Best way to do a grid with picture content in gideros

EpicJoker

Hi there,

I have been writing a game for tracing objects and i have come to a point where i need a 4x4 grid that fits the width of the screen and has a relative height.

So far i have used images with borders in the image to create the grid like effect and on click of each grid block, it replaces the image with a coloured version.

At present the grid block is a 100x100 pixel block with about a 5px border and a letter in the middle, is this the right way to go about this or is there possibly another way, such as drawing the grid with paths and linestyles and adding text? Finding it difficult to decide on the best way?

Thank you for your help in advance.

Regards,
Warren

I think using images is the best way both from efficiency and from looks that you can achieve.

But if you have different letters on each cells, meaning you would need to create many images.

The best combination would be to create two different images to represent cells as default and touched cell
and write all the text you want on it using TextField with TTFont of your choice.
