I’m trying to make an old fashion dress up game.
I got the images to be draggable, huzzah! But I want the page to load with them stacked into different piles if possible. Right now they’re loading on top of each other in a vertical row. I plan on having a lot more images and I wanted to sort them into stacks with an area to the side for dressing the doll if that makes sense? If anyone can help me, I’d appreciate it! :)
I don’t know what your code looks like, it would help to get a little hint of how you’re implementing things. How does the dragging work? How do you put the clothing items on the page?
Assuming CSS is relevant here, some combination of the position attribute and z index is probably right.
To achieve the ‘slightly offset stack’ look of a dressup game you might need some extra, adventurous javascript or dynamic css but I’m not sure.
How do I share code here? I was going to link to the page but it said I couldn’t post a link.

Sorry about that, you’ll be able to post links after being active for a bit longer (I think 2 weeks but I might be pulling that out of my ass)
In the meantime you can paste code using markdown. Surround your code in backticks ( ` ). It says here on the discourse meta page that you can use three of them on the line before and after your code to make it register line breaks which is cool, I didn’t realize it could do that ^^"
OKAY yes when I typed ``` it automatically made this uhh. Code box thing. I think it even has syntax highlighting for some languages? Not html though which sucks
you’ll want to use absolute positioning, most likely, although there are other ways to do this depending on what kind of setup you’re looking for particularly. i have a small explanation of absolute positioning, negative margins & z-index on my tutorials page that might be helpful?
there is also this premade dollmaker script/template - that might be easier to use than figuring it out from scratch?
