Adds several new doodads to the game and 5 new wallpapers (parchment
paper in blue, green, red, white and yellow).
New doodads:
* Crusher: A purple block-headed mob wearing an iron helmet. It tries
to crush the player when you get underneath. Its flat helmet can be
ridden on like an elevator back up.
* Snake: A green stationary mob that always faces toward the player.
If the player is nearby and jumps, the Snake will jump too and hope
to catch the player in mid-air.
* Gems and Totems: A new key & lock collectible. Gems have quantity so
you can collect multiple, and place them into matching Totems. A
Totem gives off a power signal when its gem is placed and all other
Totems it is linked to have also been activated. A single Totem may
link to an Electric Door and require only one gem to open it, or it
can link to other Totems and they all require gems before the power
signal is sent out.
* The blue bird follows the same base AI as the red bird (it has a
target altitude that it tries to maintain, and it will dive at the
player) but the blue bird flies in a sine wave pattern around its
target altitude. It also has a longer scan radius to search for the
player than the red bird.
* The sine wave pattern of the blue bird means you may fly under its
radar depending how high it is on average.
Cheat codes that replace the player character are refactored to make
it easier to extend, and new cheats have been added:
* super azulian: play as the Red Azulian.
* hyper azulian: play as the White Azulian.
* bluebird: play as the new Bird (blue).
Too restricted by the cheat codes to play as certain characters
on-demand? Use the JS shell in the developer console to set any doodad
you want:
$ d.SetPlayerCharacter("key-blue")
$ d.SetPlayerCharacter("anvil")
$ d.SetPlayerCharacter("box.doodad")
The .doodad suffix is optional.
Interesting behaviors when playing as odd doodads:
* Most non-mobile doodads don't collide with each other, so you can pass
through doors and not activate buttons if you play as a key or a
trapdoor. Non-mobile doodads also generally have antigravity so you
can fly freely around the map.
* Non-mobile doodads can not open Warp Doors or interact with the Exit
Flag. You'll have to change back to a creature such as "boy" or
"azu-blue" to win the level.
* If you are a key, the Thief can collect you! This removes your player
doodad from the level and soft locks the game. No worries, another
call to d.SetPlayerCharacter() will put you back on the map!
* If the doodad name isn't found, you'll play as the built-in fallback
doodad, which is just a red "X" shape. It has anti-gravity and does
not generally interact with any doodad (can not push buttons or
collect keys - but it can pass through doors and other obstacles. Can
not win the level goal flag, though!)
* 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.
New features:
* Flood Tool for the editor. It replaces pixels of one color with another,
contiguously. Has limits on how far from the original pixel it will color,
to avoid infinite loops in case the user clicked on wide open void. The
limit when clicking an existing color is 1200px or only a 600px limit if
clicking into the void.
* Cheat code: 'master key' to play locked Story Mode levels.
Level GameRules feature added:
* A new tab in the Level Properties dialog
* Difficulty has been moved to this tab
* Survival Mode: for silver high score, longest time alive is better than
fastest time, for Azulian Tag maps. Gold high score is still based on
fastest time - find the hidden level exit without dying!
Tweaks to the Azulians' jump heights:
* Blue Azulian: 12 -> 14
* Red Azulian: 14 -> 18
* White Azulian: 16 -> 20
Bugs fixed:
* When editing your Palette to rename a color or add a new color, it wasn't
possible to draw with that color until the editor was completely unloaded
and reloaded; this is now fixed.
* Minor bugfix in Difficulty.String() for Peaceful (-1) difficulty to avoid
a negative array index.
* Try and prevent user giving the same name to multiple swatches on their
palette. Replacing the whole palette can let duplication through still.
UI improvements specifically for mobile (running the game with the
`-w mobile` or `-w landscape` options) screen sizes.
* Rework the Settings window to be mobile friendly to landscape
oriented screens (`doodle -w landscape`) and migrate Options tab
to magicform.
* The toolbar in the Editor will be a single column of buttons
on small screens, such as `-w mobile` (375x812) portrait mode
smartphone. On larger screens the toolbar shows in two columns
of buttons.
* Fix tooltips not drawing on top.
* Centralize the hard-coded references to specific font filenames
* Add cheat code: `test load screen` to bring a sample loading screen up
for a few seconds. It needs improvement on `-w landscape`
* Add methods `Invulnerable() bool` and `SetInvulnerable(bool)` to the
Actor API accessible in JavaScript (e.g. `Self.SetInvulnerable(true)`)
* The Anvil is invulnerable - when played as, it can crush other mobs by
jumping on them but is not defeated by those mobs at the same time.
