What tools should I add for me project, Scratch Paint?

Heres the idea. There is a large canvas. No bars on the top or bottom to choose tools or anything, except for a tiny button, which will show in hide at different times so you can access the tool menu by clicking on it, but you can see draw over where it is. By clicking it, you can access the tool menu, where you can clear the canvas, choose your color, choose the pen size, and choose the tool, etc. Here's what the tool screen looks like so far...

On the bottom left you can choose the color... to the left of that you can choose the pen size... to the left of that there is a button so you can go to the canvas, and above that there is an Erase All button to clear the canvas. But in the top right, there is an area for choosing tools. Before I can start putting the buttons, I need to choose what tools to have. Which ones?

-Free-drawing
-Straight-lines
-Rectangles/Squares
-Circles/Elipses (?)
-Spray-paint

Please help me with ideas  smile

Re: What tools should I add for me project, Scratch Paint?

You should try adding a curve tool. It might be difficult, but worth it. The circle and elipse tool would be fantastic, but hard to implement.

You should also have different types of brushes, like a circle brush or square brush. (To do this, you'd have to have a shaped sprite that followed the mouse and stamped itself...)

Looks like a really cool project, would be great to see the finished project!  smile

Looks really nice. Maybe some different textured brushes. Opacity would make it revolutionary also.

But then there would be huge gaps in between.  I've tried that method, its no good.

It's a bit hard to explain.....it's kind of like how transparent a drawing is. Difficult  tongue

Something that's never been done on scratch before: A paint bucket tool. (well to my knowledge, not been done before)

That would be VERY difficult. Emphasis on VERY. Its doable, I know jens has done it, and music man has word on it, but its still inaccurate.

You just have the fill-in thing have different costumes with different base colors.

Its a lot more complicated than that.

You're probably thinking about something like this, but considering it has to fill in whatever you draw, it has to be more like this.

Yeah I plan on adding that, along with making backgrounds with varying colors and such.

An export feature to export image to a real image format . You just need to make the list to write the data in a image format u can get more info about these on THE INTERNET

Not that that's impossible, but it is impractical. First of all, a tiny 1 dot sprite would have to read over an entire image to check what colors there are there. It just takes to long.

1. Going to every location on the screen (my program uses entire screen)
2. Checking many many many different colors.

Those are the key factors. To see what it would actually look like scaled down, here's a project goch made which reads most of the entire screen (1. It's scaled down because of borders 2. It changes x and y positions by 10, not 1, so it's quicker), and then turns it into a mosaic.

Making a mosaic feature if that's what you're then thinking, than possibly. But again, most likely not.
