Etch-a-Sketch

This is pretty much the first thing I've made in PureBasic...well, that I'll let other people see. The rest is either half made or overly buggy.
It's based on something I made in GameMaker quite a long time ago, but cooled up a lot and better made.

Colour boxes along the bottom change the colour, the two last ones with the tab beneath let you set custom colours.
BG indicates the Background colour.
Save lets you save.
The button with the arrows going left clears the screen.
The arrows in the bottom right let you move the point one pixel at a time, for precision.
The 'about' button on the side is just the program information.

So, yeah, feedback and suggestions are quite welcome

nice

its actually pretty relaxing to sit and just draw some random stuff!

edit:
how do i make the window bigger? just a little bit!
and a small bug, not only the about button brings
about on the screen, but the whole right edge of the program does.

Cool!! I went back 40 years in time instantly...

but?!?!? Ehhhh... How much I'll shake my Laptop the screen doesn't clear?!? Should I turn the Laptop upside down and shake?

Thanks for the feedback ^^

I fixed the bug, pretty simple, my bad >.>;
As for the window size, this was originally designed as a minigame for another game, that's why the window's so small, but it has been getting to me, see we'll see what happens...

I'll see what I can so about laptop shaking too <-<

it would be nice with a function that makes an animated effect like shaking the screen, and clearing the pic

Thanks for the suggestion, the lines now shake when you click clear

I wanted to make it so when you shake the window by dragging it, it'll clear, but alas I couldn't think of an exact way to do so...
Cleaned up to the code a bit too ^_^

Not a lot has changed as it?

I like it. So whens the Virtual Pet due for release? BTW I laughed twice when I looked at this lot of posts. Once because I saw you used to use GameMaker, of which I used to use (am still a registered member, not that I use it anymore). The second time because when I noticed you were from Australia I was curious as to where, and realised you only live 100kms away (or so - geography was never my strongest skill).

Anyway top stuff - keep at it.
