This UI is going to be more integrated with BYOND host objects. It's update principal is very different from nanoui's. It is based around state that is being synchronized with server and client (browser). Such synchronization has it's problems, like it can't handle rapid changes, what could cause client and server to become out of sync and client state to be discard.
changes:
Changed a lot of string building to use lists & Join() - this should reduce the number of strings generated at runtime.
Fixed a bug where the incidents menu was not populated.
Changed color boxes to use CSS & divs instead of one-cell tables.
The system used to be of complexity O(n^2). Essentially two for loops running per every argument. Which ended up being surprisingly slow (there were instances where I saw the argument parser as using quite a lot of CPU time).
This replaces it with a more linear algorithm. It's somewhere near O(n) where n is the length of the unparsed query. Which is more stable and faaaster. This comes with two changes, however:
Parameters inside the query now have to be delimited from both sides with : (colons). The alternative to this would be to use something like $n or just assume that space marks the end of a marker. Only the former is workable, the latter would break a few queries already.
Arguments in the argument array no longer have to be prefixed by : (colons). So, while in the query you would write :thing:, you'd initialize the array of args as: list("thing" = somevar). It could be made to work without it, but eh, I think this is fine.
Argument validation is slightly weaker. What I mean by this is that with the old system, unused keys would result in an error. This is no longer a thing. Missing keys will still result in an error, however.
One more improvement: double delimiting removes an edge case where if key A partially covers key B, depending on the order, key A would mangle key B.
Updated and tested all queries that I could find. So this should be good.
