Mirage Editor Backlog

18/03/2020 done:

* allow adding/removing additional dialogues and answers with a right click menu

Note:

Currently there can't be any orphaned answers - they must be linked to a question. I want to get rid of this limitation and will have to redesign things a bit.

20/03/2020 done:

* allow adding orphaned answers

* added canvas boundaries -> it can't be dragged infinitely anymore

21/03/2020 done:

* implement some algorithm to position the dialogue boxes automatically

* allow connecting/disconnecting/reconnecting questions and answers

* add a starting node -> connecting a question to it will make it an initial one

* allow connecting questions only to answers and vice-versa

* allow connecting an answer to only one subsequent question

* implement edit mode for all text -> double clicking on a box will allow you to modify its text

* serialize all data to the final JSON (parseable by the patcher)

* add connection dots automatically as they're needed, and remove dots if they were disconnected

* save positions of all boxes

22/03/2020 done:

* Played a lot with the quest editor and fixed various issues

* Clicking on the box will highlight it now. Options of the box will later appear in the left menu.

* Started implementing the left menu. Added basic switchable tabs for required and mutex quests.

25.03.2020 done:

* the diagram can now be zoomed in and out

28.03.2020 done:

* ditched a left menu design I was working on for the last few days

* show all dialogue types, actions, and subquests on one diagram

04.05.2020 done:

* mostly browsing the unfinished work

* fixed a few minor display glitches in project list

05.05.2020 done:

* added the backend for generating small diffs for project previews

06.05.2020 done:

* Added item icon caching -> opening a page for the first time should take seconds, then only miliseconds. This was crucial if we wanted to show item icons outside of editor on a regular page that's quickly switched.

* Added a skeleton of a project preview page

to do:

Make the project preview page functional -> make recipe lists showing correctly

07.05.2020 done:

* Make recipe list an additional HTML element

* switch to HTML5 shadow roots for the preview page

08.05.2020 done:

* start rewriting DB.js into a javascript ES6 module usable natively both clientside and serverside

09.05.2020 done:

* finish rewriting DB.js to ES6

* publish DB.mjs at github: https://github.com/pwmirage/editor

* describe DB.mjs internals: https://github.com/pwmirage/editor/wiki/PW-database

10.05.2020 done:

* add recipe tooltips in recipe lists (on hover)

to do:

* implement a javascript template engine (so that HTML-like code can include variables)

* finish the recipe lists preview page -> complete with diffs

11.05.2020 done:

* struggle with HTML templates -> not much progress

12.05.2020 done:

* finish HTML templates (https://github.com/pwmirage/ed…c1574/script/template.mjs)

* rewrite Recipe lists to those templates (https://github.com/pwmirage/ed…4b7207ec7/tpl/preview.tpl)

With the building blocks in place I should be able to pick up the pace on feature development now.

14.05.2020 done:

* optimize icon loading even further (loading from cache takes miliseconds instead of hundreds of miliseconds)

* optimize item loading (again, miliseconds instead of hundreds of miliseconds)

* add missing template functionality (conditions and loops)

* finish rewriting recipe lists to templates

* start showing real data in the preview pages

- minor issues found, will need to redesign preview data format a bit

15.05.2020 done:

* fix preview data format so that it can be rendered more easily -> WIP

* start showing real data in the preview pages
