No Paint
- tedunangst 6y agoI didn't like anything. Have I gotten old?
- rdiddly 6y agoNo, I hate mine.

- obiefernandez 6y agoTook me a minute to grok what was happening, but once I did it provided around 5 minutes of amusement. I'd love to see it developed further with additional, uhmm, brushes? Not sure what to call the things that actually paint and mod the canvas... Kudos to whoever made it, though. Very creative!
- EE84M3i 6y agoI'm confused, are there controls other than clicking the "No" and "Paint" buttons?
- jstummbillig 6y agoNope. You wait, you press either "No" or "Paint". EDIT: Apparently, I was wrong. See below.
- twicetwice 6y agoActually, there are! You can click below those buttons, where it says the name of the "brush," and it will bring up a full on-screen keyboard (looks like it was meant to be used on phones?) and you can type the name of the "brush" you want. There are some cool ones which seem less common than others? I found "Quicksand" and "Recurse", the latter of which I only saw once naturally, but I could deliberately re-invoke it and got a pretty neat effect in my opinion!
- justanothersys 6y agoYeah I plan to add lots of brushes with parameters so that feature can eventually be used to filter down the stochastic brushes and people can make “recipes” for one another to get interested in both painting and programming.
- kwhitefoot 6y agoRight arrow selects the next brush. Left arrow cancels the effect of the current brush and selects another.
- justanothersys 6y agoYeah and spacebar opens the command prompt so you can type - with up and down arrows to pause and unpause.
- mlindner 6y agoEverything seems to be preferentially placed on the left side.
- DevopsQuestions 6y agoThis put a smile on my typically stressed face. I love how lighthearted it is. Thanks!

- Borish_Johnson 6y agoThat's silly and fun :) I can't grok why its getting up voted though.
- rmujica 6y agoFor some reason it made me feel that this could have been a minigame inside Game Boy Camera... The trippy factor is similar, thanks!
- liquidify 6y agoWow, that was a waste of time.
- justanothersys 6y agoPainting has always been considered a waste of time.
- abledon 6y agogood 5-15 minute game for a party with a lazer projector and a lot of booze and acid
- jvolkman 6y agoNote: it's better with sound.
- catsdanxe 6y agoIf I had some cocaine money to launder I bet I could get $10,000,000 for my piece.
- mysterEFrank 6y agoCould be cool combined with something like https://github.com/deepmind/spiral https://github.com/deepmind/spiral

- peterkos 6y agoThe music/sfx is amazing. Feels super "old internet" :D
- nthitz 6y agoReminds me of some of the effects in KidPix, sound and all.
- serf 6y agoI came here to say the same thing, the brush sound effects take me back to sitting on my old Macintosh Quadra, messing around aimlessly -- doodling on kidpix. I think I played Myst on that machine too.
- DavidSJ 6y agoSuch nostalgia. I remember Kid Pix and Myst on my Mac IIsi.
- justanothersys 6y agoI actually made a little film about the inventor of Kid Pix last year that you might dig: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BxoY-_HQOK0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BxoY-_HQOK0
- seven4 6y agoThis was fun. I wonder if the code/algo behind this tends towards a certain type of painting or "average". Reminds me of this video that shows what the youtube codec tends towards over a 1000 reuploads https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JR4KHfqw-oE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JR4KHfqw-oE
- bcoates 6y agoIt's crazy how severe that a/v sync issue is. Is that something with his setup or is YouTube just terrible?
- throwaway1777 6y agoHis setup is normal. It’s a recreation of well known audio experiment https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Am_Sitting_in_a_Room https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Am_Sitting_in_a_Room
- saghm 6y ago> Lucier said that a performance need not use his text, and that the performance may be recorded in any room.[citation needed] I can't help but feel like the "citation needed" should be after "Lucier said". Otherwise, it reads like it's saying that the fact that it could work in any room with any text needs a citation.
- smoe 6y agoHe mentions this at some point. Youtube shifts back the audio track ever so slightly on upload. After 800ish uploads it is completly gone from the video. But I don't understand why this would happen.
- majewsky 6y agoIf you don't have 15 minutes to waste on exposition, this is the first video that did this, and it's only 3 minutes total: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icruGcSsPp0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icruGcSsPp0

- marcusestes 6y agoI was about to say this feels like a Jeffrey Scudder piece. Then I hit the about, and it IS a Jeffrey Scudder piece. Jeffrey, I love your work, and it's great to see you making more paint tools!
- justanothersys 6y agoThank you! This is basically a prototype I put together over the last few weeks because I posted the old version (https://nopaint.org.jas.life https://nopaint.org.jas.life) on my TikTok and kids really loved it!
- akully 6y agoThat was silly but very fun. Are you using ML algos to generate the paint based on the user input?
- moron4hire 6y agoI can't tell. Is this a trick question?
- justanothersys 6y agoNo it’s a novelty based approach and the only learning that takes place is inside you at the moment. It’s just a MVP because I thought the idea of a one handed painting app could help people who fell out of doodling get back into the fun of it.
- johnflanigan 6y agoThat was fun, my creation: https://imgur.com/a/40Sv94U https://imgur.com/a/40Sv94U
- jtolmar 6y agoThat's such a dumb way to paint. Great job! Here's one: https://i.imgur.com/9efzWaC.png https://i.imgur.com/9efzWaC.png
- eganist 6y agoI like this. I think I took a similar direction but with more manipulation of the whole image rather than brushwork. https://i.imgur.com/RaGmLKg.png https://i.imgur.com/RaGmLKg.png - goatee man smoking https://i.imgur.com/1lN9iBE.png https://i.imgur.com/1lN9iBE.png - with smoke (I skipped committing this one to the canvas though. Want to see if I can do a better take on it in the morning)

- karmelapple 6y agoMario Paint-esque feel with the sound effects. I dig it.
- jjice 6y agoI absolutely love the sounds. Makes the whole thing feel very playful.

