* New built-in wallpaper: "Dotted paper (dark)" is a dark-themed wallpaper. * New built-in palette: "Neon Bright" with bright colors for dark levels. * New cheat: "warp whistle" to automatically win the level. * In case the user has a VERY LARGE screen resolution bigger than the full bounds of a Bounded level, the Play Scene will cap the size and center the level canvas onto the window. This is preferable to being able to see beyond the level's boundaries and hitting an invisible wall in-game. * Make the titlescreen Lazy Scroll work on unbounded levels. It can't bounce off scroll boundaries but it will reverse course if it reaches the level's furthest limits. * Bugfix: characters' white eyes were transparent in-game. Multiple culprits from the `doodad convert` tool defaulting the chroma key to white, to the SDL2 textures considering white to be transparent. For the latter, the game offsets the color by -1 blue. |

The doodad tool is a command line interface for interacting with Levels and Doodad files, collectively referred to as "Doodle drawings" or just "drawings" for short.
Commands
doodad convert
Convert between standard image files (bitmap or PNG) and Doodle drawings (levels or doodads).
This command can be used to "export" a Doodle drawing as a PNG (when run against a Level file, it may export a massive PNG image containing the entire level). It may also "import" a new Doodle drawing from an image on disk.
Example:
# Export a full screenshot of your level
$ doodad convert mymap.level screenshot.png
# Create a new level based from a PNG image.
$ doodad convert scanned-drawing.png new-level.level
# Create a new doodad based from a BMP image, and in this image the chroma
# color (transparent) is #FF00FF instead of white as default.
$ doodad convert --key '#FF00FF' button.png button.doodad
Supported image types:
- PNG (8-bit or 24-bit, with transparent pixels or chroma key)
- BMP (bitmap image with chroma key)
The chrome key defaults to white (#FFFFFF), so pixels of that color are
treated as transparent and ignored. For PNG images, if a pixel is fully
transparent (alpha channel 0%) it will also be skipped.
When converting an image into a drawing, the unique colors identified in the drawing are extracted into the palette. You will need to later edit the palette to assign meaning to the colors.
