After looking at pull request #446, I got a bit annoyed that we have TWO
variables, key.textentrymode and ed.textentry, that we rolled ourselves
to track the state of something SDL already provides us a function to
easily query: SDL_IsTextInputActive(). We don't need to have either of
these two variables, and we shouldn't.
So that's what I do in this patch. Both variables have been axed in
favor of using this function, and I just made a wrapper out of it, named
key.textentry().
For bonus points, this gets rid of the ugly NO_CUSTOM_LEVELS and
NO_EDITOR ifdef in main.cpp, since text entry is enabled when entering
the script list and disabled when exiting it. This makes the code there
easier to read, too.
Furthermore, apparently key.textentrymode was initialized to *true*
instead of false... for whatever reason. But that's gone now, too.
Now, you'd think there wouldn't be any downside to using
SDL_IsTextInputActive(). After all, it's a function that SDL itself
provides, right?
Wrong. For whatever reason, it seems like text input is active *from the
start of the program*, meaning that what would happen is I would go into
the editor, and find that I can't move around nor place tiles nor
anything else. Then I would press Esc, and then suddenly become able to
do those things I wanted to do before.
I have no idea why the above happens, but all I can do is to just insert
an SDL_StopTextInput() immediately after the SDL_Init() in main.cpp. Of
course, I have to surround it with an SDL_IsTextInputActive() check to
make sure I don't do anything extraneous by stopping input when it's
already stopped.
Okay, so basically here's the include layout that this game now
consistently uses:
[The "main" header file, if any (e.g. Graphics.h for Graphics.cpp)]
[blank line]
[All system includes, such as tinyxml2/physfs/utfcpp/SDL]
[blank line]
[All project includes, such as Game.h/Entity.h/etc.]
And if applicable, another blank line, and then some special-case
include screwy stuff (take a look at editor.cpp or FileSystemUtils.cpp,
for example, they have ifdefs and defines with their includes).
Including a header file inside another header file means a bunch of
files are going to be unnecessarily recompiled whenever that inner
header file is changed. So I minimized the amount of header files
included in a header file, and only included the ones that were
necessary (system includes don't count, I'm only talking about includes
from within this project). Then the includes are only in the .cpp files
themselves.
This also minimizes problems such as a NO_CUSTOM_LEVELS build failing
because some file depended on an include that got included in editor.h,
which is another benefit of removing unnecessary includes from header
files.
I ran the game through cppcheck and it spat out a bunch of member
attributes that weren't being initialized. So I initialized them.
In the previous version of this commit, I added constructors to
GraphicsResources, otherlevelclass, labclass, warpclass, and finalclass,
but flibit says this changes the code flow enough that it's risky to
merge before 2.4, so I got rid of those constructors, too.
It's sometimes unwanted by people, and it's unwanted enough that there
exist instructions to hexedit the binary to remove it (
https://distractionware.com/forum/index.php?topic=3247.0 ).
Fun fact, the unfocus pause didn't exist in 2.0.
It seems like they were unfinished. This commit makes them properly
work.
When a track is stopped with stopmusic() or musicfadeout(),
resumemusic() will resume from where the track stopped. musicfadein()
does the same but does it with a gradual fade instead of suddenly
playing it at full volume.
I changed several interfaces around for this. First, setting currentsong
to -1 when music is stopped is handled in the hook callback that gets
called by SDL_mixer whenever the music stops. Otherwise, it'd be
problematic if currentsong was set to -1 when the song starts fading out
instead of when the song actually ends.
Also, music.play() has a few optional arguments now, to reduce the
copying-and-pasting of music code.
Lastly, we have to roll our own tracker of music length by using
SDL_GetPerformanceCounter(), because there's no way to get the music
position if a song fades out. (We could implicitly keep the music
position if we abruptly stopped the song using Mix_PauseMusic(), and
resume it using Mix_ResumeMusic(), but ignoring the fact that those two
functions are also used on the unfocus-pause (which, as it turns out, is
basically a non-issue because the unfocus-pause can use some other
functions), there's no equivalent for fading out, i.e. there's no
"fade out and pause when it fully fades out" function in SDL_mixer.) And
then we have to account for the unfocus-pause in our manual tracker.
Other than that, these commands are now fully functional.
Each check has been put in its own variable, so the final conditional is
more readable, and the ifdef is no longer right smack in the middle of
an if-statement.
