Working on fishy facts offline:

• Copied TODOs from 20260712045712
• I did another private in-person playtest this morning and found a few more things I should fix.
• I think I'm going to trim the TODO down.
  • Instead of focusing on a demo, I think it makes more sense to get as much of the game's dialog and puzzles done instead.
  • This is because I want to lower the amount of risk when getting artists involved, and having all of the dialog and puzzles finalized in advance minimizes the amount of work we'd have to discard or add on later.
  • This also lets me focus on implementing the other mechanics and checking how much fun it is with playtesting
• That said, I think some QoL will be nice.
• I think it would be prudent to add a feature which records player data for analysis. Specifically, it should record:
  • How long does a player spend on a puzzle?
  • What is the size of their smallest and largest solution over time?
  • Did they find a solution, the small solution, and/or the large solution?
  • When does the player read certain dialogs?

TODO

• Map:
  • Popup to confirm exiting game
  • Show completion state of exhibit
  • Blockout of aquarium map
  • Clicking on different sections of the map zooms in so you can select an exhibit
  • Lock certain sections of the aquarium off based on progression
  • Open level select when clicking on dialog items instead of opening dialog directly
• Level Select:
  • Show completion state of puzzle in list
  • Use input normally used in puzzle scene for changing puzzles
  • Refactor exhibit to have animal information as an item.
• Puzzle:
  • Add cursor representing pivot
  • Show icons on leaks
  • Completion sound for any solution, smallest solution, and largest solution
  • Show text when any solution, the smallest solution, and the largest solution are found
  • Keep paths colored when form is in hand, maybe? I think this makes it harder to notice how tiles with undergrounds work
  • Move pivot when switching forms to avoid rotating around empty space, maybe?
  • Click and drag to select multiple
  • Allow moving multiple pieces at the same time
  • Border has an incorrect large size because the border is all one shape instead of multiple shapes
  • Adjust large size for leaks to 16
  • Add extra unnecessary stubs to stub level to show that stubs do not need to be part of the solution
• Additional puzzle mechanics:
  • Implement light emitter
  • Implement light receiver with additive color mixing
  • Implement mirrors
  • Implement wrapped puzzle bounds
  • Implement subtractive color mixing tile
  • Implement tile areas
• Visual Novel:
  • Popup to skip dialog during VN
  • Fade out other character during internal monologues
  • Add character emotions to each line
  • Show different sprites for each character emotion
• Stamp Rally:
  • Create the stamp rally booklet
  • Unlock the stamp rally booklet after visiting the gift store
  • Let the player open the stamp rally booklet on the map
  • Add stamp rally kiosk icon/popup to use on map
  • When at stamp rally kiosk, show page for current area and three buttons
  • Pressing each of the three buttons add the corresponding CMY layer to the stamp
  • Lock each of the three buttons based on whether or not the player has found all solutions, all small solutions, or all large solutions
  • Add outline to stamp after player applies all CMY stamp layers.
• Analytics:
  • Add analytics singleton
  • Record when a player enters and exits a scene
  • Record when a player solves a puzzle along with the area of that solution
  • Record when a flag is set
• Editor:
  • More efficient import/export string for puzzles (maybe base64 encoding?)
  • Change control icons based on mode state
  • Return to selection mode when menu is opened
  • Change the 3D cursor appearance when placement is invalid
  • Fix 3D cursor transparency overdraw
  • Implement HFlip and VFlip for Shape mode
  • Implement HFlip and VFlip for Tile mode
  • Draw shapes we are not currently editing in a different way in shape mode
  • Draw shapes we are not currently editing in a different way in tile mode
  • Add a way to regroup tiles into a new shape
  • Add preview for path that is about to be placed
  • Restrict path placement to valid locations
  • Automatically determine smallest solution
  • Automatically determine largest solution
