Pixel Art! - Create Art From Pixels... - Tina - Sep 10, 2013

Decided to try and make a pixel art tool with HTML 5 and jQuery. Overall, I think it turned out good.

Visit Site!

Instructions:
- To create a pixel, either click "New Pixel!" on the right, or press "p" on the keyboard.
- Pressing "space" on the keyboard will create a new pixel without resetting the new pixel's position.
- You can go back to pixels you've already placed. Just click on a pixel again to toggle it.
- To delete the currently toggled pixel, either click "Delete Pixel" on the right, or press "d" on the keyboard.

Features:
- Save your work and come back to it later.
- Take a screenshot of your pixel art.

To-Do:
- Update design.
- Add more shortcuts.

All I could get working was moving the pixel around the screen but that was still fun xD

Will be great to play around with when it is finished.

This is pretty cool, had some fun playing around with it.

Fixed all the issues I came across such as pixels going off the canvas. Loading and saving work just fine now. Added a few shortcut keys as well as redesigning a few aspects.

Could you make the pixel cruising a bit smoother please?

Alright, done. Made it smoother. Not sure if it's smooth enough or not, didn't want to over-do it.

In my opinion, it's still not as fluid as it should be for easy drawing.

Not sure how I can make it more fluid. Just causes issues if I try animating it. Adjusted it a bit more, made it a bit more smooth. About as smooth as I can get it to be without making it feel "sluggish". Might play around with it more later.

Also, added a shortcut for the space bar. Pressing it will make a new pixel as well, without resetting the new pixel's position.
