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. |

doodad.exe
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.
