Color Code Editor

[Grenwyn]

Hi everyone,

I slapped together a basic color code editor for some building and thought I'd share:

https://glitchassassin.github.io/fk-ascii-editor/

You can export to copy/paste into a text editor (for building, books, paintings, etc.) or export with escaped backslashes to copy/paste directly into a game client (to write to a piece of parchment).

If you have some art already color coded, you can paste that into the editor and it should be automatically parsed.

I literally threw this together this afternoon so there may be some bugs. If you run into any, leave a comment here or open an issue on the GitHub project:

Happy building!

This is pure genius, thank you very, very much. May I just check (because my browser can be funny at times) that there are four main buttons in total?

Also, what's the difference between the first and second export buttons? Finally, any chance for multi-line descs and exporting? :3

There are indeed four main buttons: foreground color, background color, export, and export (escaped).

A lot of ascii art includes backslashes ("\"), which, on my game client, disappear (or do weird things) when pasted directly. To actually write a backslash on a piece of parchment (for example), I have to type an escaped backslash ("\\"). That's what the second export button is for.

Multi-line descs should export just fine - it just looks like one line because of how the popup works. When you copy-paste, it'll preserve your line breaks. I might find a better way to handle the copy-paste, but that was the easy way.
