Bug/NPC Codex

[rh5140]

Display information about a bug or denizen (NPC) after meeting them. Add upon finishing first level w/ particular character.

Work on codex branch: https://github.com/rh5140/srs-team-bug/tree/codex
The script to work with is Codex.cs, and the codex UI prefab can be found in Prefabs/Codex Prefabs/Codex Canvas. Right now, the codex resides in the World Map only, but after the implementation is complete, it will be added to each level.

The codex is functionally an inventory system, so there will need to be one additional script written that inherits from ScriptableObject for the actual entries.

(Definitely look for other tutorials as well)
Talk with @fpeng-02 about how unlocking levels works.

To test, you MUST start playing from the Save Menu scene, which can be found at Scenes/Menus/Save Menu. Autowin levels with Y and check if the codex is updated as expected upon returning to the World Map.

After unlocking the character:

• Programmatically change the sprite from a silhouette
  • Implementation ideas:
  • Change the color property of the UI image from black to white.
  • Use a shader (This is what Team Lovebird's Richard did)
    • Richard copy-pasted the default Unity shader, deleted the stuff about fog, and changed a few lines to show a flat color instead of the sprite in the fixed4 frag(v2f in) : SV_Target to produce this: https://github.com/Lancival/Lovebird/blob/main/Assets/Shaders%20and%20Materials/Silhouette%20Shader.shader
• Programmatically change the name and description fields
