MacPaint-themed interface for Tldraw

Flood fill - the original AI!

I can still easily picture some of the patterns in my head, like the 3d ball one and the pie crust lattice one.

Also, as a fairly young kid using MacPaint, I never really understood that the icon for the fill/paint can tool literally represented paint being poured out of a can; it always just looked like a unique, sort of abstract cursor shape to me. It wasn't until decades later using Pixelmator with its more photo-realistic tool icon (with the paint pouring out the opposite side) that I connected the dots on why the fill tool looks the way it does. It does give me sympathy for younger folks during the period of time when "Save" was still commonly represented by a floppy disk.

Came here to say the same. I was willing to overlook the vectorization creating a very unexpected aesthetic. But the missing pattern brushes were a bridge too far!

The real version of MacPaint can be found here: https://archive.org/details/mac_Paint_2 but it’s not particularly mobile friendly.

There was a trick where you drew a circle, selected it, then there was a way to drag it around, leaving behind copies (option-drag?), which if you did it slowly and carefully, gave a decent approximation of a pipe. I remember drawing lots of intricate pipe networks as a child.

NeoPaint [0] for DOS was probably my first. I have few specific memories of using the software, unfortunately. But I ran it in DOSBox sometime in the last year and found the experience familiar but also not.

Oh my, I thought until a number of years ago KidPix was a fever dream I imagined because nobody else in my hometown had ever used it or heard of it.
