This is the "Behavioral logic", "Basic Physics", and "Collisions with
walls" trio.
They were originally aligned but then I removed global args, thus
misaligning them. So now I'm re-aligning them back again.
Surprisingly not that many. It looks like at one point in development,
damage blocks were created for every single spike in the Tower, before
it was too laggy so they switched to directly checking collision with
the tile instead.
This removes a bunch of commented-out code that was clearly kept from
the Flash version, even though the Flash graphics API is much different
than SDL's. Also removes a bunch of TODOs that either say nothing, or
say something whose meaning has been totally lost to time due to being
completely vague, or something that's already been done and someone
forgot to remove the TODO.
Most of this is telecookie/quickcookie stuff, which was used in the
Flash version, but there's no longer any such thing as a save cookie.
Also one TODO that says to make a function that's now been made.
Unlike, say, the scriptclass i/j/k stuff, these tempstrings are only
purely visual, and there's no known glitches to manipulate them anyway.
Thus I think it's safe to make this cleanup.
It looks like this may have been used earlier in development, judging
from the name, obviously, but right now it seems like it's used as an
error message if a main game level is asked for an invalid room (well,
only two of them - the Lab and Warp Zone). It should probably be
formalized into an error system, if we want to keep teststring, and also
people would never see it anyway because I don't think there's a
reliable and consistent way to trigger loading a non-existent room.
I have seen someone manage to load a non-existent Warp Zone room only
one time, but even then this teststring didn't pop up. So this
teststring doesn't even trigger in the right circumstances.
Also, when it does pop up, as far as I can tell it will stay onscreen,
which is kinda annoying. So I'm just removing this ancient relic from
the code.
To be fair, it was more on the level of entire functions using different
indentation than the surrounding code, but it's not consistent enough
for me to justify leaving it alone.
Looks like this function was created because editorclass::load() takes
in a string by reference, not by value, and thus mutates it afterwards,
so if you passed a string in when you didn't want it to be mutated, bad
things would happen.
However, a better workaround for the above issue would simply to
duplicate the string and pass that string instead, thus the original
string wouldn't be affected.
To reiterate, I just want to remove the mixed indentation that just
randomly pops up in the middle of a file, because it gets annoying.
Thus, the indentation of a particular piece of code should simply match
the surrounding code. And I consider it completely fine that this file
switches from indenting 4-wide spaces to tabs starting from
Graphics::setcol() onwards. I don't think it's worth it to untabify
Graphics::setcol() and below.
This removes all indentation that suddenly switches in the middle of a
function. Most particularly egregious offenses are the ones made by the
person who has 2-wide tabs, but keeps tabbing up to make each
indentation level match up with the 4-wide spaces, so to them (and only
them) it will look just fine, but since by default tabstop is 8-wide,
their lines are pushed off all the way to the right.
This changes something like UtilityClass::String to help.String,
basically. It takes less typing this way, and is a neat effect of having
global args actually be global variables.
Now that it does nothing due to some earlier changes, it's a useless
function that does nothing. (Well, it was already a useless function,
but those earlier changes made it clearer just exactly how useless it
is.) So remove that function and remove all its callsites.
'swfStage' gets set to 'stage' in updategraphicsmode() but... that does
absolutely nothing, because they both contain exactly the same thing.
And these variables aren't referenced anywhere else. So I'm removing
both of these variables.
Although it keeps getting set to true and false in various places, it
never once gets checked, essentially deeming it a variable that's used
but does nothing.
The 'r', 'g', and 'b' arguments do absolutely nothing. Except unlike
Graphics::drawtile(), there's only one version of Graphics::drawtile2(),
so just remove those args and update callers.
The 'r', 'g', and 'b' arguments do absolutely nothing, even though
they're used in the version of Graphics::drawtile() that's more used. So
delete the other version without those extra arguments, and then remove
the extra arguments from the remaining version. And then update callers.
