Can Phaser support the creation of a screen where I have 3 palettes of “words”, and 3 grids of “paper”? Words in the first palette would be dragged and placed within the first grid, words from the second palette would go on the second grid, and words from the third palette would go on the third grid. Each palette/grid combo might be for a different language, for example the first palette/grid might be for English, the second palette/grid for French, and the third for German. The character set would be English, so I wouldn’t actually be using different locales. The user would drag words from the palettes, and place them on the corresponding grids. The grids might be 80 characters across, and 5 characters tall. The user would be able to place the words in to the grid, and move them around to wherever they wanted them in the grid. I suspect the words in the palettes might be best done as sprites, rather than draggable text. When placed on the grid paper, I would want them to “snap in to place” on the grid. A five letter word would take up a row of 5 cells on the grid. It would be like placing words down on to a Scrabble board. The palettes might have so many words, they need to actually be scrollable listboxs, but I will deal with that later. The palettes would be on the left side of the screen, taking about 1/4 the screen-width, and their corresponding palettes would be to their right, taking up the other 3/4 of the screen width. Is this possible to do? I've seen grids in Phaser apps, but there was only 1 on the screen at a time. I would need 3 different grids.
