Hi everyone,
I'd just like to announce my new project: ASCII-Paint. It is a drawing
program which uses ASCII characters instead of pixels. Although it can
be used by anyone I am trying to make it especially for rougelike
developers. The main reason I started working on it is because I
needed to do some drawings of how my rougelike would look without
writing lots of code. It uses the awesome libtcod (which I must say is
a pleasure to use).

This is the first released version so expect to see some bugs etc ;).
The project page can be found here:

http://code.google.com/p/ascii-paint/

Currently there is an exectuable version for windows and a source code
version.

Please check it out and let me know what you think.


Of course my opinion might be a bit biased, but I find it awesome !
Great work on the UI intuitiveness.
Also congratulations for having mastered the undocumented and rather
rough gui library !
Do you mind if I add it to libtcod's project page ?

Now some feature requests :
* I think the menu fading should rather be enabled/disabled in
options. When disabled, the GUI switch should use a more simple key,
like TAB instead of CTRL-H.
* A symbol picking screen would be cool, with the same principle as
the color picking screen
* it would be cool to have shortcuts to be able to easily lighten/
darken current foreground / background color by a small amount
(defined in options). You could do it only for the primary color to
avoid having 8 shortcuts, and add another shortcut to switch primary/
secondary settings
* it would be cool to have an opacity level on colors. Instead of
replacing the color by the new one, do a lerp between current color
and the new one
* be able to export independently background color (as png),
foreground color (as png) and text (as... text...)

Very impressive. Keep on the good work !
