Since "if (graphics.resumegamemode)" and "if (menuoffset > 0)" both do
the same thing, they've been combined with an "or" conjunction.
As well, the map.extrarow check in maplogic() has been refactored to use
a variable instead of duplicating the entire code block. Not that it
matters anyway, because the difference between 240 and 230 is only 10
pixels, far short of the 25 pixel increment that bringing the menu up
and down uses, and both 240 and 230 integer-divided by 25 have the same
non-remainder value of 9.
Otherwise the screen will shake too fast for my liking.
Also I'm planning to add an FPS limiting option later (because right
now, un-capping the FPS is pretty wasteful and eats up lots of
resources, especially since I have only a 60hz monitor), and it'd feel
weird if screen shaking updated every delta timestep.
This fixes entities being drawframe 0 for 1 frame when being first
created. Incidentally, this also fixes entities created during
completestop being the player sprite, too, which is something not many
people notice.
For some reason, it was put near the start of gamerender(), even though
since it handles edge-flipping it seems like it should be in the logic
function already.
This makes sure entity animations don't animate as fast as possible, and
also fixes edge-flipping on normal surfaces.
This prevents undefined behavior because we use oldxp/oldyp to do linear
interpolation.
It's also initialized in entclass::entclass(), just to be sure. And I've
deduplicated the regular xp/yp initialization in createentity(), too.
I've added a function Graphics::lerp() which simply interpolates between
two values given a certain alpha value. It's just like drawing a
straight line between two points.
Also, Graphics now has an `alpha` attribute, and it is set on every
deltatime update to be used in linear interpolation.
Ok, and this is where the fun starts.
In an ideal world, this would be the end of this patch. However, of
course, there are many, MANY places in the game that update
fixed-timestep timers DIRECTLY inside the render function, which is not
ideal because it means those timers go super fast.
I'll have to fix those later.
Ok, NOW indent it. I didn't indent it previously because the diffs are
annoying to read if there's an indent that doesn't otherwise change
anything (and even now it's pretty annoying to read).
Alright, this is the start of the over-30-FPS patch!
First things first, we'll need to make it possible to have a separate
deltatime loop outside of the fixed timestep loop. And for that, we
can't be using SDL_Delay(), as SDL_Delay() (as you might imagine) blocks
the whole program.
Instead we'll be using this thing called an accumulator. It looks at how
long the previous poll took (the raw deltatime), and lets timesteps pass
accordingly.
On a side note, I've had to split the `time` and `timePrev` declaration
each onto their own separate line, otherwise there's undefined behavior
from `time` not being initialized.
I use `accumulator = fmodf(...)` instead of `accumulator -=
timesteplimit` because otherwise it'll fast-forward if it's behind,
which is a jarring thing to see.
Also in preparation for what's going to come down the over-30-FPS road,
I've also added `deltatime` and `alpha`. `deltatime` is going to be used
if the game is in slowdown mode, and `alpha` is going to be used for
linear interpolation of animations.
By the way, what was the main game loop previously (and is now the new
timestep loop) is now in an extra set of curly braces, but I haven't
indented it yet to reduce the noise in this commit.
This prevents being able to "roll over" the amount of minutes to 0 (by
simply waiting for the timer to tick past one hour) and being able to
get a result of 00:13 when your result is really 01:00:13.
By looking only at the minutes, the game would read 01:00:13 as 00:13
instead. So simply add the amount of hours to the time trial result.
This is needed for MinGW when compiling C++98, apparently. I put it in
an if-guard because otherwise there'll be a warning from MY compiler
about redefinitions.
If you exited to the menu normally (i.e. got on a code path that went
through Game::quittomenu()), the menu music wouldn't play. This is
because FILESYSTEM_unmountassets() was put after music.play(6). So the
game would play the custom level's track 6, and then unmount it, which
meant it could no longer play track 6, but there's nothing telling the
game to play track 6 again. So I just changed the frame ordering around.
I also added a comment to make sure anyone reading the code is aware of
the frame order dependency.
If you exited from the editor, custom assets would not be unmounted. But
I made sure to put the FILESYSTEM_unmountassets() before the
music.play(6) because otherwise the menu music wouldn't play.
You could also exit to the menu from a custom level using the
rollcredits() command, so I made sure to put a
FILESYSTEM_unmountassets() when returning to the menu from the credits
as well. I also made sure to put it before the music.playef(18) so
there's no risk of the sound effect not playing properly, or not playing
the non-level-specific one.
I added a comment to both FILESYSTEM_unmountasset()s to make sure anyone
reading the code is aware of the frame order dependency.
This is really awful, but there's not much we can do.
TinyXML-2 no matter what will never stop on newlines, so without
changing the XML parser, this is the best we can do - just remove the
"\n " (that's a linefeed plus exactly 12 spaces) if it
appears at the end of the contents of an edentity tag.
Also a giant comment for good measure.
Looks like duplicate player entities persisting across rooms is a
semi-useful feature used by some levels. Still, though, it's a bit of a
nuisance to have duplicate player entities persisting across game
sessions. And levels can't rely on this persistence anyway, anyone could
just close the game and re-open it to get rid of the duplicate entities
regardless.
If a trinket or crewmate ID is out-of-bounds, it will not be created.
This is not only because the `collect`/`customcollect` check in
entityclass::createentity() would then be out-of-bounds, but also
touching it would also be out-of-bounds, too.
Display trinkets will always be created if the ID is out-of-bounds.
Apparently some people (@AllyTally) have been creating display trinkets
with IDs of -1 in order to get a display trinket that always shows up,
which is rather horrifying. But it makes sense, there's a lot more
nonzero int values than there are the amount of int values that are
zero, so it's fairly likely that the `collect` check will always come up
to be true (nonzero). Also, it's more useful to be able to have a
display trinket that always shows up without having to collect a trinket
beforehand, than it is to have it not be created (because technically by
default, you're already in the world where you don't have it created).
Display trinkets still have their `para` set to their ID, though, and if
they managed to gain an `onentity` of 1, bad things could happen... So
just to be sure, I added INBOUNDS checks to crewmates and trinkets in
entityclass::updateentities() so no UB will happen if you collect a
crewmate/trinket with an out-of-bounds ID. Also, I de-duplicated the
`collect`/`customcollect` setting, too.
The flashy color of the elephant can be hard on people's eyes,
especially if they're the type who want screen effects disabled because
they might have epilepsy. The elephant takes up a good 3/4ths of the
screen, you know. If screen effects are disabled, the elephant will use
color 22, which is a neutral gray.
I'm only adding this because the VVVVVV speedrun mods (@tzann, @mohoc)
invalidate all runs that have the elephant texture removed, even though
many people would be looking at a potentially epilepsy-inducing image
many times a day grinding 100% speedruns. (Imo, their justification for
this is flimsy at best.)
