3. Anatomy of a Robotlegs application > Lindz’s Mosaic Design Tool
I decided to create a large and complex square tile mosaic on an outside wall at our house in Spain. I imagined something mostly based on geometric patterns but with a pair of lizards hidden in the design. I was a bit naive at the outset, not realising how many revisions to the design I’d need to do. Coloring pencils and squared paper quickly became super-frustrating, which led me to build the design tool shown in Figure 3-2.
Requirements:
-
Swf/Standalone exe/projector, AS3 + Flash Assets
-
The tool allows the user to create a grid of a known size (rows x columns)
-
The user can add ‘supplies’ of tiles in different hex colors
-
The user selects a tile color and then clicks a square on the grid to assign it this color
