No Game Engine Game Dev: Word Sleuth 056: Laying out some more, this time with Inkscape scripting
Streamed on 2024-09-26 (https://www.twitch.tv/thediscouragerofhesitancy)
Game Engines are for sissies!
I picked up where I left of yesterday, playing with the letter tiles on the bookshelf. Ultimately, it looks okay enough to continue down this road. However, the tiles are a different size from the blocks we started with. So I need to re-lay-out the bookshelf. Someone suggested scripting in Inkscape, so we gave it a shot.
Really, scripting in Inkscape turned out to work reasonably well. It gave us all the features we needed in Python. So I modified the LayoutMath.py to not output guide line positions that I could import into GIMP with AutoIt, but rather to just spit out a Python script which I can run in Inkscape. It is pretty slick. There are some minor improvements we could make, but for now it works well enough.
After that we layed-out the letter tiles again on the bookshelf. Then we superimposed text on top of the letter tiles. With a few tweaks here and there the letters align on the blocks pretty well without my having to do to much. We also checked the default letter colors and made the "normal" letter a darker gray. The layout is starting to come together in our little Sandbox.
