Milestones

As a rough idea of the milestones needed for this game to work:

SDL Paint Program

• Create a basic SDL window that you can click on to color pixels.
  • Connect the pixels while the mouse is down to cover gaps.
• Implement a "screenshot" button that translates the canvas to a PNG image on disk.
  • F12 key to take a screenshot of your drawing.
  • It reproduces a PNG image using its in-memory knowledge of the pixels you have drawn, not by reading the SDL canvas. This will be important for making the custom level format later.
  • The PNG I draw looks slightly different to what you see on the SDL canvas; maybe difference between Renderer.DrawLine() and my own algorithm or the anti-aliasing.
• Create a custom map file format (protobufs maybe) and "screenshot" the canvas into this custom file format.
• Make the program able to read this file format and reproduce the same pixels on the canvas.

Platformer

• Start implementing a platformer that uses the custom map format for its rendering and collision detection.
