db5760ee83 Optimize memory by freeing up SDL2 textures
* 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.

4469847c72 Giant Screenshot Feature
In the Level Editor, the "Level->Giant Screenshot" menu will take a full
scale PNG screenshot of the entire level, with its wallpaper and
doodads, and save it in ~/.config/doodle/screenshots.

It is currently CPU intensive and slow. With future work it should be
made asynchronous. The function is abstracted away nicely so that the
doodad CLI tool may support this as well.

215ed5c847 Stabilize Load Screen by Deferring SDL2 Calls
* The loading screen for Edit and Play modes is stable and the risk of
  game crash is removed. The root cause was the setupAsync() functions
  running on a background goroutine, and running SDL2 draw functions
  while NOT on the main thread, which causes problems.
* The fix is all SDL2 Texture draws become lazy loaded: when the main
  thread is presenting, any Wallpaper or ui.Image that has no texture
  yet gets one created at that time from the cached image.Image.
* All internal game logic then uses image.Image types, to cache bitmaps
  of Level Chunks, Wallpaper images, Sprite icons, etc. and the game is
  free to prepare these asynchronously; only the main thread ever
  Presents and the SDL2 textures initialize on first appearance.
* Several functions had arguments cleaned up: Canvas.LoadLevel() does
  not need the render.Engine as (e.g. wallpaper) textures don't render
  at that stage.

3486050702 Go 1.16 embed instead of go-bindata
* Migrate off go-bindata to embed built-in fonts, levels and doodads in
  favor of Go 1.16 native embed functionality.
* `make bindata` prints a deprecation warning to not break older build
  scripts
* Removes all references of bindata from the program

640e75ba4d Custom Wallpapers for Levels
* 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`

8965a7d86a Doodads: Crumbly Floor, Start Flag & State Blocks
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.

3d08291bc5 Demo Running Level as Title Screen Wallpaper
* Load SDL2 fonts from go-bindata storage so we don't have to ship
  external font files on disk.
* Dedupe names of doodads so we don't show double on the front-end
  (go-bindata bundled doodads + those on local filesystem)
* Use go-bindata for accessing wallpaper images.
* Better flashed messages walking you through the Link Tool.
* Stylize the title screen (MainScene) by rendering a live example level
  as the background wallpaper, with mobile doodads in motion.

c7cc40a339 Refactor Render Texture-Cache Interface
Since SDL2 is using in-memory bitmaps the same as Canvas engine, the
function names of the render.Engine interface have been cleaned up:

* NewTexture(filename, image) -> StoreTexture(name, image)
  Create a new cached texture with a given name.
* NewBitmap(filename) -> LoadTexture(name)
  Recall a stored texture with a given name.
* level.Chunk.ToBitmap uses simpler names for the textures instead of
  userdir.CacheFilename file-like paths.

3d199ca263 SDL2: Cache Bitmaps in Memory, Not on Disk
* Update the SDL2 engine's texture caching to use an sdl.RWops file
  buffer in memory instead of outputting bitmap images to the
  filesystem.

af67b20d9b Initial WebAssembly Build Target
* Initial WebAssembly build target for Doodle in the wasm/ folder.
* Add a new render.Engine implementation, lib/render/canvas that uses
  the HTML 5 Canvas API instead of SDL2 for the WebAssembly target.
  * Ported the basic DrawLine(), DrawBox() etc. functions from SDL2 to
    Canvas context2d API.
  * Fonts are handled with CSS embedded fonts named after the font
    filename and defined in wasm/index.html
* `make wasm` builds the WASM program, and `make wasm-serve` runs a dev
  Go server that hosts the WASM file for development. The server also
  watches the dev tree for *.go files and rebuilds the WASM binary
  automatically on change.
* This build "basically" runs the game. UI and fonts all work and mouse
  movements and clicks are detected. No wallpaper support yet or texture
  caching (which will crash the game as soon as you click and draw a
  pixel in your map!)

d0ff137b04 Windows Executable Cross-Compile with MinGW
* Added Windows build instructions to Building.md and added a
  "make mingw" command to cross-compile the Windows binary into
  the bin/ folder.
* Fix a bug in the Wallpaper texture loader where it would error out
  when caching textures to disk the first time.

bca848d534 Wallpapers and Bounded Levels
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)
