This also replaces some createmenu()s with returnmenu()s as needed even
when said createmenu()s already didn't go to the main menu.
Now when you exit the level editor, you'll be selecting the "level
editor" option in "play levels", and if you exit from a level you'll
still be selecting that level in the levels list.
Furthermore, regardless of what you're exiting, your cursor position
will be remembered.
You were able to mismatch the color of the quicksave/telesave summary
and the text/background by pressing Esc when in the "continue" menu,
then pressing ACTION on "no, return".
This commit fixes that bug by putting the map.settowercolour(3) inside
the Menu::continuemenu creation code itself. However, since the
Menu::youwannaquit code does map.nexttowercolour() right after it does
the game.createmenu(), we also need to put the map.nexttowercolour()
before the game.createmenu() beforehand so it doesn't mess up the cyan
color that Menu::continuemenu sets.
Additionally, I removed the map.settowercolour() from the input handling
of Menu::play, as it's superfluous.
Unless it's the main menu, or unless it's not the same menu. Whether or
not the menu is the same is left up to the caller, because some menus
could be the same but use different names, so we can't simply
automatically check that the names are different and assume that they
aren't the same menu.
This temp variable isn't used anywhere else, and even if it was it's set
to something every time it's used, so there's no risk of this commit
breaking any backwards compatibility.
Looks like it was a remnant from the Flash days, and the "delete your
saves if you want to use slowdown" was a bit too mean so it stopped
being a thing in the C++ version.
Much more stylistic, you don't need to repeat "game.currentmenuname" for
each case, and you don't need to deal with the dangling first "if" that
doesn't have an "else".
I presume it was meant to have the text of the currently-selected menu
option inside it, before the code switched over to using the indice of
the currently-selected menu instead? Would've been more error-prone to
use the text name directly.
Stringly-typed things are bad, because if you make a typo when typing
out a string, it's not caught at compile-time. And in the case of this
menu system, you'd have to do an excessive amount of testing to uncover
any bugs caused by a typo. Why do that when you can just use an enum and
catch compile-time errors instead?
Also, you can't use switch-case statements on stringly-typed variables.
So every menu name is now in the enum Menu::MenuName, but you can simply
refer to a menu name by just prefixing it with Menu::.
Unfortunately, I've had to change the "continue" menu name to be
"continuemenu", because "continue" is a keyword in C and C++. Also, it
looks like "timetrialcomplete4" is an unused menu name, even though it
was referenced in Render.cpp.
If you have invincibility mode or slowdown enabled, the game will not
let you select the Secret Lab, Time Trials, or No Death Mode. To make
this clearer, this commit grays out said options if they are disabled
for that reason.
Previously, the code looked something like:
else { if (...) {...} else { if (...) {...} else { etc. } }
And kept indenting every time there was an else-if.
This commit puts all else-ifs on the same indentation level, so it
doesn't slowly push the code to the right.
If we need it (which I don't think we will be anytime soon) we can
always just get it back through source control. Otherwise, it simply
gets in the way.
Firstly, menu options are no longer ad-hoc objects, and are added by
using Game::option() (this is the biggest change). This removes the
vector Game::menuoptionsactive, and Game::menuoptions is now a vector of
MenuOption instead of std::string.
Secondly, the manual tracker variable of the amount of menu options,
Game::nummenuoptions, has been removed, in favor of using vectors
properly and using Game::menuoptions::size().
As a result, a lot of copy-pasted code has been removed from
Game::createmenu(), mostly due to having to have different versions of
menus depending on whether or not we have certain defines, or having an
mmmmmm.vvv file inside the VVVVVV directory. In the old days, you
couldn't just add or remove a menu option conveniently, you had to
shuffle around the position of every other menu option too, which
resulted in lots of copy-pasted code. But now this copy-pasted code has
been de-duplicated, at least in Game::createmenu().
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.
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.
This removes the variables obj.nentity and obj.nlinecrosskludge, as well
as removing the 'active' attribute from the entity class object. Now
every entity you access is guaranteed to be real and you don't have to
check the 'active' variable.
The biggest part of this is changing createentity() to modify a
newly-created entity object and push it back instead of already
modifying an indice in obj.entities.
As well, removing an entity now uses the new obj.removeentity() function
and removeentity_iter() macro.
Most of the code was already commented out, and those comments were
removed in earlier commits, but this removes all recording variables
from Game and simplifies the game-gamestate handling in main.cpp a
little bit.
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.
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.
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.
