Brainstorming Ideas

Sup everybody, welcome to this new blog. It’s basically a casual way for me to post some articles and try to get feedback, or maybe even just post the latest update news for the website.

This one is for HDUB Pixel Art Edition, which is basically the main program that has been produced by the project thus far. The stage we are at: We have a fully functional proof of concept, demostrating that HTML design can be treated exactly like all other 2D graphical art programs. It’s way more fun that way, and you can so much more control that with other methods. SSG(static site generators) are sort of boring to use, and after setting it up for this blog, and for the HDUB documentation (dckim.org), I am starting to think… “Yeah, Pixel Art Edition is actually a fun program to use!”

Static Site Generators

These are actually very boring to use. They have their strong points, when you want everything to be very regimented but, the drawback is when you want to put in some of your own custom buttons… and then it’s like “How can I even do that here?”

I’m not even sure it’s possible, and if it is, it’s hardly worth it. SSG is great for very straight forward News/Blog/Etc websites, 100% the best.

HDUB Potential Upgrades: “How about saving 20 pages at once?”

I’m thinking about it, and have been for a few weeks while I haven’t touched the code for a while. Now I am thinking about adding in the last few ‘kickers’ just to make sure this is a top class, untouchable gem of a program.

On the table, I have a few ideas. How about instead of saving only one webpage in a ‘zipped’ format, we save all twenty (20) levels at once? To me this seems like a ’no-brainer’, of course do it. Then the other thing that I have been thinking of is to make the first level become an index pointing to the other 19 pages… So it will just have some default links to all other pages, maybe itself too. That way the user has all of that default setup immediately.

That’s mainly what I’m looking at, and then maybe making the default footer give a ‘middle mouse scroll’ feature to the pages. So, because you can customize the ‘footer’ of the page, you can always change this, if you prefered the ordinary scroll.

That would really change the whole feeling of your pages.

Middle Mouse Scrolling

This would give you a really strong ‘world-building’ feeling to your webpage drawing experience, and then the viewer of the webpage would have the very same feeling while they navigate around your artwork in the pages. So, what I am really looking for here is to install some pop-culture defaults, which everyone would instant love. So, the above proposed changes are strong candidates.
