So on Monday I had a dumb late-nite conversation with some friends and I came up with a project idea. I won't go into detail on what it is, because I want it to be a surprise for this forum when and if I finish it-I think some people here'll get a real kick out of it. Suffice to say it's simultaneously really dumb, kind-of useful, and mostly just an excuse to reference some old movies; the true Badgersaurus style, at this point.
But anyway.
I figured the best way to go about making it would be to make a modified, modular version of those drag-and-drop dress-up games/pages that can be downloaded and used as a local 'page' on your computer, so you can fiddle with the files to your liking. You know, the ones with the columns of draggable clothing/parts that you move with the cursor onto a canvas/blank space to make your own outfit/creature/robot/whatever.
The easiest way for me to learn with coding (or anything, really) is a combination of basic tutorials on the general usage of the tools and tearing apart the 'inspect element' of whatever I'm trying to do. The problem is I don't have any references of these drag-and-drop 'games' on-hand.
I know I've seen them sometimes on people's personal websites, and on various older sites and archives of them. I figure some people here probably know of a few, so... if you do, drop a link, please! I'm curious to see how they're put together, if they usually use JS or something else, etc.
Thank you in advance!
