Add blindness, but different

[notquitehadouken]

About the PR

Adds a trait that gives you complete blindness, but also very good spatial awareness.

You can only see a small area, but holding something like a blind cane increases this range.

Anything you walk close enough to will appear in your vision, but will disappear shortly after if it is not anchored.

You can tell what direction sounds come from, but you cannot tell how far away they are unless they are relatively close.

todo:

ez:

• Fix being able to see through walls
• Make the character movement not extremely jittery
• Fix not being able to see the floor
• Make holding a cane increase the range at which you can see
• Fading out
• Add being able to see sound
• Trait (why did it take me so long to add this)
• Fix the memory leaks

not ez:

• Fix not being able to see walls
• Figure out what is so fundamentally broken about walls that makes them completely invisible
• Fix being able to right click and see things (w/o spritecomp.visible) (nvm there's no reason you can just walk over)
• Make item throws make sense

Why / Balance

i think it's cool

Maybe add a check for noises so those items are permanently visible while in vicinity? Vending machines and such, maybe moving objects as well (those who make footsteps at least, moonboots exclueded)
Also, blind cane could light up all items in vicinity for a duration, making it QoL feature for blind people like IRL. But that's probably out of scope of this PR as it has damage iirc

sounds will Show Up with a certain icon, this will handle vending machines and other things that make sound (footsteps, guns, explosives, computers being used, talking (not whispering), things being thrown, things landing, etc)

blind cane will extend the range you can see while you're holding it (like 2x) When I Code It and nothing else

I like this idea. I feel like the blind cane should give you good vision of the ground you're on. Maybe just highlight the nearby tile(s)?

i have a fix in mind

[notquitehadouken]

by the way the way seeing sound will work is leeching off of whatever event fires when a sound plays and using that

and also adding more data to sounds
