[open-source] Floor Maker

scorelessmusic

My first attempt at sharing code on GS.

Floor Maker uses accelerometer to switch screens so that I can keep the display screen 'buttonless' so that people can use screen-cap to save a floor they've generated with a selected tile. To select a tile, just tilt the device sideways to reveal the tile selection panel, then tilt the opposite way to slide back to the Floor Display.

Nice!

You should also add arrow key controls, to mimic the accelerometer controls, so it works on the web as well. Then we can just take a screenshot of our screen.

Thanks for making this!

I'm planning a different version for both the web as well as the desktop. I started with the mobile version because it thought it would be cool if I could start working on my game maps on-the-go.

Floor Maker is the first implementation. Next up will be the various layers that are usually superimposed, like the walls and props. Trying to work on an intelligent method to handle the walls now.

I haven't had a chance to mess with it on a device to use the accelerometer. Does the placing of an image on the grid snap to a square then? I'm guessing so...

@rebump - i'll add some buttons like suggested and update the web version soon. Give me a couple of minutes...

Updated! Now 'universal binary' for both mobile and web. Give it a spin!

Instructions:
1. choose Web Version
2. Tap on Floor Display to switch to Tile Selection screen
3. Tap any tile to select it and tap "To Floor Display" to see the floor tiled
4. Tap the Floor Display again to repeat the cycle
