* 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.

Alpha Launch Minimum Checklist
- Open Source Licenses
- Doodad Scripts: an "end level" function for a level goalpost.
Blocker Bugs:
- Sometimes the red Azulians don't interact with other doodads properly, but sometimes they do. (i.e. they phase thru doors, don't interact with buttons or keys).
UI Cleanup:
- Doodads Palette:
- Hide some doodads like the player character.
- Pagination or scrolling UI for long lists of doodads.
Nice to haves:

Doodad Ideas
In addition to those listed above:
- Crumbly floor: Tomb Raider inspired cracked stone floor that crumbles under the player a moment after being touched.
- Firepit: decorative, painful
- Gravity Boots: flip player's gravity upside down.
- Warp Doors that lead to other linked maps.
- For campaign levels only. If used in a normal player level, acts as a level goal and ends the level.
- Doodads "Warp Door A" through "Warp Door D"
- The campaign.json would link levels together.
- Conveyor Belt
New Ideas
- New Doodad struct fields:
Hidden bool: skip showing this doodad in the palette UI.HasInventory bool: for player characters and maybe thieves. This way keys only get picked up by player characters and not "any doodad that touches them"- ``
Path to Multiplayer
- Add a Player abstraction between events and player characters.
- Keyboard keys would update PlayerOne's state with actions (move left, right, jump, etc)
- Possible to have multiple local players (i.e. bound to different keyboard keys, bound to joypads, etc.)
- A NetworkPlayer provides a Player's inputs from over a network.
- Client/server negotiation, protocol
- Client can request chunks from server for local rendering.
- Players send inputs over network sockets.
