2015-02-16 Gridmapper To Do

With the extra layer – “the map below” – finally implemented, it’s time to look for other Gridmapper challenges. This little project makes me so happy. It looks cool, changes are fast to make. I love those early phases of projects that are going well. 😄

=> Gridmapper

So, here’s some stuff that I still want to do:

• rewrite the internal data structure ✓
• labels or at least numbers – I’m thinking typing a number key will start or append to a label in that square, backspace will shorten the existing label, I’m thinking of adding a little white background circle to those numbers to make it more readable ✓
• export as PNG (will require canvg?) (also not sure how useful this will be)
• furniture? (shelves, tables, chairs, chests)
• rubble?
• make sure you can place traps on top of stairs? (does this look good?)
• investigate key issue involving $ and ? – Chrome/Windows only ✓ (resurfaced)
• make it run on IE 11 ✓ (but no download of the data URI?)
• multiple levels? A rolodex like interface where you can move up or down, a large level indicator somewhere, the ability to select an area and move it in any of the six directions (x, y, z). ✓
• use v for variants: 1x1 stairs, 2x1 stairs, 2x2 stairs, as well as 1x1 and 2x2 spiral staircase? ✓
• quarter circle, perhaps in 1x1, 2x2 and 3x3 variants to create towers ✓
• fountains or wells? perhaps just donut shaped things ✓
• tablet support ✓
• a text area for copy and paste of level data ✓
• making gates a variant of doors ✓
• allow the rotation of variants; currently you can press s v to get a stair variant, but if you then press s again, you’re back at the standard stair ✓
• stop using $ and c for secret and conceiled doors; instead, use door variants for these two ✓

What do you think about the option to hold the f-key and create multiple tiles by navigating with the arrow keys instead of pressing arrow-f-arrow-f-arrow-f a.s.o? I would find that useful.

Did you try Shift Arrows?

This is getting excitingly better!
