It's treated like a bool anyway, so might as well make it one.
This also necessitates updating every single instance where it or an
element inside it is used, too.
Looks like it was here from that arg passing stuff from earlier, as a
workaround to not pass args around. Well, there's no need to create an
extra UtilityClass now either, just use the one in the global namespace.
Previously, it existed solely to count the number of trinkets and
crewmates when loading a level, because we were keeping track of the
amount of them manually, incrementing and decrementing every time a
trinket or crewmate was added or removed, but loading a new level
represented a case that could potentially not be an increment or
decrement.
However, since the amount tracking is now handled automatically, this
function now does nothing, and can be safely removed.
Same principle as removing the separate variable to track number of
collected trinkets. This means it's less error-prone as we're no longer
tracking number of trinkets separately.
In the function that counts the number of trinkets, I would've liked to
have used std::count_if(). However, the most optimal way would require
using a lambda, and lambdas are too new for the C++ standard we're
using. So I just bit the bullet and counted them manually.
game.trinkets is supposed to be correlated with obj.collect, however why
not just count obj.collect directly?
This turns game.trinkets into a function, game.trinkets(), which will
directly count the number of collected trinkets and return it. This will
fix a few corner cases where the number of trinkets can desync with the
actual collection statuses of trinkets.
In order to keep save compatibility with previous versions of VVVVVV,
the game will still write the <trinkets> variable. However, it will not
read the <trinkets> variable from a save file.
It's a bit rude to put the user back at the main menu after toggling
something. Maybe they also wanted to do something else in the menu while
they're toggling MMMMMM, there's no reason to immediately put them back
there.
Whenever you collect a trinket, game.stat_trinkets gets updated (if
applicable) to signify the greatest amount of trinkets you have ever
collected in the game. However, custom levels shouldn't be able to
affect this, as their trinkets are not the same trinkets as the main
game.
It turns out that when the game warps moving platforms, it won't remove
the block from the position before they warped. Eventually, these blocks
will pile up and will never be removed, causing a memory leak.
I noticed that the code for going to the adjacent room when offscreen
and for warping instead if the room is warping was a bit
copy-and-pasted. To clean up the code a bit, there's now 5 separate
checks in gamelogic():
if (map.warpx)
if (map.warpy)
if (map.warpy && !map.warpx)
if (!map.warpy)
if (!map.warpx)
I made sure to preserve the previous weird horizontal warping behavior
that happens with vertical warping (thus the middle one), and to
preserve the frame ordering just in case there's something dependent on
the frame ordering.
The frame ordering is that first it will warp you horizontally, if
applicable, then it will warp you vertically, if applicable. Then if you
have vertical warping only, that weird horizontal warp. Then it will
screen transition you vertically, if applicable. Then it will screen
transition you horizontally, if applicable.
To explain the weird horizontal warp with the vertical warp: apparently
if an entity is far offscreen enough, and if that entity is not the
player, it will be warped horizontally during a vertical warp. The
points at which it will warp is 30 pixels farther out than normal
horizontal warping.
I think someone ran into this before, but my memory is fuzzy. The best I
can recall is that they were probably createentity()ing a high-speed
horizontally-moving enemy in a vertically warping room, only to discover
that said enemy kept warping horizontally.
As a result of the previous commit, textboxclass::clear() is now unused.
textboxclass::firstcreate() was already useless. So remove both those
functions and initialize the values in the textboxclass constructor.
This removes the variables graphics.ntextbox, as well as removing
'active' from each text box object. Thus, all text boxes are really
real, and you don't have to check its 'active' variable.
Something that's slightly annoying is that in order to make the vector
of text boxes be properly used, the text box cannot remove itself.
Because the text box does not know it's in a vector. So move the removal
of the text box to drawgui() instead.
