Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is by far the best homebrew paint app for nds! .
Can't test it right now but have you fixed the issue with the circle tool?

[BassAceGold]

Yup circle tool issues are fixd 

[Prince Gohan]

This app is really fun and addicting to use! It should definitely win 1st. Here's a suggestion though: you should add a circle fill tool. That would improve my drawing experience greatly! Thanks.

Yup circle tool issues are fixd  

That's great , since this was the only issue in your latest ver that could affect the fun factor of your app

Updated to 1.3b fixing a few bugs and adding filled circle tool

I'll be straight.. Dont hate me for this. ^^"
But I dont understand the purpose of this app anymore. Its not trying to be like photoshop/phidias -- no layers, colors! -- without antialiasing sketching isnt that good, nor mspaint -- too many unnecessary features. I dont know what art style I'll be using this for now. Sorry but I just dont get it. ^^"
The earlier versions were alot better, which was more like a low-end paint program which was excellent for pixel art. ^^"

[BassAceGold]

It has all the features of MS paint, + 2 extra like stamps which are handy for tile stuff and music player which is good if you don't have an music player handy,so I'm not sure how there are too many unnecessary features. It is directed more towards pixel art, it still does the basics and slightly advanced stuff without all the clutter and confusion of the old interface, and everything I add to it are features which artists request. If it doesn't suit you, you don't need to use it. If it does then great Just cause it has a bunch of features doesn't mean you need to use all of em.

[soulanger]

Yeah, I guess I might have been too harsh with it. I might try giving it a second chance.

[blastyrant]

hey soulanger, aren't you that guy who claimed he was going to develope a firmware killer over a year ago but has yet to release it?

"men-u-do" or something?

back on topic:
this app is great, it has progressed well. i've throw it on every flash linker i've set up. i like the music playback. its fun to draw to tunes.

[soulanger]

[offtopic]
Yes, I was, but I dont recall claiming that my program will be a firmware killer. You might have confused another person's words with mine.
It was supposed to be out during this month's NeoCompo. Sadly, I had some bugs with my wifi features -- mainly on the client side and a bit in the serverside code. It was all bad luck.. I'm thinking of releasing a tease app, before NeoCompo ends.

Sorry bout that, Bass you were right. I just to use the new versions to be more comfortable with them. Anyway, its still a great app, you just need to have a grip with the new stuffs if you still use the older builds.

Updated to 1.30c

Please upload the tool on another server, because the first server is not available and I don't have access to the mirror. Thanks in advance.
