I have used spreadsheets for designing floor plans and building elevation etc. I used each cell to represent 3 inch by 3 inch area. In more detail views I used each cell for a square inch area.
Spreadsheets (specifically Excel) are the most general-purpose end-user software I have ever seen. I saw people using it for art/painting. Someone used it for demonstrating graphics shaders and ray-tracing.

- bayindirh 1y agoMy favorite tool for that kind of precision work is OmniGraffle. It can create label sheets and technical drawings with ease. The page [0] doesn't show it, but it can draw with millimeter precision for technical drawings. [0]: https://www.omnigroup.com/omnigraffle/ https://www.omnigroup.com/omnigraffle/

- Xss3 1y agoI've used it for designing never ending platformer game. An excel file determines zones where the next platform can be generated relative to the end of the current one. Blue cell is the current platforms end, green cells are easy places to jump to, yellow medium, red are hard. Makes it very easy to adjust difficulty. Want hard mode harder? Reduce the amount of red squares to only the hardest jumps. Want it easier? Colour some of the yellows in red. Etc.
