ASCII Draw

ASCII Draw is a drawing program where you paint using a limited set of character tiles.

Important:

 ! Text tool is not yet implemented in this version despite it having a GUI button.

Features:

• Draw bitmap font characters freehand or with a number of shape tools
• Right click for eyedropper functionality
• Selection tool: cut, copy, paste, or move selection.
• Recolouring brush, keep tiles but paint different foreground/background colours
• Undo and Redo with large history ("infinite")
• Save, Load as editable .AFF file or Export as .png
• Resize, crop, clear, and flip canvas or selection
• Shortcuts for all tools
• Customizable settings including changing tile set and palette

And MORE!

A more complete feature overview including shortcut commands is included in a ReadMe file.

 Future Development:

The project is currently on hold. I had originally planned to keep working on this and add the following features:

Text Objects (write a string of text, keep as a "text object" separate from the canvas data so they are always editable), Grid Manager (toggle and customize a grid overlay), Palette and Tileset Manager (change them on the fly instead of in the settings), Layers, Animation