Also the control flow has been changed (the "else" has been removed from
the shortcut-checking conditional) so I could put the variables closer
to the actual conditional itself. I don't think it affects anything,
though.
This patch allows the use of pressing F11 to toggle fullscreen, as well as
allowing the use of Right Command when using the Command+Enter/F shortcut on
macOS. Apparently Alt+Enter isn't the only shortcut to toggle fullscreen,
Alt+F also works, which I didn't know before.
I'm adding F11 as a shortcut because it's a far more natural shortcut to
toggle fullscreen than this Alt+Enter or Alt+F business, which seems to be a
relic mimicking some other games and some Microsoft stuff?
I'm also adding RCommand+Enter/F because I see no reason not to. If you can
use RAlt on non-macOS, why can't you use RCommand on macOS, too?
I also cleaned up the formatting relating to the shortcut code, and made sure
the closing parenthesis was outside the ifdef so my text editor wouldn't
highlight the parenthesis inside the non-macOS ifdef-branch as a dangling
closing parenthesis, because it assumes the one in the branch above is the
actual closing parenthesis and doesn't parse macros.
If you Alt+Tabbed while in fullscreen mode, the game would stay in
fullscreen instead of switching to windowed, but there was a chance it
would EITHER use the same internal resolution which would mismatch the
window resolution (don't know when exactly this happens, but still) and
stay being in an actual windowed mode, OR switch between
fullscreen/windowed every other time you re-focused the window, which is
annoying.
Now, whenever you Alt+Tab in fullscreen, the game will be in windowed
mode, and then when you re-focus it will go back to fullscreen.
Consistently.
This uses utfcpp combined with a custom font, in the form of a PNG and text file. By default, the game acts exactly as it did before; custom fonts can be provided by third parties.
There is a long-standing bug with the script editor where if you delete
the last character of a line, it IMMEDIATELY deletes the line you're on,
and then moves your cursor back to the previous line. This is annoying,
to say the least.
The reason for this is that, in the sequence of events that happens in
one frame (known as frame ordering), the code that backspaces one
character from the line when you press Backspace is ran BEFORE the code
to remove an empty line if you backspace it is ran. The former is
located in key.Poll(), and the latter is located in editorinput().
Thus, when you press Backspace, the game first runs key.Poll(), sees
that you've pressed Backspace, and dutifully removes the last character
from a line. The line is now empty. Then, when the game gets around to
the "Are you pressing Backspace on an empty line?" check in
editorinput(), it thinks that you're pressing Backspace on an empty
line, and then does the usual line-removing stuff.
And actually, when it does the check in editorinput(), it ACTUALLY asks
"Are you pressing Backspace on THIS frame and was the line empty LAST
frame?" because it's checking against its own copy of the input buffer,
before copying the input buffer to its own local copy. So the problem
only happens if you press and hold Backspace for more than 1 frame.
It's a small consolation prize for this annoyance, getting to
tap-tap-tap Backspace in the hopes that you only press it for 1 frame,
while in the middle of something more important to do like, oh I don't
know, writing a script.
So there are two potential solutions here:
(1) Just change the frame ordering around.
This is risky to say the least, because I'm not sure what behavior
depends on exactly which frame order. It's not like it's key.Poll()
and then IMMEDIATELY afterwards editorinput() is run, it's more
like key.Poll(), some things that obviously depend on key.Poll()
running before them, and THEN editorinput(). Also, editorinput() is
only one possible thing that could be ran afterwards, on the next
frame we could be running something else entirely instead.
(2) Add a kludge variable to signal when the line is ALREADY empty so
the game doesn't re-check the already-empty line and conclude that
you're already immediately backspacing an empty line.
I went with (2) for this commit, and I've added the kludge variable
key.linealreadyemptykludge.
However, that by itself isn't enough to fix it. It only adds about a
frame or so of delay before the game goes right back to saying "Oh,
you're ALREADY somehow pressing backspace again? I'll just delete this
line real quick" and the behavior is basically the same as before,
except now you have to hit Backspace for TWO frames or less instead of
one in order to not have it happen.
What we need is to have a delay set as well, when the game deletes the
last line of a char. So I set ed.keydelay to 6 as well if editorinput()
sses that key.linealreadyemptykludge is on.
