Simulator / API Tasklist

[SuperAuguste]

• custom panic handler to show panic causes to user
• Improve reloaders
  • Windows
  • Linux
  • Mac
• Fix wasm4.blit
• Explore making more wasm4.zig functions use structs for readability
• There should be an E2E example (as if it were being written by a user)
• Allow switching between 8-bit and 16-bit color?

[JerwuQu]

I'll throw in a few small tasks too just to keep track of them

• control list on game page
• SVG console border
• replace [Z] & [X] with [A] & [B] in embedded font (also for firmware), also add Start, Select, and Joystick Click
• pull in pending audio engine fixes from WASM-4 (currently in testing/review) EDIT: Not relevant if PCM comes in.
• more accurate neopixel colors in simulator ui (make brightness logarithmic perhaps?)

Watcher stuff from #32 (comment)

• Watcher should build once directly when running zig build watch
• unable to check cache: stat file '(ROOT)/src/cart.ld' failed: FileNotFound errors when running zig build watch
• Placing the zig root source file in the root (rather than e.g. a src/ subdir) will cause the watcher to watch all files in the whole root dir, including zig-cache which causes errors and breaking the watcher whenever the cache changes. EDIT: Solved using watch_dirs watch: add watch_dirs option #33.
• Watcher is finicky if wanting to have auto-converted assets because source assets should be watched but output assets shouldn't. I solved this personally by putting assets outside of the src/ directory, but that then means that the watcher won't reload when the sources change. Perhaps it would be best for users to manually specify watched dirs/files in build.zig? For most users it would likely just be src/ and assets/raw/ anyways. EDIT: Solved using watch_dirs watch: add watch_dirs option #33.
