Proposal: The Mosaic

Popular, Open for 12 hours. Passes 6-1—Clucky

Adminned at 21 Oct 2020 05:47:19 UTC

Add a new dynastic rule called The Mosaic with the following text

The Mosaic is a 20 by 20 grid of Tiles which is tracked on the “Mosaic” page on the Wiki

A Tile consists of the following components:
* Its Row, corresponding to which row of the grid it is on (with the topmost row being row 1, and the bottom row being row 20)
* Its Column, corresponding to which column of the grid it is on (with the leftmost column being column 1, and the rightmost column being column 20)
* Its Color, which can be any of the color names listed here: https://www.w3schools.com/colors/colors_names.asp and by default is white. A tile may be described by its color (i.e. a tile whose color is white may be referred to as a white Tile)
* Its Content, which can be a string of up to two characters, and by default is empty

The Row and the Column of a Tile may not change. A Tile may be referred as “Tile R,C” where R is the row of the tile, and C is the column of the tile.

Two Tiles are Adjacent if they either share the same Column and their Row differs by only 1, or they share the same Row and their Column differs by only 1

Add a new dynastic rule called Turns with the following text

Each Monk has a non-negative integer number of Turns, which is tracked on the “Mosaic” page on the Wiki and by default is 5 and has a maximum value of 10. Any attempts to set a Monks turns higher than 10 instead set it to 10.
As a weekly action, a Monk may increase their Turns by 5.

In order to perform a Tile Action, a Monk must spend 1 Turn plus 1 additional Turn for every other Tile Action they have performed over the last 12 hours

As a Tile Action, a Monk may do one of the following:
* Change the Color of a white Tile to match the Color of a tile which is adjacent to it

Set the color of Tile 1,1 to blue

Set the color of Tile 1,20 to green

Set the color of Tile 20,1 to red

Set the color of Tile 20,20 to gold

I’m not sure about using the outside link. Is it necessary? Can we get a list of colour names that’s locally stored?

Raven, you’ve once again locked this from being edited.

against as I’m not a fan of external sources being used; would change my vote based on a quick patch

well too late to change it now :help:—I think we can certainly move it later. Right now there are no way to introduce any other colors than white, blue, green, red or gold. Would like to see ways to introduce new tile colors later, but for now that leaves plenty of time to figure out how the overall legal color list is defined.

for Let’s just patch this later.

As for the color palette, I’d suggest a copy of the web safe colors - https://websafecolors.info/color-chart, but on our site.  Seems less arbitrary than the ones that are on that site.

@Jumble its nice to be able to refer to colors by their name rather than by a hex code. Using the HTML color list gives us the best of both worlds. We can say the tile is gold, and mediawiki knows how to draw it gold.

Do we think we need a large color list? Or might it be okay if we just picked like 10 colors and that was all you got?

This is set in medieval, right? Having the full 256 feels unrealistic, especially if we want to bring in eg trading for dyes.

How does this list seem:

White (default color)

Red, Blue, Gold, Green (base colors)

Purple, Pink, Cyan, Orange, Lime, Black, Brown, Grey (bonus colors that can get introduced later)
