This better matches CC2 behavior and also makes some very common
operations, like grabbing a cell's actor or terrain, way faster.
It also allows me to efficiently implement CC2's layer order when
checking for collisions; thin walls are checked before terrain, and
actors only afterwards. The upshot is that bowling balls no longer
destroy stuff on the other side of a thin wall!
I also did some minor optimizing, mostly by turning loops over an entire
cell's contents into checks for a single layer; Chromium now performs a
bulk test about 30% faster.
Downsides of this change:
- All kinds of stuff may have broken!
- It'll be a little difficult to ever emulate MSCC's curious behavior
when stacking terrain on top of items or other terrain. But not
impossible.
- It'll be far more difficult to emulate buggy Lynx (or maybe it's just
Tile World?) behavior where some combination of cloners and teleports
allow a ton of monsters to accumulate in a few cells. I guess I
wasn't planning on doing that anyway.
- Include links for the stock packs
- Show completion amount and total time for played packs
- Expose a list of all other packs the player has played
- Allow forgetting a pack
- Jump to the current level when reopening a pack
- Highlight the current level in the level browser, and scroll to it
Other gameplay changes/fixes that crept in:
- Ghosts no longer pick up red keys
- Doppelgangers now read their movement directly from players, so no
intermediate variables are necessary
- Spring mining is no longer possible
- Push recursion is detected and prevented
- Bowling balls will also blow up anything that runs into them
- Jump to result by clicking on the progress bar
- Include level titles in the progress bar hover text
Makes it a little easier to navigate lengthy test results.
I was right the first time, and I've proven it to myself now. I
originally made the change because I couldn't see any other way to fix
the ICEBERG replay from Steam CC1, but now, I do!
I don't know why I ever thought this was a separate pass; I think it was
just the easiest way to make smooth scrolling work when I first
implemented it on like day 2. Turns out it wasn't ever correct and has
all manner of subtle implications I'll be sorting out for ages.
This does make the turn-based stuff //way// simpler, though.
- Hide the key hints in portrait mode
- Make auto-scaling more robust; it now handles when the player root is
wider than the actual play area, it better understands the inventory
behavior in portrait mode, and it recognizes when it needs to shrink;
with these changes, the game actually fills the screen on both Firefox
and Chrome on my phone!
- Replace the text buttons with SVG icons
- Add a little more contrast to button edges
- Fix alignment of the heart/time/score counters in portrait mode
- Detect movement based on where the touch is relative to the level
viewport, not the entire play area (oof)
Mostly style nits, but also:
- Renamed some stuff in anticipation of removing GameEnded.
- Actor decisions are independent, so there's no need to do most of them
in the first part of a tic and the player in the second part; they can
all happen together in the second part.
- waiting_for_input was merged into turn_based, which I think makes it
easier to follow what's going on between tics. Although I just
realized it introduces a bug, so, better fix that next.
- The canvas didn't need to know if we were waiting or not if we just
force the tic offset to 1 while waiting. This also fixed some slight
jitter with force floors.
it basically skips the first frame of each turn-based movement. it's not TERRIBLE but the smooth movement is already really nice, we don't need to change it
- CCLP1 #81 requires pushing blocks off of blue walls, which is
impossible in CC2 but allowed in TW Lynx (unclear if this is a lynx
behavior or a tw bug)
- CCLP1 #89 has a tank start on a recessed wall and drive off of it,
expecting the recessed wall to be left alone, but under CC2 rules it
becomes a wall; such walls are now automatically converted to a new
tile, the "doubly recessed wall", which restores the expected behavior
without changing how recessed walls work in general
- CCLP4 #135 expects pressing a blue button to not affect blue tanks
that are currently in mid-slide
In addition, the behavior of blue buttons now matches the Lynx/Steam
behavior: the press is stored as a flag and queued until the tank is
next able to move.
