New PC paintprogram for c64
Some of you might already know this, but i've been working on a paintprogram of my own for some time now.
It's based on Paint.Net (http://www.eecs.wsu.edu/paint.net/ (check it out, it's great (and free!))), so it has layer functionality, effects, all default tools, antialiasing, unlimited history and more fancy stuff you'll only find in that program and photoshop but my adaptation also has filters to convert to c64 formats (FLI, koala and single color bitmap but also the option to convert to sprites and more).
On top of that you can paint and draw in single and multicolour mode with all 16 c64 colours and a transparent colour.
Here's a screenshot of what it currently looks like and shows some of the features:

It currently doesn't export anything, because i'm not quite sure how to implement that yet, so any suggestions are welcome :)
For the moment i'd like to get some feedback and in about a month (I have to put together a document first on how to use it) I'll be putting out a first alpha version which people can test (this requires windows 2000/server 2003/XP and the .Net framework 1.1)
Cheers,
Mirage/Focus |

I have my doubts when it comes to compiling dotnet 2.0 sources with Mono, it might work though..
I tried downloading the source of Paint.net, but for some reason they keep it on a single server which quickly drops its speed to about 0.4kB/s and stalls after a while :(
Then I tried installing the DotNet framework 2.0.whatever under Wine, but that failed too (directories got created, but no files). However, I've yet to read a report of someone actually getting dot.net (2.0) to run under Wine, so it's not just me :)
Maybe I'm better off creating some plugins for the Gimp, they seem to be quite simple to implement.

It WAS up there... bummer that Mirage pulled it. From what I have seen, it is a FANTASTIC tool. I am more or less just "playing" with it now and not doing anything serious with it yet, though.
Perhaps Mirage doesn't think it is quite "ready for prime time", but from what I have seen, I am amazed.

putting aside my envyness, I must confess: this is THE tool for drawing pics on pc. I'm really curious how the dithering works in the converter, never ever seen it done so awesomely perfect. (check WVL's convert)
Mirage, you should release this, instead of teasing us :) |

believe me, you don't want to be a beta tester... the program is too complex as it is now... unless a majority of beta testers say it's ready for the public i won't release it yet... sorry :(
Hein, Sander, Krill, Scout, WVL, (Deev?), hollowman... ready for public release? |

I'd wait until you got rid of that GDI bug at least :) The rest of the things do not seem really troublesome to me :D |
