New for this version is the fuzzy brush, remembering pressure calibration between sessions and a lot of minor changes.

Enjoy!

(I suck at remembering what I’ve changed, sorry.)

For some time I’ve been messing around with some homebrew stuff for handheld platforms. I’m incredibly impressed with how far it has progressed with things like devkitPro which is a user-friendly collection of some of the reversed-engineered SDKs that are available for different platform and easily rival the official versions.

Especially the handheld platforms really intrigue me since there is a lot of potential there for new types of games and applications. Colors! is a program I’ve developed that I released a couple of weeks back that are along those lines. It’s more or less a digital sketchpad on the fly, which I’m currently having a lot of fun with.

I’m going to talk a bit more about handheld homebrew in general, but if you want to check out Colors! you can go here.
