I really have A LOT of fun making https://nopaint.art in this browser based game engine called Construct 3 (https://construct.net) - there are times as a developer that I really hate the restrictions of the architecture / design but honestly, it's extremely productive for me to stay in the visual design mindset while making software.

Dropbox’ desktop App

I’ve been coming up with a new pedagogy for the fundamentals of interactive and computer art, and trying it out with kids on TikTok. Maybe you saw the software I put out a few weeks ago on HN called No Paint: https://nopaint.art. However, most of the time I’m using pen and paper for this work.

Hey everyone, this is an app now, partially thanks to this post. I'd like to make a baby mode for kids. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/no-paint/id1107427275

Painting has always been considered a waste of time.

Noted

Yeah and spacebar opens the command prompt so you can type - with up and down arrows to pause and unpause.

You can type ‘Mute’ in the command prompt at the bottom while painting. And thanks so much for the compliment.

I’m not collecting any user inputs (yet) because my audience mostly consists of minors.

It might be related to LocalStorage - thanks for reporting.

No 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.

Interesting it works in my 13.1.1 just fine. Thank you!

Yeah 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.

I 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

Thank 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) on my TikTok and kids really loved it!

What Safari / macOS version? I’ll report a bug in the game engine I used to throw this thing together.

Except Transclusion was defined by Ted Nelson in Computer Lib / Dream Machines. :)

See here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transclusion

From what I’ve seen it’s similar to the old LOGO Microworlds model which is awesome.

"This is indistinguishable from something that would be hanging in an art museum."

Haha, the exact opposite of my scroll through. I thought to myself: "These look like a clone stamp sampled and then vomited up all the lovely modernist paintings I've seen at art museums."

Ex dev here. I have been making these little experimental audiovisual programs for kids on TikTok that they can memorize and re-perform in their notebooks.

They are inspired by my years of playing video games and telling computers what to draw with creative coding environments like Processing. My audience is starting to compose and post their own too, which has been great!

I know most HN people probably aren't on TikTok so here is a little compilation with some commentary at the end.

Also fountain pens draw really fast with almost no pressure and have such a consistent line. I've been making little musical drawings with them. https://tiktok.com/@whistlegraph

yep saw that, was hoping someone already put it into a product of some kind

I’ve been following them since Google began pushing them too, but it feels pretty dead in the water without iOS stepping up to the plate. Future... yes, maybe 10 years?

I highly recommend "Noise: The Political Economy of Music" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise:_The_Political_Economy_o...

"Analoguing the Digital" title reminds me of Goodiepal's Radical Computer Music: https://vimeo.com/11152592

What do you mean by this? Would love a cool example. I have experience in C and lots of higher level languages but writing games and such in Assembly was before my time.

Actually the new Google Pixelbook Go looks like it could be a 2019 version of the old plastic MacBooks, which were beautifully functional.

With lots of cute details about how the author enjoys alcohol.

Makes sense, as Facebook’s interface is designed just like an escape room.
