Otter Updates!
I've been pretty productive on coding stuff lately so with that comes some updates for Otter! Here's some of the things that have changed or been added lately in the dev branch:
* OgmoProject has a lot more utility methods now like GetValue() and GetLayerData(). If you need to check out level data before actually loading a level into a Scene this can be pretty useful.
* Added OgmoProject.RemapAsset() for when you need to assign a different path for an asset being referenced in your Ogmo projects. For example if you need to take the path of a tilemap from the ogmo project and reassign it to something else when being loaded into the game.
* Fixed a thing that I broke in SetHibox on Entities.
* Util.Clamp now supports Vector2 input and output.
* Added shortcuts to Scene methods like GetEntity<> on Entity just to make code a little bit less verbose at times.
* Added Button.LastPressed and Button.LastReleased. These are both timers that will count up since the last button press and release respectively. Pretty useful for doing input buffering type stuff, or waiting until an input has been released for some amount of time before changing state, and all that kind of stuff.
* Added GetFillRect() to NineSlice.
* Made Debugger.RegisterInstantCommand() public and added Util methods to go along with it. You can now add debug commands that can be used immediately instead of executing them at the next update. Also fixed some bugs in the debugger related to this.
* Fixed the rendering of GridCollider (it was too large by 1 pixel for each cell.)
* Added GetTileIndex() to Tilemap and GetIndex() to TileInfo.
* Texture.CopyPixels now actually works (warning: blittng operations are very slow.)
* More Collider parameter options in all of the Collide, Overlap, etc methods.
* Added Scene.GetEntitiesWith<> which is a weird way to grab a list of Entities that have a specific set of Components. This is probably very slow and should be used sparlingly, but it might be useful to some folk.
* Various small fixes and tweaks that don't really effect end users.
