Major Engine Enhancements:
- Complete FOV (Field of View) system with perspective rendering
- UIGrid.perspective property for entity-based visibility
- Three-layer overlay colors (unexplored, explored, visible)
- Per-entity visibility state tracking
- Perfect knowledge updates only for explored areas
- Advanced Pathfinding Integration
- A* pathfinding implementation in UIGrid
- Entity.path_to() method for direct pathfinding
- Dijkstra maps for multi-target pathfinding
- Path caching for performance optimization
- GUI Text Input Widgets
- TextInputWidget class with cursor, selection, scrolling
- Improved widget with proper text rendering and input handling
- Example showcase of multiple text input fields
- Foundation for in-game console and chat systems
- Performance & Architecture Improvements
- PyTexture copy operations optimized
- GameEngine update cycle refined
- UIEntity property handling enhanced
- UITestScene modernized
Test Suite:
- Interactive visibility demos showing FOV in action
- Pathfinding comparison (A* vs Dijkstra)
- Debug utilities for visibility and empty path handling
- Sizzle reel demo combining pathfinding and vision
- Multiple text input test scenarios
This commit brings McRogueFace closer to a complete roguelike engine
with essential features like line-of-sight, intelligent pathfinding,
and interactive text input capabilities.
