Amazing job!"},{"author_name":"galman","author_uid":"5971","time":"May 17, 2013 @ 2:01pm","epoch":1368798960,"text":"Really cool brush painting simulator!

Should run on Linux if you have Pygame installed. There's no audio.\r\n\r\nThis game simulates painting with a brush. You have to regularly dip your brush into paint in order to draw, and you have to mix the colors by yourself. It is not really a game in the usual sense, but you can try to replicate any image files by drawing over them, and receive numeric feedback about their matching.\r\n\r\nI think this \"game\" represents minimalism by reducing color drawing to a single simple mechanic of pressing (left click) your brush (mouse cursor) to the paper, while still (at least theoretically) allowing complex images to be painted.\r\n\r\nThere is an in-game manual.\r\n\r\nPostmortem:\r\nhttp:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/2013\/05\/03\/postmortem-12\/\r\n<\/p>","title":"But...
