Painting the walls

A wall is a paintable surface rather than fixed decoration.

Walls in Supermarket Simulator can be painted as well as floors: the game keeps them as paintable surfaces, knows each wall by its own identifier, and colours them from paint buckets you carry.

In play

Walls are paintable surfaces. The game treats a wall as something that can be painted rather than as fixed decoration, which is why the look of the shop can change without rebuilding the room.

Each wall knows which one it is. Walls carry an identifier of their own, so a colour is applied to a particular wall instead of being sprayed across the whole building at once.

The paint comes out of a bucket. Colours are chosen from paint buckets, and a bucket has its own placing mode, which is why painting is something you hold and carry rather than something hidden in a settings screen.

The colour itself is kept as data. The game stores the colours and the painted result as their own records, so the wall and whatever was put on it remain two separate pieces of information.

It survives leaving the shop. The bucket and the painted wall are both saved, which is why a shop you painted last week is still painted when you come back to it.

What this entry does not tell you: how many colours exist, what a bucket costs, or whether wall colours change how customers behave. We have not verified those numbers, so we do not print them.
