Re: [Tuxpaint-devel] Tux Paint 0.9.34 features to try out

[Pere P. i C. <per...@gm...>]

Hi all,

I've found something with translucent brushes/erasers, 
not sure if it is by design:

Start with a white canvas and paint something solid black,
Change the brush to a translucent one and the color to white,
paint many times with white over the black spot,
you will never get the canvas white again with the translucent brush,
there will always be some shade of grey there.

Same thing happens with translucent erasers.

>  * "ASCII Art" magic tools
>    (This was fun and challenging to write, but came out well!)
>    Convert your picture to ASCII art (letters, numbers, and
>    symbols that reflect the brightness/darkness of the pixels).
>    Three options: typewriter (a typewriter font on white,
>    in the user-selected color), computer (IBM CGA 8x16 pixel
>    font on black, in the user-selected color), and color computer
>    (same as computer, but using 16 horrid CGA colors to represent
