* 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.
Adds the first features to Edit Mode to support creation of Doodad
files! The "New Doodad" button pops up a prompt for a Doodad size
(default 100px) and configures the Canvas widget and makes a Doodad
struct instead of a Level to manage.
* Move the custom Canvas widget from `level.Canvas` to `uix.Canvas`
(the uix package is for our custom UI widgets now)
* Rename the `doodads.Doodad` interface (for runtime instances of
Doodads) to `doodads.Actor` and make `doodads.Doodad` describe the
file format and JSON schema instead.
* Rename the `EditLevel()` method to `EditDrawing()` and it inspects the
file extension to know whether to launch the Edit Mode for a Level or
for a Doodad drawing.
* Doodads can be edited by using the `-edit` CLI flag or using the
in-game file open features (including `edit` command of dev console).
* Add a `Scrollable` boolean to uix.Canvas to restrict the keyboard
being able to scroll the level, for editing Doodads which have a fixed
size.
Starts the implementation of the chunk-based pixel storage system for
levels and drawings.
Previously the levels had a Pixels structure which was just an array of
X,Y and palette index triplets. The new chunk system divides the map up
into square chunks, and lets each chunk manage its own memory layout.
The "MapAccessor" layout is implemented first which is a map of X,Y
coordinates to their Swatches (pointer to an index of the palette). When
serialized the MapAccessor maps the "X,Y": "index" similarly to the old
Pixels array.
The object hierarchy for the chunk system is like:
* Chunker: the manager of the chunks who keeps track of the ChunkSize
and a map of "chunk coordinates" to the chunk in charge of it.
* Chunk: a part of the drawing ChunkSize length square. A chunk has a
Type (of how it stores its data, 0 being a map[Point]Swatch and 1
being a [][]Swatch 2D array), and the chunk has an Accessor which
implements the underlying type.
* Accessor: an interface for a Chunk to provide access to its
pixels.
* MapAccessor: a "sparse map" of coordinates to their Swatches.
* GridAccessor: TBD, will be a "dense" 2D grid of Swatches.
The JSON files are loaded in two passes:
1. The chunks only load their swatch indexes from disk.
2. With the palette also loaded, the chunks are "inflated" and linked
to their swatch pointers.
Misc changes:
* The `level.Canvas` UI widget switches from the old Grid data type to
being able to directly use a `level.Chunker`
* The Chunker is a shared data type between the on-disk level format and
the actual renderer (level.Canvas), so saving the level is easy
because you can just pull the Chunker out from the canvas.
* ChunkSize is stored inside the level file and the default value is at
balance/numbers.go: 1000
The `level.Canvas` is a widget that holds onto its Palette and Grid and
has interactions to allow scrolling and editing the grid using the
swatches available on the palette.
Thus all of the logic in the Editor Mode for drawing directly onto the
root SDL surface are now handled inside a level.Canvas instance.
The `level.Canvas` widget has the following properties:
* Like any widget it has an X,Y position and a width/height.
* It has a Scroll position to control which slice of its drawing will be
visible inside its bounding box.
* It supports levels having negative coordinates for their pixels. It
doesn't care. The default Scroll position is (0,0) at the top left
corner of the widget but you can scroll into the negatives and see the
negative pixels.
* Keyboard keys will scroll the viewport inside the canvas.
* The canvas draws only the pixels that are visible inside its bounding
box.
This feature will eventually pave the way toward:
* Doodads being dropped on top of your map, each Doodad being its own
Canvas widget.
* Using drawings as button icons for the user interface, as the Canvas
is a normal widget.
