Writing over motivational quotes
Inspiration
The inspiration came when I was messing around with pygame. I realized that I had a childlike enjoyment for simply moving a circle across the screen with my mouse. This made me think of creating a drawing program with few features and no UI- just pure drawing.
What it does
Lets you draw by holding the mouse button and moving the cursor. The only other tools are an eraser, equipped by right-clicking, and a colour picker, equipped by middle-clicking. The user can also load in images with transparency if they want to trace over an image they like.
How I built it
I used pygame's mouse and graphical functionality as well as basic programming skills. Some math was required for smoother drawing, but most of the program runs on beginner code.
Challenges I ran into
I tried to add a zoom function and the ability to move the canvas, but I had to scrap it because I couldn't get it working.
Recommendations
Try tracing over a cartoon elephant. They're super cute!
