After tinkering a bit with the association of programming and drawing, I gathered some of my experiments into an application.

Drawing applications usually have "brushes" that define the appearance of the strokes. Here I optated for "inks" that define behaviors. Some are animated, others are interactive and react to the user's pointer. You can see some examples on the app's twitter account: https://twitter.com/mutsuacenApp

I'd be happy to hear your remarks and answer your questions about the app (design, implementation, front-end development in general...)

And also I love to see how people use the app, so send me your drawings!

Thank you!

That's pretty cool, it's just that 5 minutes into that website my screen filled with chaos. It could be nicer if you could animate anything other than those lines

Thank you for your comment!

In addition to lines you can also animate points. You can simulate filled areas with thicker lines although it can be glitchy. I can add other shapes, the possibilities are endless, but I had to draw the line (ha!) somewhere to keep the application simple.

Also, chaos is indeed easy to attain, but you can tone down the parameters to get something quiet.
