These animations are how evidence and profile images are added to and removed 
from conversation. A macro should be made to easily present and remove relevant 
evidence/profiles, which can control the side of the screen, the image 
displayed, and the sound that plays when it happens.

oops

bg prosecution
fg pbench
char payne
grey
"It doesn't matter whether she actually did it or not."

"The point is, she confessed even with no hard evidence against her."

"{econfident}If she hadn't, no amount of poisoned Coldkiller X could have 
indicted her."
#Payne's speaking animation doesn't trigger with current setup, but if I move 
dialogue to below #character instantiation, Payne is colored

Fixed by changing base widget draw to offset child positions

able to give objects a timeout easily

artlayer bg/detention
portlayer a
artlayer fg/detention
portlayer b

char mia layer=a
"Why am I in jail?"
char gumshoe layer=b
"You can see that she is in jail..."
char mia layer=a
"But WHY?"

Maybe take it out? Have a way to continue if it's not continued automatically?

defaults.mcro a travesty. Need a global namespace for properties that AREN'T 
saved with saved games, to define global static settings for games. Then there 
can for instance, be properties that are literally only saved across scripts, 
or across macros.

Have to keep global as default for legacy, but many of the special properties 
can be localized. Can possibly leave off the actual namespace, and have the 
name of the prop itself set to where it is located:

setns namespace=global variable=_cr_allow_save
setns namespace=local variable=_cr_back_button


#Changes _cr_allow_save forever, wont save value with saved games
set _cr_allow_save false 

#changes _cr_back_button in local (script) namespace
set _cr_back_button false

.

Either macro or python controlled.

* different animations for particles, random chance
* particles individually animate
* speed/direction
* color
* size
* fade

- butterflies
- confetti

Textbox code can't easily work on slow framerates because it doesn't update 
timing correctly. On android, text prints a word or two words at a time instead 
of smoothly, even though other animation is smooth enough.

The "fade name=(whatever) start=100 end=0" only seems to work if the object in 
question has already been defined on the screen, which means that if you want 
to fade in you have to use the "bg name=(whatever) fade" command. However, when 
I append "speed=.25" to the end it doesn't respond. How can I control the 
fade-in speed?

(We may want to incorporate this into the fadein/fadeout macros)

Please define some standardization for how the sounds should be organized.

instead of if keys[K_a], should be if assets.held("left") or if 
assets.triggered("enter")

macro myphoenix z name=
char phoenix z=$z name=$name
endmacro

myphoenix 5 name=1
"Hello I am at z=5"
delete name=1

Doesn't loop

They are little more than a shell anyway

too much code in one place, might be best to separate it

Needs some more focus here

Need a widget to choose files, for now just for the gif converter.

In the games, there is a silhouette of the player's character when they begin a 
conversation with someone in investigation (see 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OeLZMto4hGc&t=6m27s and 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5c-vIpTZ0nM&t=3m54s). We should implement those 
backgrounds and transitions, and also change the styles of the buttons to match.

Additionally, the graphic rips of the character buttons 
(http://www.court-records.net/rips.htm) are solid, while in the game they are 
lined. This leads me to believe that the game uses an overlay or transparency 
to achieve its look. I think we should emulate that to make the addition of 
custom graphics/buttons easier.

Yikes, he doesn't keep his z-index

Complete transition from other_screen style (which forces an object to first 
screen if in single screen mode, but only on object creation) to 
screen_settings="try_bottom", which dynamically moves an object to first screen 
if it needs to, at all times. Should eliminate bugs when switching modes.

Very minor, but in the real game only the top screen shakes.

Sometimes we want certain sound effects resulting from actions during character 
animation (e.g. a sound when Gant claps his hands). What is the best way to 
accomplish this? Can/should it be specified in the character folder? To me, 
that makes the most sense.

Should be able to add highlights for gui Button.

"Port" is a deprecated PyWright command - the folder in which the character 
sprites live should be changed to reflect that.

Quotes in text sometimes face the wrong direction, due to ascii encoding.

Enter aao id or path to html, destination folder, game title, click "go", 
redirect output to screen (progress bar? hard)

from matx.

crossbuttons need to highlight

Add a command/feature to fade/tint images to greyscale

A way to set a permanent blipsound

Was a nicer way to build sprites, and the subsurface method might provide some 
loading and display speedups. Test to ensure this is worth it.

Schedule series of animations to be played for an object?

Ceres believes there is currently no way to achieve these effects 
programmatically. Is this true?

All of the special draw effects for sprites are buried deep in ugly nested if 
statements in the sprite class. Needs cleaning. With the android target (which 
is missing numpy) and eventual further configuration options, it needs to 
toggle between different ways of doing techniques more easily.

As far as I know, these are the last main user facing feature to implement.

Should look like game and highlight properly, and be easily replaceable

There is a huge disconnect between what's going on in the wrightscript, and 
when the screen is actually refreshed. For a long time, each line in 
wrightscript translates to one screen refresh. This means that if you create 3 
or 4 objects, meaning for them all to appear at once, they actually visibly pop 
in a split second after one another. Fading the screen up from black when you 
add more than one object makes a noticable flash.

In the old 2.0 code, I had drawoff/drawon commands to control this, so before 
an important effect, you say "drawoff", build it up, and then say "drawon". I 
half ported this to the current codebase, but never announced it or made sure 
it worked.

I'm not sure that's the best solution either. It might be enough to ALWAYS run 
through all lines of code that don't block before displaying the screen.

Currently, fancase creators have to customize animations for the zoomed-out 
court as a foreground animation. Adding the small sprites, already 
appropriately positioned, and writing some macros would make it much easier

tbon - turn on testimony blink animation
tboff - turn off testimony blink animation
use these macros in the cross exam code instead of tbon() tboff() functions

Write a small interpreter to convert aao expression to pywright expression. 
Make macros for the main aao functions.

is_string(some_var) ->

macro aao_is_string
blah
set aaox true
endmacro

set aaox $some_var
aao_is_string
is aaox=true jump

x+abs(y)>22 ->

setvar aao1 $x
setvar aao2 $y
macro abs
setvar aaox abs($aaox)
endmacro

setvar aaox $aao2
abs
add aao1 $aao2

saving every script change is a bit weird, especially when different devs have 
different sized scripts (up to aao with one script per case), let user set time 
interval and it can save every x minutes.

Not sure what to do here

Gui to interact with the gif converter: enter gif path (url or path), 
destination directory, and path to gifsicle (with default path), button to 
convert, and a preview
