- The user can choose the dimensions of the pixel grid to each be anything from 1 to 50.
- Upon submitting the grid dimensions, the grid is created and the user can choose various colors for the individual pixels.
- The application is a single page which begins with no shown grid and a default color of black.
- The dimensions of the grid are determined by an input element, to call an error when the inputs are not numerical values (integers) between 1 and 50.
- Submitting the dimension values produces a blank grid below the text.
- By clicking on the color option, a window appears which shows the various colors that can be generated.
- Color the grid by clicking on individual pixels.
This project is based on a skeleton structure from Udacity. For more information, see the initial commit for this repository.
- When the mouse remains clicked down and is moved around, the intermediate pixels are not colored, making it time-consuming to color entire regions of pixels in the same color. I could try to use the hover pseudo-class somehow for this, but have not considered this in detail.
- It would be nice if there were a way for the user to save his/her design without having to resort to taking a screen shot and then cropping the image in a photograph editor.
