In the editor, clicking and dragging with the middle mouse button
will scroll the view of the editor in place of the arrow keys.
When entering Play Mode, the original scroll position in the level
editor is remembered for when you come back - no more having to
scroll from 0,0 each time to get back to where you were working!
For levels having a top/left scroll boundary, the top/left point takes
higher priority for resolving out-of-bounds scroll ranges instead of the
bottom/right.
This fixes a bug where you Zoom Out of a level far enough that the
entire boundaries of a Bounded level are smaller than the viewport into
the level. It could happen if playing normal levels in Play Mode on a
very high-resolution monitor. Previously, the level would anchor to the
bottom/right corner of your screen.
With the Zoom In/Out Feature this broke the ability to scroll well on
the level; so the easy fix is to put the X>0, Y>0 bounds check after the
above, so the level will hug the top/left corner of the screen which
fixes both problems.
* 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.
* 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 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.
* 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`
* Fix the level collision bug that allowed clipping thru a ceiling while
climbing up a wall.
* Fix the scrolling behavior to keep the character on-screen no matter
how fast the character is moving, especially downwards.
* Increase player speed and gravity.
* New cheat: "ghost mode" disables clipping for the player character.
* Mark an actor as "grounded" if they fall and are stopped by the lower
level border, so they may jump again.
* Debug mode: no longer enables the DebugOverlay (F3) by default, but
does now insert the current FPS counter into the window title bar.
* ui.Frame: set a default "mostly transparent" BG color so the frame
background doesn't render as white.
* Add the MenuScene which will house the game's main menus.
* The "New Level" menu is first to be added.
* UI lets you pick Page Type and Wallpaper using radio buttons.
* Page Type: Unbounded, Bounded (default), No Negative Space, Bordered
* Fix bugs in uix.Canvas to fully support all these page types.
Fixes:
* Move the call to CollidesWithGrid() inside the Canvas instead of
outside in the PlayScene.movePlayer() so it can apply to all Actors
in motion.
* PlayScene.movePlayer() in turn just sets the player's Velocity so the
Canvas.Loop() can move the actor itself.
* When keeping the player inside the level boundaries: previously it was
assuming the player Position was relative to the window, and was
checking the WorldIndexAt and getting wrong results.
* Canvas scrolling (loopFollowActor): check that the actor is getting
close to the screen edge using the Viewport into the world, NOT the
screen-relative coordinates of the Canvas bounding boxes.
