Drawer Building Blog
2nd February 2022
We put together one of Mum's flat packed bedside chest-of-drawers, yesterday, and it completely knackered me out!!
We still has another one to go, and then for my room, a much larger set of drawers that span almost the entire length of the room..
Quite how I'll cope when we come to do those, I've no idea..

Meanwhile


Since I was completely brain-dead by the end of the day, nothing much else got done. I've did, however, spend some time sitting writing the week's SoCoder Newsletter, so at least that's ready to go.

Today I need to start looking into ways to reduce Platdude Pixelart squares down to a smaller number of colours, which I can then use to hopefully build up a pixelart paint-by-numbers type of thing. The smaller the number, the better.
The Foldapuz menu layout can handle 8 colours + black + white, but 3 of those colours would be Platdude's colours, leaving only 5 colours for the rest of the pixelart.
I'm not sure that's enough, so I'll probably aim for a 16 colour palette, instead.

If (and only if!) I can manage to get good results, I'll then have to flick through all 2500+ pixelarts, picking out the best representations, before starting a significant rewrite of the Foldapuz Unfolded engine, to try and generate something worthwhile.
Will it work out?!
Who knows.

Either way, I also still have to write a SmileBASIC game in the next couple of days, too.
..
.... And more flatpack building..
