- unpresidented 6y agoSymmetry ads beauty to any crappy stroke :)
- jv22222 6y agoIf you add a very faint guideline in the middle (vertical/horizontal) maybe dashed then it might be easier to purposefully make use of the mirroring. Just a thought. https://www.dropbox.com/s/1rkux1gl903wwoo/Screen%20Shot%202021-01-11%20at%208.59.02%20PM.png?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/1rkux1gl903wwoo/Screen%20Shot%2020...
- nicklarsennz 6y agoIt's not working on mobile for me
- Multicomp 6y agoTried on latest Fennec and AOSP browser for LOS 17.1, no worky. Seems like this is intended for desktop web use. Which while disappointing from one perspective is refreshing from the perspective that (in general) mobile is for consuming and the desktop can be for creating/producing.
- Ninjaneered 6y agoWith radial symmetry, thin lines, and a high amount of split (50+), any amount of scribbling turns beautiful. Really fun, reminds me of being a kid and playing with a Spirograph.
- _underfl0w_ 6y agoSpirograph! That takes me back to simpler days. I was just thinking about this little device the other day but the name eluded me. What fanciful amalgam of search terms must one employ to locate such a thing via search engine? Stymying! Thanks for dropping that gem here. Brilliant.
- onion2k 6y agoI made a Spirograph inspired toy a few years ago - https://autograph.ooer.com/#122.13379668036188,29.70442479412299,83.498243041649 https://autograph.ooer.com/#122.13379668036188,29.7044247941... (Click the Auto button to animate).
- nrclark 6y agoDoesn’t work on iOS :(
- travisd 6y agoI wanted to use my fancy shmancy Apple Pencil!
- strogonoff 6y agoA symmetrical drawing app for iOS that I like is Silk. It might not be perfect for precision drawing, but it’s fun. Many symmetry choices. (No affiliation but I own a copy.)
- justhw 6y agoCool stuff. I made this in 1 min https://ibb.co/7vZV03F https://ibb.co/7vZV03F
- ralusek 6y agoI like it, but it spazzes out pretty frequently for me on MBP and suddenly draws lines through my design towards the center.
- Zababa 6y agoI have the same problem. To reproduce it, select a radial symmetry (works with 1, 3, 5, 10), and try to draw along the vertical axis. At some point, there will be suddenly lines between the center, all of your "current points" and all of their opposite (opposite being the point symmetric to them by the center).
- makach 6y agoAh, that brings back fond memories of DeluxePaint :heart:
- huseyinkeles 6y agoFor now seems like it doesn’t work on iOS. I recommend you to check Sketchbook [0] from Autodesk for doodling on iOS devices. It’s free. It also has the symmetry feature and I use it quite a lot for doodling. It’s so fun! [0] - https://www.sketchbook.com/ https://www.sketchbook.com/
- baumgarn 6y agoThis is nice! It would be much more captivating if the canvas was full window size.
- ghoshbishakh 6y agoThank you, this made my day. Please port for mobile.
- d--b 6y agoI used to spend hours doing this on Deluxe Paint II, back in 1988
- onion2k 6y agoThis is lovely, and I really appreciate that the author has gone to the effort to explain how it works in the repo - https://github.com/uhLeeshUh/Andala https://github.com/uhLeeshUh/Andala
- mattjoyce 6y agoVery nice, and fun too. I wanted more colours, almost right away. No orange, but a black background!!!
- thraxil 6y agoReminds me a lot of the paint app we used to use with the KoalaPad back in the 80's: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JXi1WSSfHw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JXi1WSSfHw
- cowllin 6y agoCredit where credit due: I submitted this on behalf of my partner who built this during her coding bootcamp a few years back!
- sunnyam 6y agoIt's a lot of fun! It would be awesome to have an option to see where the line of symmetry is to help draw more accurately
