# Changes
|
||||
|
||||
## v0.5.0-alpha (Mar 31 2021)
|
||||
|
||||
Project: Doodle is renamed to Sketchy Maze in this release.
|
||||
|
||||
New Features:
|
||||
|
||||
* **New Tutorial Levels:** the bundled levels demonstrate the built-in doodads
|
||||
and how they interact and shows off several game features.
|
||||
* **Level Editor:** you can now set the Title and Author of the level you're
|
||||
editing by using the Level->Page Settings window.
|
||||
* The **Inventory HUD** in Play Mode now shows a small number indicator for items
|
||||
which have quantity, such as the Small Key. Colored Keys do not have quantity
|
||||
and don't show a number: those are permanent collectibles.
|
||||
* **Fire Pixels:** when the player character dies by touching a "Fire" pixel
|
||||
during gameplay, the death message uses the **name** of the color instead
|
||||
of calling it "fire." For example, if you name a color "spikes" and give
|
||||
it the Fire attribute, it will say "Watch out for spikes!" if the player
|
||||
dies by touching it.
|
||||
* New cheat code: `give all keys` gives all four colored keys and 99x Small Keys
|
||||
to the player character. The `drop all items` cheat clears your inventory.
|
||||
|
||||
New Doodads:
|
||||
|
||||
* **Warp Doors** allow the player character to fast travel to another location
|
||||
on the map. Drag two Warp Doors into your level and use the Link Tool to
|
||||
connect them together. Doors without an exit link will be "locked" and don't
|
||||
open.
|
||||
* **Small Key Doors** are locked doors which consume the Small Keys when unlocked,
|
||||
unlike the colored doors where the key is multi-use. The player character can
|
||||
hold many small keys at once and only unlock as many doors as he has keys.
|
||||
|
||||
Updated Doodads:
|
||||
|
||||
* **Several doodads** were increased in size to better match the player character:
|
||||
Colored Locked Doors, Trapdoors, the Crumbly Floor and Electric Door, and the
|
||||
blue and orange Boolean State Blocks.
|
||||
* **Colored Doors** now have a visual locked vs. unlocked state: while locked, a
|
||||
golden padlock hangs from the door, which goes away after it's been unlocked.
|
||||
* **Switches** now interact differently with Electric Doors: the door will _always_
|
||||
toggle its current state regardless of the 'power' setting of the Switch.
|
||||
* **Buttons** which are linked to a **Sticky Button** will press and stay down
|
||||
if the linked Sticky Button is pressed. Or in other words, the Sticky Button
|
||||
makes all linked Buttons act sticky too and stay pressed while the Sticky
|
||||
Button is pressed. If the Sticky Button is released later (e.g. by receiving
|
||||
power from a Switch) it releases its linked Buttons as well.
|
||||
|
||||
## v0.4.0-alpha (Nov 21 2020)
|
||||
|
||||
This update brings improvements to the editor; you can now fully draw all the
|
||||
graphics for a custom doodad using the in-app tools!
|
||||
|
||||
A key difference between a Level and a Doodad is that doodads have **Layers**
|
||||
where they keep multiple frames of animation or state. The editor tool now
|
||||
supports working with these extra layers.
|
||||
|
||||
Other new features:
|
||||
|
||||
* The **Guidebook** has been updated with tons of good info and screenshots of
|
||||
the game's features. Press `F1` in-game to open the guidebook, or check it
|
||||
online at https://www.sketchymaze.com/guidebook/
|
||||
* **Layer Selection Window for Doodads:** when you're editing a Doodad drawing,
|
||||
a "Lyr." button is added to the toolbar to access the Layers window.
|
||||
* **Global UI popup modals:** when you're about to close a level with unsaved
|
||||
changes, you get an Ok/Cancel prompt confirming if you want to do that.
|
||||
Hitting the Escape key will ask you before just exiting the program. Alert
|
||||
boxes are supported too, and an `alert` command added to the developer console.
|
||||
|
||||
## v0.3.0-alpha (Sept 19 2020)
|
||||
|
||||
This update introduces the player character to the game. He doesn't have a name;
|
||||
the game just refers to him as Boy.
|
||||
|
||||
His sprite size is bigger (33x54) than the 32x32 size of the placeholder player
|
||||
character from before. So, the three example levels shipped with previous versions
|
||||
of Project: Doodle no longer work. This release comes with two replacement levels
|
||||
which are better decorated, anyway.
