[Request] Number Tiles

So I have a weird request and i'm not sure how easy it would actually be to do, could be super simple, could be impossible. Either way i'm looking at doing something like the following: The general gist is to number each grid square Map Layer, foreground on a given Page. Obviously being able to select a color would be important as black isn't always usable. Ok so now the reason for this, is actually quite simple, and probably completely different than you might expect. I do my in person game on a LCD TV with physical minis, and their is a distortion piece when moving minis on the screen, so in those occasions if a player said I'm at #14 or I'll move to 14 it would help things up a great deal. So thoughts? How complicated would it be to put a "Text" drawing in every square with a randomly generated # (Alpha Numeric might be better. But being able to control the Size, and Color of the Text would really be the only feature needed I think.

Provided you don't require it to line up with any particular features, it wouldn't be that hard. The script could draw a small colored box below the text to allow it to be always visible. Such a script could also have the ability to toggle it on and off, or change the size, etc.

Indeed... I need to start a webpage..

For just $2 a month you could help pay for Aaron to write scripts all day every day, you too can make a difference! Seems like a good idea though for those of us who hate numbering our beasties... 'i'm attacking that scary looking thing on square 12...'

[Camera pans across many computer screens showing games utilizing The Aaron's scripts.] <Voiceover> In his spare time, Scriptomancer Aaron has elevated the games of so many GMs. Imagine how much more wondrous our games would be if he could write full time? [Images shift to shots of the scriptomancer busily scribbling away with a fancy quill] For just $2 a month you could help pay for Aaron to write scripts all day every day, you too can make a difference!

The Aaron Script Original? Where do I send my $2?

HA! Probably best not to purse that thought to far at this point. No competing interests and all. =D
