I want to design a city!

Postby Astrobull » Tue Mar 15, 2011 10:34 am

So I have been searching all over for a program, or website I can use to design my village's city, unfortunately I have came up with nothing.
I am looking something like paint/ a whiteboard that has a grid, that you can also create box's or lines that snap to the grid.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks

Looks a little complex for what I am trying to do but I will try it.

Paint isn't enough? O.o? Draw the grid yourself and the use the squares to make squares, or the line.
At last, if you wanna a square of a certain pixel number, use photoshop. But paint is enough.

Surely there must a program somewhere that automatically creates a grid that allows you to fill it in.

I'm sure that the time that you use to search this program, was enough to end the work on paint. Do as you wish anyway XD

I use MS Paint.
1 pixel = 1 tile
Its enough for planing. If I managed to plan AD, it should be enough for your village.

GIMP has a grid tool. Photoshop-esque interface, freeware, small download.

This.


Also - if you're using Windows 7 ( Vista upwards I suppose ) MS Paint comes with a grid tool ( optical ) to keep a better overview.
