## About The Pull Request


![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/32a5f39a-59b8-46c3-8418-1a089379d6a4)

This PR adds "platforms" to the game, a port of the window frames from
the Wallening branch but with no windows attached.
You can craft them with two stacks of many kinds of materials.
Functionally they're basically just tables for standing on and act as a
decorative tool allowing you to make raised areas like stages.
Largely as far as I can tell I _think_ these were sprited by @Krysonism
although it's a little hard to check if there's any that were done by
someone else.

You can walk directly from tables to platforms (and crates) and vice
versa. You can also tableslam people onto them.

This PR also comes with "steps" (AKA small stairs)
You can use steps to walk onto platforms (or tables, or crates) without
needing to do the climbing action first.

If you try to run through them the wrong way you will trip.
Right now they only come in "Iron" flavour. Maybe one day someone will
sprite some wooden ones, or other varieties.

Basically the intention is to use them to build a little stage or altar
or maze or something. They don't have a lot of non-decorative purpose.

Don't be alarmed by the touched files list. It's mostly sprites and
there's barely even any code in this PR. It's almost entirely elements
and boilerplate.

## Why It's Good For The Game

Mappers keep asking me to add these.
Salvages some sprites from the Wallening project which we can still use.
You can make a really really big multitile pizza.

## Changelog

🆑 Jacquerel, Smartkar, sprites by Kryson
add: Added "platforms", or "half-walls" which are a kind of decorative
block similar to tables which you can walk around on.
add: You can walk freely between tables, platforms, and crates that
happen to be near tables or platforms.
add: You can construct iron steps to traverse tables and platforms
without needing to climb on, but try not to trip over them.

Datum Component System (DCS)

Concept

Loosely adapted from /vg/. This is an entity component system for adding behaviours to datums when inheritance doesn't quite cut it. By using signals and events instead of direct inheritance, you can inject behaviours without hacky overloads. It requires a different method of thinking, but is not hard to use correctly. If a behaviour can have application across more than one thing. Make it generic, make it a component. Atom/mob/obj event? Give it a signal, and forward its arguments with a SendSignal() call. Now every component that want's to can also know about this happening.

See/Define signals and their arguments in __DEFINES\components.dm
