Cellpaint.com - Updated
Posted by Will | Filed under Cell Paint
I have just rolled out the latest incarnation of my AS3 based flash site, cellpaint.com. This latest version includes several new features including:
Faster rendering
Cells are drawn to one of 9 large bitmaps rather than kept as individual instances. This has increased performance ten-fold especially when navigating the cells.
Editable cells
One of the most requested features. A user can now submit a cell and then edit it at a later stage. This will hopefully encourage users to take more pride in their work and keep them coming back to work on their masterpiece. The downside to this is layers are lost and the image is flattened between saves.
Login now required
Users wanting to paint a cell must be registered and logged in. Anyone not logged in can navigate/view/expand cells freely.
Menu items
New since the previous version is menu buttons across the top of the screen. These currently don’t do anything so don’t panic if nothing happens when you click on them.
Back end updates
The back end has had various changes to make things more secure.
I still consider cellpaint.com to be work-in-progress and there are a few outstanding issues to be wary of. These include:
Menu buttons don’t work.
Cell submit button briefly locks up the player. This confuses people into thinking the button isn’t working.
Currently no password reset in place.
No ‘undo’ in the paint application. This is something that may not be included for a while. Users are encouraged to work with layers in the meantime.
