Hi All, I am trying to create a game very similar to the following: [https://www.abcya.com/games/fuzz\_bugs\_factory](https://www.abcya.com/games/fuzz_bugs_factory)

Any thoughts on how I would be able to program painting/filling masks and in the end exporting a new, unique texture that can be used in Phaser?

Hey @Jake.Caron,  
I believe you can make the exact same game with phaser. There is this `setTint` method, you can partially paint an image or sprite([for examples](https://labs.phaser.io/index.html?dir=display/tint/&q=)). About generating new texture’s, there is this [`generateTexture`](https://labs.phaser.io/view.html?src=src%5Cgame%20objects%5Cgraphics%5Cgenerate%20texture%20test.js) method of [`Graphics`](https://labs.phaser.io/index.html?dir=game%20objects/graphics/&q=). I’m not sure about also if animation can be done…

Thanks hcaker, it doesn’t exactly get me to where I need to be, but I do appreciate your help!

I think my main thing to solve right now is how do I update an existing texture?
