file sets a blue and pink color scheme.
- Begin the ground work for Levels and Doodads to embed files inside
their data via the level.FileSystem type.
- UI: Labels can now contain line break characters. It will
appropriately render multiple lines of render.Text and take into
account the proper BoxSize to contain them all.
- Add environment variable DOODLE_DEBUG_ALL=true that will turn on ALL
debug overlay and visualization options.
- Add debug overlay to "tag" each Canvas widget with some of its
details, like its Name and World Position. Can be enabled with the
environment variable DEBUG_CANVAS_LABEL=true
- Improved the FPS debug overlay to show in labeled columns and multiple
colors, with easy ability to add new data points to it.
* Increase the default window size from 800x600 to 1024x768.
* Move the drawing canvas in EditorMode to inside the EditorUI where it can
be better managed with the other widgets it shares the screen with.
* Slightly fix Frame packing bug (with East orientation) that was causing
right-aligned statusbar items to be partially cropped off-screen. Moved a
couple statusbar labels in EditorMode to the right.
* Add `Parent()` and `Adopt()` methods to widgets for when they're managed
by containers like the Frame.
* Add utility functions to UI toolkit for computing a widget's Absolute
Position and Absolute Rect, by crawling all parent widgets and summing
them up.
* Add `lib/debugging` package with useful stack tracing utilities.
* Add `make guitest` to launch the program into the GUI Test.
The command line flag is: `doodle -guitest`
* Console: add a `close` command which returns to the MainScene.
* Initialize the font cache directory (~/.cache/doodle/fonts) but don't
extract the fonts there yet.
* Added a "menu toolbar" to the top of the Edit Mode with useful buttons
that work: New Level, New Doodad (same thing), Save, Save as, Open.
* Added ability for the dev console to prompt the user for a question,
which opens the console automatically. "Save", "Save as" and "Load"
ask for their filenames this way.
* Started groundwork for theming the app. The palette window is a light
brown with an orange title bar, the Menu Toolbar has a black
background, etc.
* Added support for multiple fonts instead of just monospace. DejaVu
Sans (normal and bold) are used now for most labels and window titles,
respectively. The dev console uses DejaVu Sans Mono as before.
* Update ui.Label to accept PadX and PadY separately instead of only
having the Padding option which did both.
* Improvements to Frame packing algorithm.
* Set the SDL draw mode to BLEND so we can use alpha colors properly,
so now the dev console is semi-translucent.
These properties will be globally useful to all sorts of Widgets and
have been moved from the Button up into the Common widget, and its
interface extended to configure these:
* Padding int32
* Background color
* Foreground color
* Border size, color and style (default solid; raised; sunken)
* Outline size and color
The button adjusts its border style from "raised" to "sunken" for
MouseDown events and its Background color for MouseOver events. Other
widgets such as Labels and Frames will be able to have borders, paddings
and outlines too, but they will be off by default.
The Buttons can now be managed by a ui.Supervisor and be notified when
the mouse enters or leaves their bounding box and handle click events.
Current event handlers supported:
* MouseOver
* MouseOut
* MouseDown
* MouseUp
* Click
Each of those events are only fired when the state of the event has
changed, i.e. the first time the mouse enters the widget MouseOver is
called and then when the mouse leaves later, MouseOut is called.
A completed click event (mouse was released while pressed and hovering
the button) triggers both MouseOut and Click, so the button can pop
itself out and also run the click handler.
Implements the dev console in-game with various commands to start out
with.
Press the Enter key to show or hide the console. Commands supported:
new
Start a new map in Edit Mode.
save [filename.json]
Save the current map to disk. Filename is required unless you
have saved recently.
edit filename.json
Open a map from disk in Edit Mode.
play filename.json
Play a map from disk in Play Mode.
