Hi all,

Not sure if this is the place to put it, but I've just put out my first Facebook app where you can draw stuff then other people can replay them back. I know there's already Graffiti but I've gone further with mine, trying to put as many Photoshop tools/setting in there as I can (with more planned soon), while still allowing people to replay.

Here's an example of a replay (Doesn't need facebook): Link

Or there's the editor here (Need to add the app): Link

Would be nice if some artistic (or not so artistic) people would draw a little something so it not just my squiggles in the top list :P

If this facebook part goes ok, I plan to release a WordPress plugin (for posting on blogs), which might be good drawing tutorial sites and the like.

Any feedback on any aspect most welcome,

- Stuv

Anything specific? If you mean drawing with the mouse, yeh it can be hard.
But if you have a webcam, stay tuned for my new VIRTUAL TABLET experiment thingy coming soon! Basically you point it at your desk and use a regular pen/stick/finger to draw

Awesome App! I just made a really simple picture:

I love the smudge tool. I suggest a paint bucket tool though, to help in filling in stuff.

That actually sounds really interesting.

Also, this one, this one, and if no one saw it before, this one (though I know a few saw it, people commented o.o).

I've finally got around to putting layers in, should hopefully make life easier for most people.

Unfortunately the virtual tablet thing didn't turn out as well as first hoped, the main reason being webcams are too laggy to really feel intuitive. I might release it as an experimental feature later in case someone has a higher speed camera (mine's 30fps) but as it is I don't think many would like it.

The bigger canvas thing could be useful, I did wonder when I first used it about the strange dimensions. I'm no artist by any means but it is a great ap to use.

I know this thread was dead but I blame the Forums random display of dead threads...
