I don't know how much this counts as spam, but I made a small paint program over the weekend, and I'd be interested to know what people make of it.



try out here


One thing that seems to confuse people is that there're two separate columns of buttons, the first sets brush type, the second sets size.

Can someone please explain to me how it works? I'd really like to play with this but I don't understand what's happening, and why my brush only seems to make things happen sometimes and doesn't seem to reflect what the image representing it does.

Sure.  There're two columns of buttons - left one represents brush type, right one represents brush size.

Brush size one is obvious (once named), the brush type column is a little less so.  

Here's a qualitative description of what they do

Q - White brush
W - Average dither brush - replaces an area with a solid dithered pattern
E - Automata brush - usually produces noise which can be grown from any area of mixed colour, produces more intricate patterns when used by clicking singly on existing patterned/geometrically simple areas.
R - 'Square' brush.  Makes things darker, tends to create square edges
T - 'Grow' brush - grows black areas.
Y - Black brush

(I think the T one is maybe the most useless of the lot?  I might replace it with something else...)

I think the main way to actually draw with this is to block out areas in black/white, then to use the other brushes to smudge/squidge things around.

Updated it just there.  I added a couple of things, and tweaked some interface stuff (has a larger canvas version, undo, and some interface tweaks).

I'm pretty impressed, guys!  I know it's a little idiosyncratic, but I figure a bit of funkiness can be fun from time to time...

I only have my tablet with me now, so I can finally try it out myself properly.

I like it. In the hands with someone with a knack for art (as in, not me) it's gonna work wonders. This is me doing random things until I got a dude with something that resembles a skull for a head. Then it's mostly me failing at creating a war scene. Durr...?

I couldn't really get the hang of most of the brushes. In the end I just used black, white and dither. Smiley Hand Thumbs Up Right

Yes, I think I'll reduce rather drastically the number of brushes for the next version.

Whoa. You made a Paint program. As in, one that paints with paint, rather than MS Paint.

Crazy stuff! Reminds me of when I'm done with hot chocolate or gritty coffee, swirling around the dregs and making shapes.


Also, a face appears?

Excellent stuff. Very interesting idea, and this sure makes dithering easier! :D
