Implement arbitrarily-shaped items

[MimiVRC]

Is it planned at all to add the ability to define the shape of something in any shape? the use case is pretty much tetris-shaped items, but if the ability is added to make tetris shaped, might as well make the ability to make it any shape, just in case someday someone wants a weird 8x8 square where it only takes up inventory slots in the 4 corners

Probably, yeah. I'm seeing it as a 1D array of booleans inside an ItemType that stores whether each cell is taken up by it.

• [ ] Inspector view to edit ItemType's shape, click to toggle cell, grid size based on item size properties
• [ ] Make Inventory respect shape during can_place_item, get_free_position, get_item_at_position
• [ ] Make ItemStackView respect shape for mouse input via _has_point()
• [ ] Allow 90-degree rotations of items in GrabbedItemStackView. Will likely create a Transform2D to rotate, based on an extra_properties key.
• [ ] Make ItemInstantiator respect shape during random insert

I am unfortunately unable to work on addons in the meantime. However, this is a signal that someone does need this feature, and I will add it to the list to implement.
