* You can now browse for a custom wallpaper image to use with your levels. A platform-native file picker dialog is used (no WASM support) * In the New/Edit Level Properties dialog, the Wallpaper drop-down includes an option to browse for a custom map. * When editing an existing level: the wallpaper takes effect immediately in your level once the file is picked. For NEW levels, the wallpaper will appear once the "Continue" button is pressed. * All common image types supported: png, jpeg, gif. * The wallpaper is embedded in the level using the filepath "assets/wallpapers/custom.b64img" as a Base64-encoded blob of the image data. * The `doodad show` command will list the names and sizes of files embedded in levels. `doodad show --attachment <name>` will get an attachment and print it to the console window. * To extract a wallpaper image from a level: `doodad show -a assets/wallpapers/custom.b64img | base64 -d > out.png` |

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.
