Semi-good?

WHAT ARE YOU EVEN DOING HERE I THOUGH WE WERE TALKING ABOUT BAD FPS xD

(though seriously, how'd you get it that high? any certain graphics card?)

ontopic (lol):

Thanks heaps for making this program, it can be so useful :D/>/> I was thinking of using it with blittle since with the normal paint you can't get as big of pictures.

Normally I don't talk about my secrets with other people but I'll make an exception. I don't have a good GPU (it's just a GTX 760). All I did was shrink the Minecraft window until I reached a desired amount of FPS. Also... running Minecraft on Linux helped me for some reason xD I get 80-120 FPS with shaders on Linux (sometimes just 50. Depends on the shader) and on windows it is just 50-80 FPS.

But I still tend to get around 1k FPS on flat maps when playing full-screen (1920x1080)

Okay then, I updated PAIN again! These changes aren't as big, but you'll notice them.
+Allows you to use '[' and ']' to change colors (use SHIFT for text colors)
+Added lines indicating the max screen size for regular viewing AND blittle (x*2,y*3)
+Added a void of "/"s where you cannot save dots
+Added a warning if any dots are x<0 or y<0

I've been meaning to add lines to the canvas for a while, but didn't care to figure out how until now.

New update! And it's fairly big.
+Added line drawing! Hold SHIFT and drag leftclick
+Added 'Clear' option in menu to clear all dots on frame.
*Fixed saving in grayscale.
*Fixed the 'fix' option, if dots are out of bounds.
*Updated the drawing code; now it fills in dots the "mouse_drag" event didn't pick up
*Optimized dot rendering.
*An easter egg. Press F7.
*Localized a bunch of functions
*Sped up movement with arrow keys
*Can now display normal text files as NFP files, like the default paint program does.

If for some reason you want to use PAIN in CCJam 2016 (and beyond), go right ahead.

Actually, I don't think it's allowed, because you updated it after they posted. I asked about a similar scenario, and the answer was no.

So we can't use PAIN to draw stuff for the CCJam? :o

No, I'm not sure about that. PAIN was first posted well before June 12th, but was updated today. The rule is that any program or API released to the public on or before June 12th are free to use. I'll have to ask.

Cool program!
Will you add text and NFT support?
Also, the JSON format is EXTREMELY inefficient, I strongly suggest you make a custom format to suit your needs.

Text is already supported. Do it with middleclick. And isn't NFT the normal paint format? I thought it was called NFP.

Yeah, agreed. I already got an idea of how to format it next, but I'm having difficulty doing that.


Oh btw NEW UPDATE! You can now draw by holding the mouse button and pressing arrow keys. Like holding a pen down and moving the paper.

This is a small update, but one I should've done a while ago. On pocket computers, the menu was broken, and it would redraw weirdly every time you select a different option...and, uh, now it doesn't.

Also I drew TROGDOR THE BURNINATOR!

Nice!
I love how there is no error checking for the input file, so you can basically do
pain /rom/apis/window
and get some modern art, but you might want to change that :P

Btw NFT is the image format made by nitrogenfingers for NPaintPro.
It supports text and text colours and it's very easy to implement, that's why it's so widely used.

Ahh! I gotta go do that now then!

EDIT: AAHHH why does NFA not use the same format as NFT??

A new update! And a good one!

Spoiler

Changing a bunch of these things has been a thought for a while now, so it's good to finally check them off a to-do list. It's been my pleasure to give you more PAIN!

New update! Press B to preview your picture with the BLittle API! It downloads the API and loads it into memory, and disables menus and prompts. That was another thing I've been meaning to add for a while
Oh, and I added the ability to toggle displaying the grid with SHIFT+SPACEBAR.


To sum it all up, someone please say they both use and like it -- that is more compelling a thing to a developer to continue developing than most people know

Frankly, asking programmers to use something other than their own programs isn't likely to yield results.

Personally I do nearly all my pixel work in MS Paint and an ancient copy of Paint Shop Pro. Despite Microsoft's best efforts to wreck the former with every release of Windows they come out with, mind you. It's all gone downhill for that app since 3.11... but anyway, typically I manually encode from there, typing in the colour data according to what I've drawn.

That said, as drawing programs for ComputerCraft go, this one's pretty good. It's responsive and fairly easy to use (so long as you RTFM).

The one thing I don't get is why you don't use that status bar down the bottom to accept some mouse input for the purposes of eg opening the menu and selecting its options, etc.

Yeah, fair enough. But some feedback wouldn't hurt, y'know...

Thank you. It's always been my pleasure to make more hotkeys than necessary.

Hmm, that's a good idea. You'll find that...in the next update!

And the next update.
+Clicking and dragging on the menubar allows you to select an option by letting go
+Clicking and quickly letting go on the menubar just opens it up
*Fixed bug with skipping a pixel when deleting with right click and arrow keys
*Improved help screen to adapt to size of screen.

Another update!
+Allowed PAIN to be read as an API with os.loadAPI()
+Added 'view' argument after filename, to render picture then close.

The process of turning PAIN into an API was the main problem, but it's for the better.

Lovely looking program. What's unclear in the instructions is what to do with the frames?
You can have multiple frames, but how would you go about animating this in another program?

Sorry, just lazy at the moment.
