awesome, though a bit buggy. nothin that hasn't been said before. but i have to ask, anyone know of any downloadable programs that work similar to this?
Reviews for "Dragoncon Battlemat"

There are a bunch of downloadable programs that allow you to do this.. but I wanted to do it in HTML5 ;)
Needs generic buildings and such otherwise cool.
mwmdragon responds:
There is a lot more that can be added, but it really increases the size of the download so I was thinking of releasing themed packs instead of one giant release. As version 1.0 this is many hours of playable content!
Really cool idea for a game, being able to create your own personal dungeon like this! Only potential flaw I can spot is how the props don't automatically sync with the background tiles, I'd like to follow the perfect grid layout but this way everything doesn't align perfectly by default, maybe an option to snap onto grid could be included? Also, how about an option to save levels/games through the NG API, and load them again at a later time? That'd be pretty neat. Keep up the great work!

I included a grid to help you align the props.. but snapping as an option is something I will add in the future.
Not too bad, just a couple thoughts for this are local save options for maps bestiaries and characters, and maybe a random map generator. If you want this to be really on the fly, that is a great way to do it.
Newgrounds also probably wasn't a great place for this with some of the scrolling functions. It still seems just ever more beneficial to actually do this on pen and paper. Still a kick ass thing to use for some nifty visuals if ever my group gets lazy.
mwmdragon responds:
It was a learning project for me.. I'll improve on it over time but I think my next focus will be AI to make something similar but as an actual game rather than a tool.
This has come leaps and bounds. And considering it is html5, you've pushed the boundaries a bit furthur on what can/can't be done. Wonderful Job.
