Does the paint app work for anyone? https://90s.dev/os/#sys/apps/paint.app.js

I tried in both Firefox and Chrome on Linux and picking colors and clicking I can't draw anything. No logs in the console that alert something is wrong.

On a different note I think you've captured the 90s really well. I had a moment of realization that the 90s really were like this. On first look I was thinking this was more 70s/80s terminals. Looking forward to seeing where you take this.

Oh, no, sorry for the confusion. The color picker is as far as I got with that app, it's relatively new. I can probably get it fully working within an hour though.

Also thanks, that's exactly what I was going for! I wanted to capture the fun and excitement and raw power of creating GUI apps in the 90s (but without all the inconveniences). Hence the name 90s.dev

Working on paint app[1] now:

- [x] Add canvas with semi-transparent background

- [x] Make canvas resizable by dragging corner (min 1x1)

- [x] Show grid on canvas if grid button is checked

- [x] Make zoom adjustable by clicking and dragging zoom number up/down

- [x] Show selected color as square over canvas during mouse move

- [x] Allow click/drag to change square colors

- [x] Right-click/drag to erase squares

- [x] Support loading/saving bitmap

Hopefully I can finish it while this comment is editable! :D

As features are added, you will see them in the source code. Either:

1. Click the top-left button and click View Source

2. Download helloworld.zip from Downoad SDK and view /fs/sys/apps/paint.app.js

3. Open https://90s.dev/os/fs/sys/apps/paint.app.js in an incognito window

These all show the same live copy of the source for the paint app. The reason for the incognito window is because the service worker compiles TSX to JS at runtime.

[edit] Ha, I did it! I got all the features working before the edit button went away! But it was about 2 hours, not 1. As a bonus I'll try to work on undo/redo.

Hey don't stress yourself out okay :) This is so cool, cooler than 90% of stuff I see usually see in these posts.

Thanks, though I'm not stressed. It's an exciting and fun challenge to see how much I can get done with my fancy GUI API before the edit button goes away :)

I'm not sure it's implemented yet. If you click the "hash" button in the upper-left of the window, you can click "View Source". From there you can see it's just a mocked up UI, the scroll area just draws pinstripes.

[90s_dev]

You were right, it wasn't at the time. It works now, except for undo/redo.

Not working for me either.

[90s_dev]

How about now?

Works great!