* Anvils don't destroy invulnerable mobs, such as other Anvils.
* Bugfix: the Electric Door is considered to be opened from the first
frame of animation when the door begins opening, and remains opened
until the final frame of animation when it is closing.
* New cheat code: `megaton weight` to play as the Anvil by default.
* If the player runs the PlayAsBird cheat they shouldn't be able to win
a high score on a level, so at level startup it detects whether the
DefaultPlayerCharacterDoodad has changed from default on a level that
doesn't use the Start Flag to set a specific doodad - and immediately
marks the session as cheated
* Adds pkg/savegame to store user progress thru Level Packs.
* The savegame.json is mildly tamper resistant by including a checksum
along with the JSON body.
* The checksum combines the JSON string + an app secret (in savegame.go)
+ user specific entropy (stored in their settings.json). If the user
modifies their save file and the checksum becomes invalid the game
will not load the save file, acting like it didn't exist, resetting
all their high scores.
Updates to the Story Mode window:
* On the LevelPacks list: shows e.g. "[completed 0 of 3 levels]" showing
a user's progress thru the level pack.
* Below the levels on the Detail screen:
* Shows an indicator whether the level is completed or not.
* Shows high scores (fastest times beating the level)
* Shows a padlock icon if levels are locked and the player hasn't
reached them yet. Pops up an Alert modal if a locked level is
clicked on.
Scoring is based around your fastest time elapsed to finish the level.
* Perfect Time (gold coin): player has not died during the level.
* Best Time (silver coin): player has continued from a checkpoint.
In-game an elapsed timer is shown in the top left corner along with the
gold or silver coin indicating if your run has been Perfect.
If the user enters any Cheat Codes during gameplay they are not eligible
to win a high score, but the level will still be marked as completed.
The icon next to the in-game timer disappears when a cheat code has been
entered.
* The "Giant Screenshot" feature takes a very long time, so it is made
asynchronous. If you try and run a second one while the first is busy,
you get an error flash. You can continue editing the level, even
playtest it, or load a different level, and it will continue crunching
on the Giant Screenshot and flash when it's finished.
* Updated the player physics to use proper Velocity to jump off the
ground rather than the hacky timer-based fixed speed approach.
* FlashError() function to flash "error level" messages to the screen.
They appear in orange text instead of the usual blue, and most error
messages in the game use this now. The dev console "error <msg>"
command can simulate an error message.
* Flashed message fonts are updated. The blue font now uses softer
stroke and shadow colors and the same algorithm applies to the orange
error flashes.
Some other changes to player physics:
* Max velocity, acceleration speed, and gravity have been tweaked.
* Fast turn-around if you are moving right and then need to go left.
Your velocity resets to zero at the transition so you quickly get
going the way you want to go.
Some levels that need a bit of love for the new platforming physics:
* Tutorial 3.level
The Checkpoint Region acts as an invisible checkpoint flag, remembering
the player's location should they need to respawn there.
New cheat: `show all actors` during Play Mode will make every hidden
actor visible. Useful to see your technical doodads during gameplay!
Developer shell: `Execute(command string)` is available to the
JavaScript interpreter. It simulates another command being run on the
developer console.
* Added the Death Barrier to Play Mode to catch players from falling off
the map and then falling indefinitely, especially on Unbounded maps.
* The Death Barrier is set 1,000 pixels below the lowest point on your
map. If the player falls here they get a death message: "Watch out for
falling off the map!"
* Added cheat codes to change the default Player Character doodad, as a
way to force play as a different character (for levels which don't
specify a custom character):
* Play as Bird: fly like a bird
* Play as Blue Azulian: the cell
* Play as Thief: play as thief
* Reset to default (Boy): pinocchio
* The crumbly floor doodad was made 50% larger.
* New doodad: Small Key and Small Key Door. These work like the colored
doors and locks except each Small Key is consumed when it unlocks a
door. The door's appearance is of iron bars.
* The inventory HUD displays a small quantity label in the lower-right
corner of items that have a quantity, such as the Small Key. This is
done as a Canvas.CornerLabel string attribute on uix.Canvas.
* The "give all keys" cheat adds 99 Small Keys to your inventory.
* 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
