That _usually_ doesn't work out well. Depends on the setting and aim though. If you give it a logical thought, there's a great number of practical problems you run into.

What else then just a 'Koala' painter with two pointers?

designing a game around the idea and let two ppl pixel "against" each other would be funny :)

Well, zooming and stuff would require a double split screen in order for both ppl to work parallel on it.
So who do you start? With a generic outline of a figure, or do you try to meet halfway at the screen? Or what about choice dithering and choice of colors..

To name a few practical problems. Ofcourse theoretically it's possible, yet I have never seen an attempt being succesful.

And that was my point - too bad you didn't quote that part ;)

zooming could work with an amicapaint style mini-zoom ... i see more problems with things like selecting drawing color, or brushes/tools/whatever. everything would have to exist twice on the keyboard, without clashes etc.

but it still sounds like a funny idea :)

why not modify a c64 to hold 8 joysticks, and do a joystick controlled music editor, so 8 people could compose against eachother.. with a lameness detection so only the good stuff would be played (as sid only has 3 voices)...
anyways, just an idea... and possibly a quite silly one ;-)

How about adding network functionality to an existing paint program, so several c64's can send the changes to the picture to eachother? Then twoflower could get help finishing his compopic and wouldnt be stuck with his c64 and mastersystem pad the whole party.
