I'm currently working on the third drawing program, Artist 3.0. Unlike Artist 2.0, I'm not recreating the entire project but updating it greatly. I'd really appreciate it if you read this post and gave me some ideas. Before anything else, I'd suggest you first look at Artist 2.0. Become familiar with the program. After you're done, I need some ideas for Artist 3.0. I'm not focusing on too many new tools this time as much as tool customization. What do you think could be customizable that will make the project better? What new tools should I implement? Do you have any new ideas for the tracer tool's manipulations (in the top-left in advanced)? I need good fresh ideas; think outside of the box.

Before anything else, I want to introduce one of my new main features, code central. It is here where you can type in a code from a list, and edit that specific customizable option. Code central hides the entire menu and shows 3 lists: “help”, “Code”, and “Description”. I add codes as customizable options to this, such as his many beams the shooting star should have. Here are my ideas so far. Thank you for your help!

Ideas

-code central, where you enter specific codes from a list of codes and enter parameters to customize tools specifically
-select the location on the canvas where the tracer tool should compress
-vertically flip the tracer tool
-New Tool- pen size changes based on the mouse's speed of movement dracae

Do you already have one where the pen size changes based on mouse speed?

Great idea! And it'll be pretty easy to measure the distance using the Pythagorean theorem and saving the mouse's previous position in a variable.

Thanks!

I was thinking, the faster you move, the larger the pen.
So moving slowly for precise drawing, and fast for a quick and large sketch.
