[Sugarcube 2] Creating a dymanic map for a game
Hello
Twine 2.011 - Sugarcube 2.12.1
I'm helping teachers to create an exploration game about a school in the late XIXth century. A card of the schoolyard is required in that story.
But I had like to make it dynamic : only the parts corresponding to the visited passages should be displayed. Any idea or code snippet for making such a map ?
Thanks a lot for any advice.

If it's the former. You could set up overlays for each location which hide parts of the map image. From there you'd probably want to enable/disable the overlays in a postrender task.
Alternatively, you could set the image as the background of a <canvas> element and use its API to draw the overlays directly.
If it's the latter. You could simply do something like the following:
<<if hasVisited("classroom")>>…classroom image…<<else>>…blank image or equivalent…<</if>>You'd do that for each location, though you'd need to be careful about whitespace elsewise your overall map will have unsightly gaps.
