# Pixel Art Maker
|
|
|
|
In this exercise, you'll create your own pixel art maker which will allow a user to choose colors from a palette and then "paint" pixel art. The interface is completely up to you, but it could look something like this.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
More specifically, your pixel art maker should allow a user to do the following.
|
|
|
|
1. Start with a blank canvas of "pixels".
|
|
1. Select a color from a palette.
|
|
1. Paint the pixels on the canvas using the selected color.
|
|
1. Repeat step 2.
|
|
|
|
Here's a development workflow that we recommend you use.
|
|
|
|
1. Fork and clone this repository.
|
|
1. Create a small, 2x2 grid canvas made up of white, square `div` tags with a border.
|
|
1. Add an event listener to each `div` so when clicked the background turns red.
|
|
1. Create a small palette of two colors (e.g. red and blue) below the canvas using more `div` tags.
|
|
1. Add an event listener to these `div` tags so when clicked the current "brush" color is remembered.
|
|
1. Expand the dimensions of the pixel canvas.
|
|
1. Expand the palette with the rest of the standard colors as well as an eraser. (i.e. red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, brown, gray, black, white, etc.)
|
|
1. Expand the palette with a current color indicator so the user knows which color was last selected.
|
|
1. Improve the look and feel of the canvas and color palette. Be careful not to break your program's behavior!

|
### Bonus 1
|
|
|
|
Add a color picker which allows the user to select any color using the [`<input type="color">` tag](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input/color) and the [`change` event](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Events/change).
|
|
|
|
### Bonus 2
|
|
|
|
Add tools that augment the type of user interaction
|
|
|
|
- Pencil tool: Click and drag across the canvas to paint pixels.
|
|
- Selection tool: Click and drag across the canvas to paint all pixels that fall inside a rectangular selection.
|
|
|
|
