# Paint
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Where is the options page?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can read through all the options and generate a YAML [here](../player-options).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## What does randomization do to this game?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Most tools are locked from the start, leaving only the Magnifier and one drawing tool, specified in the game options.
|
||
|
|
Canvas size is locked and will only expand when the Progressive Canvas Width and Progressive Canvas Height items are
|
||
|
|
obtained. Additionally, color selection is limited, starting with only a few possible colors but gaining more options
|
||
|
|
when Progressive Color Depth items are obtained in each of the red, green, and blue components.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Location checks are sent out based on similarity to a target image, measured as a percentage. Every percentage point up
|
||
|
|
to a maximum set in the game options will send a new check, and the game will be considered done when a certain target
|
||
|
|
percentage (also set in the game options) is reached.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## What other changes are made to the game?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This project is based on [JS Paint](https://jspaint.app), an open-source remake of Microsoft Paint. Most features will
|
||
|
|
work similarly to this version but some features have also been removed. Most notably, pasting functionality has been
|
||
|
|
completely removed to prevent cheating.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
With the addition of a second canvas to display the target image, there are some additional features that may not be
|
||
|
|
intuitive. There are two special functions in the Extras menu to help visualize how to improve your score. Similarity
|
||
|
|
Mode (shortcut Ctrl+Shift+M) shows the similarity of each portion of the image in grayscale, with white representing
|
||
|
|
perfect similarity and black representing no similarity. Conversely, Difference Mode (shortcut Ctrl+M) visualizes the
|
||
|
|
differences between what has been drawn and the target image in full color, showing the direction both hue and
|
||
|
|
lightness need to shift to match the target. Additionally, once unlocked, the Pick Color tool can be used on both the
|
||
|
|
main and target canvases.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Custom colors have been streamlined for Archipelago play. The only starting palette options are black and white, but
|
||
|
|
additional palette slots can be unlocked as Archipelago items. Double-clicking on any palette slot will allow you to
|
||
|
|
edit the color in that slot directly and shift-clicking a palette slot will allow you to override the slot with your
|
||
|
|
currently selected color.
