title: "v0.13.1 Released"

This release brings a handful of minor new features to the game.
|
||||
|
||||
First, there are a couple of new Pixel Attributes available in the level editor:
|
||||
|
||||
* Semi-Solid: pixels with this attribute only behave as "solid" when walked on
|
||||
from above. The player can jump through the bottom of a Semi-Solid and land
|
||||
on top, and gradual slopes can be walked up and down as well, but a steep
|
||||
slope or a wall can be simply passed through as though it were just decoration.
|
||||
* Slippery: the player's acceleration and friction are reduced when walking on
|
||||
a slippery floor. In the future, players and other mobile doodads may slide
|
||||
down slippery slopes automatically as well (not yet implemented).
|
||||
* These attributes are available in the Level Editor by clicking the "Edit"
|
||||
button on your Palette (or the "Tools -> Edit Palette" menu). The Palette
|
||||
Editor now has small icon images for the various attributes to make room for
|
||||
the expanded arsenal of options.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Doodad/Actor Runtime Options have been added:
|
||||
|
||||
* In the Doodad Editor's "Doodad Properties" window, see the new "Options" tab.
|
||||
* Doodad Options allow a map creator to customize certain properties about your
|
||||
doodad, on a per-instance basis (instances of doodads are called "actors" when
|
||||
placed in your level).
|
||||
* In the Level Editor when the Actor Tool is selected, mousing over a doodad on
|
||||
your level will show a new gear icon in the corner. Clicking the icon will open
|
||||
the Actor Properties window, where you may toggle some of the doodad options
|
||||
(if a doodad has any options available).
|
||||
* Options can be of type boolean, string, or integer and have a custom name and a
|
||||
default value at the doodad level. In the Level Editor, the map creator can
|
||||
set values for the available options which the doodad script can read using the
|
||||
`Self.GetOption()` method.
|
||||
* Several of the game's built-in doodads have options you can play with, which are
|
||||
documented below.
|
||||
|
||||
New and updated doodads:
|
||||
|
||||
* "Look At Me" is a new Technical doodad that will draw the camera's attention
|
||||
to it when it receives a power signal from a linked button. For example, if
|
||||
a button would open an Electric Door far across the level, you can also place
|
||||
a "Look At Me" near the door and link the button to both doodads. When the
|
||||
button is pressed, the camera will scroll to the "Look At Me" and the player
|
||||
can see that the door has opened.
|
||||
* Anvils will now attract the camera's attention while they are falling.
|
||||
|
||||
Several of the game's built-in doodads have new Actor Runtime Options you can
|
||||
configure in your custom levels:
|
||||
|
||||
* Warp Doors: "locked (exit only)" will make it so the player can not enter the
|
||||
warp door - they will get a message on-screen that it is locked, similar to
|
||||
how warp doors behave when they aren't linked to another door. If it is linked
|
||||
to another door, the player may still exit from the 'locked' door -
|
||||
essentially creating a one-way warp, without needing to rely on the
|
||||
orange/blue state doors. The "Invisible Warp Door" technical doodad also
|
||||
supports this option.
|
||||
* Electric Door & Electric Trapdoor: check the "opened" option and these doors
|
||||
will be opened by default when the level gameplay begins. A switch may still
|
||||
toggle the doors closed, or if the doors receive and then lose a power signal
|
||||
they will close as normal.
|
||||
* Colored Doors & Small Key Door: you may mark the doors as "unlocked" at the
|
||||
start of your level, and they won't require a key to open.
|
||||
* Colored Keys & Small Key: you may mark the keys as "has gravity" and they
|
||||
will be subject to the force of gravity and be considered a "mobile" doodad
|
||||
that may activate buttons or trapdoors that they fall onto.
|
||||
* Gemstones: these items already had gravity by default, and now they have a
|
||||
"has gravity" option you may disable if you'd prefer gemstones not to be
|
||||
subject to gravity (and make them behave the way keys used to).
|
||||
* Gemstome Totems: for cosmetic purposes you may toggle the "has gemstone"
|
||||
option and the totem will already have its stone inserted at level start.
|
||||
These gemstones will NOT emit a power signal or interact normally with
|
||||
linked totems - they should be configured this way only for the cosmetic
|
||||
appearance, e.g., to have one totem filled and some others empty; only the
|
||||
empty totems should be linked together and to a door that would open when
|
||||
they are all filled.
|
||||
* Fire Region: you may pick a custom "name" for this doodad (default is "fire")
|
||||
to make it better behave as normal fire pixels do: "Watch out for (name)!"
|
||||
|
||||
Improvements in support of custom content:
|
||||
|
||||
* Add a JavaScript "Exception Catcher" window in-game. If your doodad scripts
|
||||
encounter a scripting error, a red window will pop up showing the text of
|
||||
the exception with buttons to copy the full text to your clipboard (in case
|
||||
it doesn't all fit on-screen) and to suppress any further exceptions for
|
||||
the rest of your game session (in case a broken doodad is spamming you with
|
||||
error messages). Cheat codes can invoke the Exception Catcher for testing:
|
||||
`throw <message>` to show custom text, `throw2` to test a "long" message
|
||||
and `throw3` to throw a realistic message.
|
||||
* Calling `console.log()` and similar from doodad scripts will now prefix the
|
||||
log message with the doodad's filename and level ID.
|
||||
|
||||
There are new JavaScript API methods available to doodad scripts:
|
||||
|
||||
* `Self.CameraFollowMe()` will attract the game's camera viewport to center
|
||||
on your doodad, taking the camera's focus away from the player character.
|
||||
The camera will return to the player if they enter a directional input.
|
||||
* `Self.Options()` returns a string array of all of the options available on
|
||||
the current doodad.
|
||||
* `Self.GetOption(name)` returns the configured value for a given option.
|
||||
|
||||
Some improvements to the `doodad` command-line tool:
|
||||
|
||||
* `doodad show` will print the Options on a .doodad file and, when showing
|
||||
a .level file with the `--actors` option, will list any Options configured
|
||||
on a level's actors where they differ from the doodad's defaults.
|
||||
* `doodad edit-doodad` adds a `--option` parameter to define an option on a
|
||||
doodad programmatically. The syntax is like `--option name=type=default`
|
||||
for example `--option unlocked=bool=true` or `--option unlocked=bool`; the
|
||||
default value is optional if you want it to be the "zero value" (false,
|
||||
zero, or empty string).
|
||||
|
||||
Minor fixes and improvements:
|
||||
|
||||
* Add a "Wait" modal with a progress bar. Not used yet but may be useful
|
||||
for long operations like Giant Screenshot or level saving to block input
|
||||
to the game while it's busy doing something. Can be tested using the
|
||||
cheat code "test wait screen"
|
||||
* Detect the presence of a touchscreen device and automatically disable
|
||||
on-screen touch hints during gameplay if not on a touch screen.
|
||||
* Mobile Linux: mark the Sketchy Maze launcher as supporting the mobile
|
||||
form-factor for the Phosh desktop shell especially.
|
||||
* Fix the Crusher doodad sometimes not falling until it hits the ground
|
||||
and stopping early on slower computers.
|
||||
* Small tweaks to player physics - acceleration increased from 0.025 to
|
||||
0.04 pixels per tick.
