Fun with Paint
Posted: Thu May 02, 2024 4:47 pm
Playing around with Tools palette(s) got me thinking about something I've thought about for a long while... which is building a FUN painting app, the sort kids and the young at heart would enjoy, something reminiscent of MacPaint/SuperPaint, KidPix, Disney Paint, Kia's Power Goo, etc.
In particular I really enjoyed Brush Symmetry / Paint Multiples that was in MacPaint (and later SuperPaint) and HyperCard 1.x (and disappeared in later versions), and started to think (again) about how such things could script controlled while live painting.
I found a nice code snippet shared by Bernd (Bn) circa 2016 that helped get it going.
It's a start.
