D&D Mapping Software

Description

Gridmapper is an open source simple dungeon map making software written by Alex Schroeder. Currently, the code has a few bugs. Let’s rebuild it and make it better! Original here: https://campaignwiki.org/gridmapper.svg Original repo here: https://github.com/kensanata/gridmapper Bonus: blog of the person who wrote it https://alexschroeder.ch/wiki/Gridmapper

Context

This goal is useful because you get to work from an existing code base and modernize it. You can either rebuild the app, or you can try and improve the existing features.

This goal uses SVG for the map icons, so that's cool. If you're not interested in drawing your own icons with SVG, you can use the SVG code for the icons which is included in the original repo. Here is my in-progress repo where I am currently attempting to separate the files: https://github.com/lizzkats/Gridmapper

Specifications

List of specifications (specs) for the completed goal. These are declarative sentences (statements) describing a feature of the final product.

• [ ] The basis of the app is a SVG Rectangle Grid system
• [ ] The user can click on a grid space and generate an icon of their choice
• [ ] The icons can be rotated.

Stretch Goals

• [ ] Deploy to Heroku
• [ ] A user can download their map as an image file.
• [ ] New custom icons are added
• [ ] Any of the following requests from a real life user: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dPuqKPY9S6PJJnLpn6s-FhKTwbQgIjkTO3aJRyudTgY/edit?usp=sharing

Required

Do not remove these specs - they are required for all goals.

• [ ] The artifact produced is properly licensed, preferably with the MIT license.

Quality Rubric

What are some appropriate quality objectives for this goal? These are statements about the internal characteristics of the product that demonstrate fine design and craftspersonship, not its external features.

-Code is readable -ES2015 Syntax -Short file lengths -Separate view code from app logic (No mixing frontend and backend) -No bugs -If working from original repo, code is translated to newest versions of HTML, CSS & JS.

@deonna Since we were talking about this together can you take a look at this for me? :)

@lizzkats - sure! I'll look it over later today.

I think the goal looks good - I would add some additional quality standards: ES2015 syntax, short file lengths (since the current codebase has just one incredibly long file) separation of view code from app logic (since the HTML + SVG and JS logic are all jumbled together).

Can you also include a link to your in progress repo?

Otherwise, I think you can remove this from draft so you can vote on it.
