Custom images with pixel-art in Gimkit Creative! [🟩]

Yup that’s right! Custom images, I know you have all been asking! With this method, you can have pixel-art in your Gimkit creative worlds. Just follow these steps Go to a google doc, or other writing software and create your pixel-art out of emojis. Please note that it is important to have a filler pixel, such as the white one I am using here, that surrounds the entire picture, this allows Gimkit to format it correctly.

This is somewhat similar to an already present guide, but this version takes a different approach:

The main difference is that the linked guide uses emojis while this one uses the box character which means zero gaps.

Another difference is that the box character can be customized to any color you want.

This guide can be done on both the forum and on Gimkit Maps.

Materials

1. Text Box (any amount)
2. Unicode characters:

Box Character
Character: [ █ ] - copy & paste - Box character to fill text.

Blank Character
Character: [ ⠀] - copy & paste - Larger space.

Spaces: space - Used for smaller spaces in making pixel art when poorly aligned.

Tutorial

Gimkit

1. Aquire the text device.
2. Edit the text. Insert the █ character in order to add the “pixels”.
   ALL TEXT IN GIMKIT WILL BE CENTERED! USE THE SPACE KEY OR THE BLANK CHARACTER which is [⠀] TO CENTER IT OUT
3. [Optional: Change the size of the text box.]
4. [Optional: Change the color of the text box.]
5. For multiple colors, repeat Steps 1-4. Align that text box as needed, so it stays consistently aligned.

Gimkit Example:

Forum

1. Add the █ icon in a code/quote block.
2. To add a gap, use the [⠀] character.

yeah, nice guide :D
though i believe if you use the staatlitches font or whatever, there won’t be any spaces with emojis, you’ll just have to reposition textboxes to fit in with the image/object you’re tryinf to recreate i may be wrong though
this could be used for a game where you have to piece the text together like a puzzle