- mod 6y agoYou've got a cool part middle left that I think very much looks like street graffiti.
- CommonGuy 6y agoClicking "Paint" kills my Brave tab (on Android). Anyone else have this issue?
- colordrops 6y agoAh maybe that's why this site isn't working for me - I'm using Brave - on Linux.
- mwambua 6y agoSeems like the perfect way to train an agent to learn to paint things that people like.

- summadatsmak 6y agothis is the stupidest fucking shit I have ever witnessed in my long life on this miserable earth
- stagas 6y agoYou are missing the opportunity. When you are not used to alternate models and when something like this doesn't fit any of your current ones, it is frustrating - but at the same time it forces you to re-evaluate those models and for a little while you become a child and witness reality. Then you realize that the point is not to achieve or to impress but to enjoy the current moment as it is presented without any judgements. This is postmodern art. The world is a catastrophy, everything is stupid fucking shit and it has always been that way, all we can do is ease each other's journey and sentiments like these you are projecting are not helping neither you or anyone.
- stephenhandley 6y agoyeah or its just a tired aesthetic? guess its cool yr getting all transcendent with it tho lol
- stagas 6y agoYes it is! And that's what makes it art. The judgements you are both making are valid but then you'll see that they are also ridiculous because you can still have fun with it even though it basically tries to be wrong in every aspect. This is just an example but this applies everywhere. Judgements are just concepts, habits, nothing else, they don't attach to real experience. It shows you your habit.
- stagas 6y agoAnd I'm also gaslighting you both, it shows me my habit. It's amazing.

- makach 6y agoThe lack of spaceships (8===D) is good for work but disappointing from a humorous point of view, I suppose ambivalently.
- shakascchen 6y agoI would take its being played as one of the evidences that humans have the tendency to do creative activities.

- feiss 6y agoInteresting, although a bit boring for me, sorry :( Coincidentally, I recently made a quick experiment in Pico-8 about different ways to paint on a canvas using single pixels http://feiss.be/exp/pixelpainters/ http://feiss.be/exp/pixelpainters/
- tempodox 6y agoDoesn't seem to work in desktop Safari: [Error] WebGL: CONTEXT_LOST_WEBGL: loseContext: context lost [Error] TypeError: null is not an object (evaluating 'this.GetMainRunningLayout()._OnWebGLContextLost') [Error] Unhandled Promise Rejection: Error: Error compiling fragment shader: null [Error] Unhandled Promise Rejection: TypeError: null is not an object (evaluating 'this.GetMainRunningLayout()._Load')
- justanothersys 6y agoWhat Safari / macOS version? I’ll report a bug in the game engine I used to throw this thing together.
- tempodox 6y agoSafari 13.1.1, macOS 10.14.6.
- justanothersys 6y agoInteresting it works in my 13.1.1 just fine. Thank you!
- AshleysBrain 6y agoWe make the engine this was made with (Construct 3). This looks like a problem with our engine if Safari loses the WebGL context at just the wrong time. I'd guess it's rare, but I patched this for the next release of our software just in case. Note sometimes WebGL context loss is unrecoverable though - it can happen if the GPU driver crashes, for example.
- penussies 6y agoI really hate the stamps. All of them are ugly as sin.
- pocak 6y agoTook me a while to get past the home screen. I kept clicking 'paint' at the bottom and 'no' at the top.
- justanothersys 6y agoNoted
- outime 6y agoI can't tell why but I really love the music, it's really cool and somehow cute. It's overall fun and wish it had more "brushes".
- pbhjpbhj 6y agoIt's like Tuxpaint creations of a two year old, similar sounds too.
- turblety 6y agoIt crashes for me, (using Brave 1.10.90 on macOS 10.15.5), then I click the paint button with Error code: RESULT_CODE_UNINSTALL_USER_CANCEL. Works fine in Safari though.
- justanothersys 6y agoIt might be related to LocalStorage - thanks for reporting.
- comboy 6y agoI want to see something made by the model when we're done training it. And if you are not doing ML with all those user inputs, I'm extremely disappointed.
- justanothersys 6y agoI’m not collecting any user inputs (yet) because my audience mostly consists of minors.
- caspervonb 6y agoThis is dumb, I love it.
- 1_player 6y agoIncredibly smooth on iOS Safari, I like the tactile interface and the sound feedback. Original UI design language. 10/10 fun idea, outstanding execution.
- tonetheman 6y agoBrilliant work. Might turn off the sounds though. Great idea!
- justanothersys 6y agoYou can type ‘Mute’ in the command prompt at the bottom while painting. And thanks so much for the compliment.
- quda 6y agoLame app.
- AshleysBrain 6y agoIt's great to see a game made with our web game engine Construct 3 appear on Hacker News! (https://www.construct.net/ https://www.construct.net/) For those curious about the technical details, you might be interested to know the game code is running entirely off the main thread in a Web Worker and rendering directly from there with WebGL 2 using OffscreenCanvas (in Chrome where it's supported anyway, it has fallbacks). Nice to see this working out in the wild. I blogged about this architecture here previously: https://www.construct.net/en/blogs/ashleys-blog-2/performance-isolation-html5-1512 https://www.construct.net/en/blogs/ashleys-blog-2/performanc...
