calculation help :S
I'm working on a project where people can snap certain objects to a grid, and the grid point is indicated by a stamped dot (square sprite with a dot drawn on it). At the beginning, the user chooses their canvas size (height and width) so they could have 20 dots by 50 dots.
What I want to do is that if the user chooses a 4X4 square, the dot sprite will stamp 16 very large dots on the screen, making it as big as possible on the screen so it can easily be seen. However, if the user were to choose a 100X100 grid, the sprite would draw smaller dots and scale it again so that the dots spread as far a possible across the stage...
The calculation for this stumps me. Any discussion and help would be good 
let us assume the dot stamping sprite is normally 10X10 pixils in size.

I know how to make things snap to a grid, it's making the grid the right size and stamping the right times onto it that is the problem #4 2010-07-24 07:47:46

Here is a snap to grid script:
Not sure what you mean by the other part though.
Change all the 20s to what you want.

Look at my game on advance wars. It has a sensing script and may come in handy...

Re: calculation help :S
That is almost exatly what I need, the one problem is that as it's supposed to be simulating a stripboard, the gap between each hole needs to be the same distance from it's neighbors as the others, wheras in the case of your project, if you do something like 10X2, the gaps between the rows and the gap between the columns are different...

Oh, so it should not always fill the whole screen? It's an easy fix actually.
