Ive been thinking that the following would look great as a texture pack:

Unfortunately I have no idea how to create something like that. Can someone perhaps… uhh do it?

Thanks very much.

Could you clarify? I haven’t the slightest idea what you’re asking.

I’m sort of wondering if someone could make (or tell me how to make) a texture pack / gui pack for CDDA that uses the images in that picture. Basically the same color coding the vanilla game uses but with those blocks.

So you want just colored blocks (with minor geometry) to represent everything?  
If so, that would be simple to do… still time consuming.  
Grab a couple tools [Tiled](http://www.mapeditor.org) and the [Missing Tile checker](http://smf.cataclysmdda.com/index.php?topic=4107.0) and get to work! 🙂

I suppose it could look very nice, sure, but I can’t imagine playing with a tileset like this. It would take so much time and brain capacity to learn to recognise each combination of four differently coloured triangles in a square as a specific thing in the game world.  
I really don’t want to diminish your creativity, but I would be surprised if it actually turned out to be worth the effort.  
Heck, I don’t know, maybe you’re just way smarter than me and won’t have any problem with learning to associate these simplistic tiles with the game world.  
Good luck!
