New Canvas Added For Drawing Right On New2WP

New Drawing Canvas Added

Update: I decided to make the canvas only available to play with when viewing this post due to how much resources it uses. I am in the process of created a dedicated drawing page with much more than just one brush. It should be ready to use soon. Will update this post when it is.

That's right, its a canvas for drawing which I stole from Paul Irish after he stole it from Mr. Doob and modified it a bit. Go to the bottom of the page and play with it, and try drawing some stars and see what happens ;) thanks to a little something Paul Irish added.

It's based off Mr. Doob's Harmony drawing creation, which I had originally added to the site but had to remove for the time being until I can properly implement it into the site.

canvas testOnce I get the original version created by Mr. Doob working here, we will be planning some cool things that you, yes YOU, can participate in. What kind of things? Does the idea of a design contest sound good? How about a design contest where the tool used to create the designs is right here on the site, using the Canvas we have at the very bottom of the page!

My goal is to create contests for the best user submitted design, drawn at the bottom of the page on this site. It will be a totally original and unique type of design contest and it will be a first of it's kind I'm sure.

So play around with the brush currently up, and look forward to a future of fun with what we have planned here.

  1. Nice effect, but overloads CPU like crazy.


  2. Yeah I know. That's why I plan on making a dedicated page to play with it on. There are more brushes that I am going to add too, that are better and cool than the ribbon brush which you see here.

    And other things like control the color and save the image, etc will also be included when I get that up. I'll be putting that on the dedicated drawing page of course.

    I would like to try and hack it to not use so much memory, but I don't think I could lesson it by much if at all unfortunately.


  3. Oh, did you happen to find the easter egg yet?


  4. No I didn't find the easter egg yet.
