Instead, I'm hoping the enjoyment comes from sharing and viewing images that you, and other users, create. \r\n\r\nCommunicating with my server, and implementing online features was relatively simple.  The thing that actually took the longest was figuring out a flood-fill algorithm.  What I ended up doing is FAR from perfect, but it actually creates a pretty cool visual effect.\r\n\r\nControls should be relatively familiar.  The left mouse button does just about everything.  The eraser is treated like a color, so you can use it with any of the tools. \r\n\r\nYou can save multiple images to your temporary internet files, but you can only load\/share one image with other users over the web.  Of course, this one image can be changed at any time.  Please note, to share a drawing, you must create an account within the app.\r\n\r\nThe application is far from perfect (the circle tool is crap), but I'm actually quite happy with it. I hope you enjoy the application, and I'm looking forward to seeing what images you all share. As always, feedback is welcome.\r\n\r\n<\/p>","title":"Paint Share"}
