Drawing Scene template
A new scene template has been added, which allows you to create a drawing activity using various different tools and colours. Users can interact with a menu to select tools, colours, and brush sizes and interact with the wall to draw an image.
The template has plenty of options to allow you to customise what functionality is enabled on the canvases.
- Tool Size Menu for choosing brush, eraser, and line sizes. You can customise what brush sizes are available to the user or disable the menu and specify a single brush size.
- Colour Menu for choosing brush colours. You can specify what colours are available on the menu through readily made presets, or you can create your own custom palette. Alternatively, you can disable the menu and specify a single colour.
- Tool Menu for choosing what tools the user can choose from. You can customise what tools are enabled within the scene from the following options:
- Brush
- Eraser
- Flood Fill
- Colour Picker
- Line Tool
- Export
- Clear canvas button allows users to clear the drawings on the wall.
On top of the background settings, intro / end sequence settings, and action button settings, there are a variety of different options for customising the scene as well as a few other features:
- Choose which surfaces the canvases are enabled on.
- Enabling / Disabling the toolboxes altogether.
- Export tool allows for saving the image into the downloads folder.
- Remote Control support for customising the currently selected tool and its properties for every canvas.
- Persistent Image setting allows the scene to save the images on the canvas upon leaving the scene, and loading them back in when the scene is loaded again.
Coloured backgrounds
A new background type has been added to the background properties called “Colour”, which allows you to specify a solid background colour for your scene instead of an image or video. The default value remains as black, but you can now change it to anything you’d like!
An option has also been provided to set the background colour in the 2D background settings. This will be the colour of the background that isn’t covered by the currently existing background media applied within the scene.
Sound Board
Sound board has now been added to Background Particle, Touch Particle, Wipe, Splat and Drawing Scene templates enabling you to add sounds which can be triggered from the tablet to those templates as well as Discovery now.
