* Added initial walking sprites for the player character, "Boy."
* Player doodad filename and title screen level are now configurable in
the balance/numbers.go package.
* Add sound effect and music support to Doodle.
* Fix WASM build to use the 'null' sound driver for now.
* Add a Settings button to the main menu; UI for it is WIP.
* Tightens up the surface area of API methods available to the
JavaScript VMs for doodads. Variables and functions are carefully
passed in one-by-one so the doodad script can only access intended
functions and not snoop on undocumented APIs.
* Wrote tons of user documentation for Doodad Scripts: documented the
full surface area of the exposed JavaScript API now that the surface
area is known and limited.
* Early WIP code for the Campaign JSON
* 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.
* Touching "fire" pixels in a level will pop up the End Level alert box
saying you've died by fire and can restart the level.
* Update level.WriteFile() to prune broken links between actors before
save. So when a linked actor is deleted, the leftover link data is
cleaned up.
* Slight optimization in Canvas.drawStrokes: if either end of the stroke
is not within view of the screen, don't show the stroke.
* New doodads: Switches.
* They come in four varieties: wall switch (background element, with
"ON/OFF" text) and three side-profile switches for the floor, left
or right walls.
* On collision with the player, they flip their state from "OFF" to
"ON" or vice versa. If the player walks away and then collides
again, the switch flips again.
* Can be used to open/close Electric Doors when turned on/off. Their
default state is "off"
* If a switch receives a power signal from another linked switch, it
sets its own state to match. So, two "on/off" switches that are
connected to a door AND to each other will both flip on/off when one
of them flips.
* Update the Level Collision logic to support Decoration, Fire and Water
pixel collisions.
* Previously, ALL pixels in the level were acting as though solid.
* Non-solid pixels don't count for collision detection, but their
attributes (fire and water) are collected and returned.
* Updated the MenuScene to support loading a map file in Play Mode
instead of Edit Mode. Updated the title screen menu to add a button
for playing levels instead of editing them.
* Wrote some documentation.
* 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.
* 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!)
* To the MenuScene add the "Load Drawing" window UI.
* Displays the user's Levels and Doodads using rows of buttons, 4
buttons per row. Clicking the button loads the EditorScene with that
filename.
* Free Version does not display the Doodads label or button on this
menu screen.
* 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.
