I need a blue checker tile please
Miscellaneous Forums/General Discussion/I need a blue checker tile please
Imagine this:

But in this sort of colour:
Why don't you draw one in Paint? Or something? Its hardly Van Gogh stuff.
Actually, in the second picture - the darker blue needs to be a touch darker but not as dark as the first picture. The ligher blue square in the second picture is pretty much spot on.
yeah even I could draw that. $50 and I'll make you one.
Is this a windup?
Yeh, but it is hard to get the squares the same size in paint, etc.
You're lucky I'm bored today.
Do it in these colours:

But must be flat - no embossing or bevelling or height - just flat.
Dude....
This has to be a windup, right? What are you on mate? :D
I'm not THAT bored. :p
Like this one:

I just made it from the above image.
However, I need it stripping down to just the 2 base colours.
That one I posted (that I made myself) contains 47 colours.
Now I understand why puki steals all his media...
Use the eyedropper to sample the 2 blues you want, then re-draw the squares, using them.
I managed to bodge it down to 16 colours - which is better, however, if I go for 2 then it turns black and white - sniff.
Is this close enough?
:D
Needs to be like my one:

I did that one.
I'm going to use mine for the moment - it's clearly the best.
I'll check back later for other Blitzer's contributions.
I think the community should rise to the challenge to beat my masterworks:

Doing this was too complex for you, then?
Yep.
I don't know how to do the squares the same size.

Created a 256x256 canvas in Photoshop, coloured it one of the shades of blue, then created a 128x128 canvas and coloured that in the other blue. Then I dragged the smaller one onto the larger one twice and placed the layers at opposite corners.
If I had the time I'd start MaP Zone and get something out of that for you ^^ But I don't have time... Seriously: who has time for that?
"Muzzer's" looks interesting - just pushes my entry into second place.
Nice one "Muzzer" - that will be $150.00 you owe me for it to feature in my game.
Why not code it if you can't draw it? :|
I still think the pic I linked is the best. Your game's going to suck if you don't use that one.
-AF
"Muzzer" - kill your link - I have it now.
I don't want my blue check pattern appearing in every Blitz game into the distant future.
Too late, I've already stolen it. It will now be ubiquitous in everything I write, from this day forward...
I stole it from HL2 actually. Surely everyone remembers 'The Blue Checkered Level'... straight after that one with the stuff and the things that happened
Ah yes, just before the level where you have to shoot loads of stuff, wasn't it?
That's the one
arctic fox is my hero.
That's image is copyrighted...none can use it!
:P

Fine, I'll just copyright this then, under the name of "Muzzer's Reverse", and see if Creative is interested.
Graphics 512,512,32,2:ClsColor 0,162,255:Cls:Color 128,209,255:Rect 0,0,256,256:Rect 256,256,256,256:SaveBuffer (FrontBuffer(),"c:\checker.bmp"):WaitKey
Oooh.
That one is interesting.
Mmm, which one should I use - original, or reverse?
Mmm. Bit of a tough one this.
Muzzer's one is the best, but it still looks a bit blocky. Any chance of creating a 1024*1024 version? If so I'll use it in my chess game. I need it in black and white.
This is retarded!
I can't believe I read this whole post.
I start a thread about a poor missing little Girl in Portugal and it gets removed yet this thread remains.
No offence to puki but what'smore important to be talked about? A kidnapped toddler in portugal or puki trying to make square graphics?
I needed the tile - I have a use for it.
Maybe puki should just get banned :-P

As this is a programming forum, the latter.
actually my toddler could probably make that graphic.
I've also nabbed it (before the copyright was applied) and will be using it for my next BFG blockbuster.
