Map Layout Simulator...

[jeffd1830]

Ok guys, so I've gone all-out obsessive on this. I stayed up all night last night, and went straight into working on this again today when I got off of work. I've completed a Canvas-based rendering of the board, and I've also added zoom and kinetic scrolling. (I'm only supporting desktop and maybe tablet, not phones on this.)

So then I decided to add a "Go" button...

What does the Go button do? Well... it saves the selected board layout, with a "permanent" link that you can share to another person or group of people, and currently I'm working on the beginnings of a counter/token reservoir, and collaborative editing, so you will eventually be able to use this as a tool to simulate a board, complete with miniatures and counters and play a game of LNoE over the Internet.

I'll make another URL at some point that is view only, so you can have not only players but also spectators with no editing permissions.

So what won't it do? It won't contain the game data like scenarios or the text of the cards, at this point I don't even plan to add a list of the cards or cards at all. You'll have to manage your card decks through the honor system and cameras, I think.

It won't implement any rules. This is just going to be a digital version of what you already do on the table top.

I'm open to suggestions.
