[+][SUG][PL/ED] Eraser Piece Graphic Set

[GigaLem]

This can be applied to the legacy and community editions to NL, Basically a series of blank white shapes, curves and such of varying sizes for the purpose of erasing and grouping. I was a bit hesitant to suggest it but Namida didn't mind the idea when I spoke about it on Discord.

While the System test set has some pieces that can fit, im talking Concave and Convex curves, S pen slopes, Right Angle slopes of varying degrees even resizable pieces for measuring or mass erasing.

I actually think this would be very useful to have. It doesn't necesserially have to be official - while it might be a bit different in purpose from other styles out there, it's still a useful tool for building levels and thus I'd see it as absolutely valid to submit as a style, so if WillLem doesn't want to take this on as an official supported thing, you'd be more than welcome to just make it as "gigalem_erasers". (Personally, if I were still developing NL, I'd simply accept it as just "erasers" if you wanted, but that's WillLem's / the community's decision at this point.)

Do be mindful of that NL is not going to force people to use it as erasers, and thus - while it might be weird - people would be allowed to actually use them as non-eraser pieces to make levels. I'm not saying you would, but just in case, do be mindful that no one is going to force people to ONLY use the pieces as erasers - advise maybe, force no.

Agreed, by all means create an "erasers" set and we can add it to the styles collection.

I can picture something like this
one each of a 1x1 2x2 4x4 8x8 16x16 32x32 & 64x64 block
Convex and Concave curves, 16x16,32x32 & 64x64
Slopes of the same size
Long slopes and curves 16x32
long piece resizable 4x16, piece can double as a ruler

Sounds like you have a clear idea of what's needed. Go ahead and create the set and we'll add it.

It might be worth looking into whether there's some fairly easy route to create them as SVG (or another vector or code-based format) while still retaining the desired crisp pixel edges. That way, if you later decide that eg a 128x128, or perhaps 24x24, etc, is desirable, it's very quick to create one, just change some parameters and run the generator again. I've found this approach to be extremely productive for functional 3D models, I'd think some parallel exists for 2D.
