Oooooooh, fancy slow-motion effects!

tl;dr: I added dynamic slow-motion and animation-state prediction during navigation preselection!

What happened last week?

Highlights

I added dynamic slow-motion when pressing down while selecting a new navigation target.

This consists of rendering a ghost of a player in their future position and in their future pose (animation frame) for a given future time.
This is useful during navigation-preselection, so you can see where the computer player will be when your human player gets to their destination.

Add support for scaling individual checkboxes.
Reduce inspector checkbox size.
Fix a couple ScaffolderTween issues.
Replace usages of the normal Tween with my new custom ScaffolderTween.
Update LevelSelectScreen to auto-expand the last level played.
Fix some issues with how focus is handled with the level-select-screen up/down support.
Add support for slowing-time while showing navigation pre-selection.
Add a desaturation effect when in slow-motion mode.
Fix a bug when ScaffolderTween objects are freed.
Update PlayerAnimator playback speed to match slow-motion speed.
Scale min-velocity-to-maintain-collision-hack values to account for velocity-scaling for current slow-motion rate.
Refactor where PlayerAnimator params get configured.
Add navigation-preselection animation-state prediction.
Create a new HTML build.

Spent some time debugging window-resize events in the HTML build.
:( Seeing some slow performance in the HTML build that I’ll need to take a look at.

Fix an issue with occasional negative edge durations.
Make predictions not desaturated.
Fix prediction animation position to account for animation speed.
Update predictions to face the player in the correct direction.
Fix a rare movement-calculation epsilon bug.
Fix squirrel prediction animations.
Fix a rare waypoint calculation epsilon edge-case bug.
Fix initial visibility of predictions.
Fix squirrel prediction directions when at rest.
Fix animation speeds to match movement speeds.
Fix an issue with the animation speed stacking on itself.
Render computer-player navigation trajectories during slow-motion; make this configurable.
Make nav-trajectory annotations configurable per-player.
Tween navigation prediction state as the preselect path changes.
Create a path-segment draw utility.
Start implementing a navigation trajectory pulse animation.
Finish implementing a navigation trajectory pulse animation.

Spent an embarrassing amount of time stuck on a simple bug where I was using modulus instead of division...

Fix a bug with invalid playback.get_elapsed_time_scaled when the instruction set is empty.
Fix an issue with the border width shrinking around the destination-marker cone-end-point.
Fix kinks in path annotations.
Add support for configuring whether the nav-pulse animation grows from start to finish, or remains as a small sub-segment that slides from start to finish.
Add a fade-in tween for new nav trajectory annotations.
Add a fade-out tween for nav trajectory annotations when toggling them on/off with slow-motion mode.
Add a fade-out tween for nav pulse animations.

Next, I'll probably be doing a subset of the following:

Add support for in-air navigation destinations if the click position is far enough from any surface.
Add support for auto-zooming-out and panning the camera when the user is trying to navigate close to the edge of the game region (and back in if not).
Add support for lazy-loading platform graph files separately from the rest of the game file.

I'll be doing a little less the next couple weeks, since I'll be spending time with family.

🎉 Cheers!
