[4ian]

Theme authors only had a short label to choose the asset of a slot ("First person weapon", "First crop or food item", "Grass or bush"). So some themes put a shovel or a candy cane in the gun of the FPS starters, bread and a bowl in the crops, and small trees or an air conditioner in the scattered grass. GDevelopApp/GDevelop-assets#717 fixes those themes.

Slot descriptions

Each of the 44 slots of theme-slots.json gets a description: what its objects do in the starters, and what fits it. For example:

• weapon.handheld: "The gun held in first-person view in the FPS starters: the player aims it with the crosshair and fires it, and its bullets hit what it points at. It must shoot: a pistol, rifle, shotgun, blaster, crossbow or bow. Never a melee weapon or a tool (sword, axe, shovel, candy cane)."
• crop.a: "The first crop of the farming starters: it grows from a seed planted in a dirt plot, and is picked up when grown. Something grown from the soil: a vegetable, fruit, pumpkin or mushroom. Not cooked food or an object. Different from crop.b."
• nature.grass: "Small vegetation scattered densely on the ground of the expanded starters, which the player walks through (it has no collision) [...]. Not a tree or an object."

The descriptions were written from the objects each slot is mapped to in the starters. The theme documentation of the assets repository points to them (GDevelopApp/GDevelop-assets#717).

The README asks for a description when a slot is added, and to map an object only to a slot whose description fits what it does.

Farming seeds

The seeds of both farming starters (Seed_Beet, Seed_Carrot) were mapped to nature.rock.small, so planting a seed showed a rock, a bone, a wheel, a sack or a computer, depending on the theme. They are now in ignoredObjects and keep their own model.

Checks

jest (52 tests), tsc and prettier pass. Every starter passes checkStarterThemeSlots with the new mappings.
