Phenomenal. For what it’s worth, I think this would be a killer app for my phone. My kids would easily spend hours drawing and animating their creations.
I’d pay money for this.
- Galanwe 4y agoI would pay for that as well. All it needs is some kind of Android app.
- noduerme 4y agoGet them one of these. They'll actually get the experience pf animating, broken down into bare terms... https://the80sand90s.com/articles/etch-a-sketch-animator https://the80sand90s.com/articles/etch-a-sketch-animator that little toy I had as a kid did more to shape my career as than even hypercard. FTA (and relevant): > What truly made this the best toy ever made was the amount of patience and perseverance a kid needed to create these animations, just like real animators. This is also why it would later fall from popularity.
- mojomark 4y agoHoly crap - I totally forgot that I had one of those and spent an obscene number of hours creating on it. Thanks for the memory-blast post!
- noduerme 4y agoHah! Cool to meet another kid who grew up with that. I wish there were more actual devices like that now, with their own weird UIs and knobs and buttons, instead of everything being an app mixed in on a tablet with endless other apps. When you think about it, what a far-out thing for a company that made Etch-A-Sketches to engineer and sell...
- ShadowBanThis01 4y agoThat thing seemed really cool, but even at the time I passed on it because there was no way to save your work externally.
- noduerme 4y agoYeah, the limited memory was a shortcoming. Still, in a way, that made it more in line with the notional paradigm of the Etch-A-Sketch... doing the drawing is the fun, but eventually you have to erase it and start over.
