I had an idea for something I wanted, but can't find it anywhere. So I thought I might try rolling it myself, but can't get it done with the tools I have at hand (and with which I am proficient.) So here is what I want to do; maybe someone here can at least point me in the direction of a language and/or platform:
I need a graphical display similar to a Flash puzzle.
I need to pre-define certain shapes that are certain sizes relative to one another (doesn't matter how large or small the interface is really as long as the shapes have constant relative size to one another.)
I need to drag and drop those shapes into a blank field to create larger shapes.
Like, say, "digital Legos" for lack of a better way to describe it. I want a box of assorted digital Legos that I can drag and drop to make pictures of assembled Lego projects.
In a fit of inspiration, I tried a houseplan application, which did everything I needed short of the bespoke pieces, and that part is essential to the process, so -- back to square one.
Anyone have any idea what I need to do this?
Frank