|
||||
|
||||
Other new features:
|
||||
|
||||
* **Palette Editor:** you can add and modify the colors on your level
|
||||
palette! Pick any colors you want, give a name to each swatch, and mark
|
||||
whether they behave as Solid, Water or Fire. Without any of these
|
||||
properties, colors are decorational-only by default.
|
||||
* **Doodad Window:** when selecting the Actor or Link Tools in the editor,
|
||||
the Doodads window pops up. Doodads can be dragged from this window onto your
|
||||
level, instead of the Palette toolbar turning into a Doodad palette.
|
||||
* The Palette toolbar on the Editor is now thinner and only shows colors.
|
||||
Mouse-over tooltips show the name and properties of each swatch.
|
||||
* Added a --window option to the Doodle program to set the default window size.
|
||||
Options can be a resolution (e.g. 1024x768) or a special keyword
|
||||
"desktop", "mobile", "landscape" or "maximized"
|
||||
- Default size is desktop: 1024x768
|
||||
- Mobile and landscape mimic a smartphone at 375x812 resolution.
|
||||
|
||||
## v0.2.0-alpha (June 7 2020)
|
||||
|
||||
This release brings Sound Effects and Menus to the game.
|
||||
|
||||
New features:
|
||||
|
||||
* Added some User Documentation to ship with the game which teaches you how to
|
||||
create your own custom Doodads and program them with JavaScript. More
|
||||
documentation to come with time.
|
||||
* Sound effects! Several doodads have a first pass at sound effects using some
|
||||
free sounds I found online. More doodads still need sounds and the existing
|
||||
sounds are by no means final. Buttons, switches, doors and keys have sound
|
||||
effects so far.
|
||||
* The game now has a Menu Bar with pull-down menus in the Editor Mode instead
|
||||
of just a top panel with New/Save/Open buttons.
|
||||
|
||||
## v0.1.0-alpha (Apr 13 2020)
|
||||
|
||||
New doodads:
|
||||
|
||||
* Start Flag: drag this into your level to set where the player character will
|
||||
spawn. There should only be one per level.
|
||||
* Crumbly Floor: a rocky floor that breaks and falls away after a couple
|
||||
seconds when the player (or other mobile doodad) walks onto it.
|
||||
* State Blocks: blue and orange blocks that toggle between solid and passable
|
||||
when the corresponding ON/OFF button is touched.
|
||||
|
||||
New features:
|
||||
|
||||
* An inventory overlay now appears in Play Mode when the player character picks
|
||||
up one of the colored keys.
|
||||
* While editing a level, you can click the new "Options" button in the top menu
|
||||
to open the level settings window (like the one you see when creating a new
|
||||
level): to change the wallpaper image or the page type.
|
||||
|
||||
Other changes:
|
||||
|
||||
* Added better platforming physics to the player character: acceleration and
|
||||
friction when walking.
|
||||
* The colored Locked Door doodads have been re-designed to be shown in a
|
||||
side-view perspective and have an open and closed state in either direction.
|
||||
* Tooltips added to various buttons in the Editor to show names of doodads and
|
||||
functions of various buttons.
|
||||
|
||||
## v0.0.10-alpha (July 18 2019)
|
||||
|
||||
New features:
|
||||
|
||||
* Added the **Eraser Tool** and support for **brush sizes**. Now you can clean
|
||||
up your mistakes and draw shapes with thicker lines!
|
||||
* Added the **Ellipse Tool** for drawing elliptical shapes.
|
||||
* Added a third example to the game's built-in levels.
|
||||
|
||||
Bug fixes:
|
||||
|
||||
* The Undo command now restores the original color of a pixel instead of just
|
||||
deleting it. Only works for thin lines so far.
|
||||
* Improved collision detection algorithm to prevent players from clipping
|
||||
through a solid doodad, regardless of speed. This change is invisible this
|
||||
build, but opens the door to improvements in the 2D platforming physics and
|
||||
making the player character move and fall faster.
|
||||
* Fix mobile non-player doodads from sometimes being able to clip through a
|
||||
solid doodad. For example, a Red Azulian could sometimes walk through a locked
|
||||
door without interacting with it.
|
||||
* Sometimes hitting Undo would leave a broken "chunk" in your level, if the
|
||||
Undo operation deleted all pixels in that chunk. The broken chunk would show
|
||||
as a solid black square (non-solid) in the level. This has been fixed: empty
|
||||
chunks are now culled when the last pixel is deleted and existing level files
|
||||
will be repaired on next save.
|
||||
|
||||
## v0.0.9-alpha (July 9 2019)
|
||||
|
||||
First alpha release.
