Adds DrawPixel() + Easels + Canvases!

[RemieRichards]

Yet more random pixel related stuff.

• Adds DrawPixel(), and interface for DrawBox() for ease of drawing 1 pixel on an Icon.
• Adds DrawPixelOn(), an interface for DrawPixel() for ease of drawing 1 pixel on THIS ATOM's icon, and setting it.

Both return the modified icons if they succeeded.

This was made for some form of freeform drawing (Think custom grafitti) But as of yet doing that is literally Pixel Hunting the game as you carefully try to draw your image without fucking up.
It worked, it was just super difficult/annoying for the "artist", Also yes I know that it would totally only be used for griefing/messing around, but that's what grafitti is for.

• Adds Easels, a holder for canvases
• Adds Canvases! Draw on these with crayons, clean one pixel with a rag or soap, clean it all off by clicking it with itself (It's a giant etch-a-sketch!) - Sprites by Nienhaus
• Canvases held in your hand look (to you) like the picture you drew! Amazing!

Typically the concern with user-generated content is "what if they draw a dick"

We have the advantage of being /tg/station and hence not giving a damn!

[RemieRichards]

True, we'll end up with plenty of dicks, but I kind of hope people also go the route of cableart with it and just draw wild/awesome stuff.

I haven't given up on trying to implement the custom drawing use case for this, just thought while I struggle it'd be nice to commit the procs.

[Iamgoofball]

stop being optimistic

you know that there will be dicks

there will be dicks

[WJohn]

There aren't a whole lot of cable art dicks or grafitti dicks, I'm not expecting too many once the hype dies down a bit.

[RemieRichards]

@WJohn can I get a Canvas+Eisel object sprite? (maybe some inhands if we want it to be picked up and moved) even with the current constraints of pixel hunting, that'd be pretty cool.
Baring in mind that you'd be drawing ON the object sprite, so if you do do it, make the canvas part take up most of the sprite.

[optimumtact]

the proc name should be dixel()

[RemieRichards]

Alright I got sprites from @Nienhaus and have Added Canvases and Easels.

Also while making this I accidentally initialised the global cache twice, leading to a byond warning I'd never seen: "list doubly initialized", which is interesting.

[Cheridan]

Canvases held in your hand look (to you) like the picture you drew! Amazing!

No way to get them to show for other people?

[RemieRichards]

@Cheridan Well, I'm not sure about examining them to see it in their hands (Which probably would appear like your drawing)

I could allow you to "attack" someone to show you them with (target << actualbackup) to show them the image, but that seems odd.

[theOperand]

Allow people to frame paintings/pictures and hang them on walls or
something. You could probably make the sprite be a downsized version of the
actual picture, photos do that.

@Miauw62 there'd be no need to downsize it, As I already stated, this version is still pixelhunty and is manily for the novelty of it.

So if pictures could be hung on walls in this iteration, they'd already show their picture contents.

[CosmicScientist]

Ooo, space art. If you do allow the pictures to be hung on walls in a future iteration, would you also consider allowing them to be saved like literature in the library or would that cause issues similar to the book ordering console or even not be worth it besides the one in one hundred dick drawings that can be appreciated for actually being good?

[RemieRichards]

not actually sure if it's easy/practical to export images from byond.
They'd also need a home to sit in and a database to organise them.

[CosmicScientist]

Ah databases, I blissfully forgot they existed. Don't worry about my suggestion then.

[optimumtact]

It would most likely end up a database of poorly drawn lewd art

[SconesC]

Will the papers be PDA-scannable?

[RemieRichards]

@SconesC say what now?

[Cheridan]

You can hit a paper with your PDA to copy it to your notes.

I don't think these are actually paper, though, so probably not.

[tigercat2000]

If it's possible, I think spraycans should draw a 3x3px box. For fancier drawings, or something.
😐

[RemieRichards]

Ideally all crayons (including spraycans) will be able to, on walls and floors (and now canvases), bring up an enlarged version of what they're drawing on, so that you can draw without pixelhunting.

Not in this first PR though, sadly.

[freerealestate]

pretty incredible.

[Crystalwarrior]

Added a zooming function on Atlas Station codebase, going to PR it soonish. Here's a screenie:
