Drawing Modes

Updated on (created ) — Filed under: Kudamono Docs

Besides the standard drawing mode used in most ../paper-puzzle.html, certain genres add special drawing modes for extra convenience:

Dragging an implicit rectangle diagonal will draw/erase a complete rectangle in one stroke. All while preserving the ability to draw/erase single sides and individual segments. In addition, a click will draw/erase a single segment.

.

This mode can be experienced, for example, in Chainlink and Rectangle Puzzles.

This mode works exactly like rectangle mode, but using the closest square diagonal, with squares restricted to orthogonal directions.

.

This mode can be experienced, for example, in Ionic Squares.

In this mode, dragging an implicit square diagonal will draw/erase a complete square in one stroke, not restricted to orthogonal directions.

.

This mode can be experienced, for example, in Tectonic Squares and Connect the Dots Puzzles.

The closest ray (restricted to the directions of interest) arising from the drag origin and in the direction of the current position is drawn, only stopping at particular obstacles or the edge of the grid. Rays are erased likewise.

.

This mode can be experienced in Flashlights and Crossing Flashlights.

Thanks Jack Lance for suggesting this mode.

The first direction of dragging constrains the allowed directions as the dragging continues. However, when erasing, there are no constraints.

.

This mode can be experienced in Ice Dance Pair アイスダンス・ペア.

Thanks to わんど (wand125) for suggesting this mode.

Line can only be drawn starting at a piece's current position. Constraints such as obstacles are automatically enforced.

.

This mode can be experienced in Brownies and Starry Knight.

Thanks to Lennard Sprong (X_Sheep) for suggesting this mode.
