A few days ago I got motivated to get back into a project I started a few years ago. Being that Ive learned a bit since then, and my code was badly commented Ive started a "version2" from scratch rather than trying to salvage the original version.

There's not really anything exciting to show yet, Ive only been working on it for 2 days, but things have gone reasonably smoothly and I've been having lots of fun

I appologize for the (lack of) quality of the screenshot, and you can barely make anything out because of it, but what you (almost) see is a palette prefs window (and a file requestor to load a palette), and a few empty "new images". I'll try to get something sorted for better screenshots when there's more interesting stuff to show, at the moment Ive just used a crappy ooold webcam to take a picture of my amigas monitors screen

Anyway, I dont know if this is even worth the effort to share yet, but Ive been having a blast and wanted to share my effort so far with people

It's better than "simplepaint", a demonstration app I wrote years ago to demonstrate the usage of my C++ library. It has a gui for starters

Hmm, interesting. Is this going to be a simple paint program, or more of a layer-based image editor like Photoshop or the GIMP?

The vision I have for it is probably somewhere in between. A few more "modern" features than Dpaint/Ppaint (like layers), etc., but the simple, easy to use nature of Dpaint and co. The inspiration is a mixture between PaintShop Pro9, dpaint/ppaint and brillaince, plus a few things that dont exist in any packages Ive seen that Ive always thought would be nice to have for my own graphics work.

Interesting. Looking forward to seeing where this goes!

Sounds nice!

I think there should be a SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT FORUM for posts such as this one, and also a separate hardware dev forum.

@ Fishy_Fiz

I reckon it would be nice to see something new in a GFX package for the Amiga, keep at it I say and best of luck...

I know that subforum exists, but most do not. Notice that he did not start this thread there! Software and hardware development for Amiga are important enough that they each deserve their own *prominent* forums, IMHO.
