Patterns! And a Super Special Message!

Patterns: How to use them and also what even are they????

That's right, Doodle now has patterns! You can find them by clicking the lil circle in the tools menu!

They apply a mask to your brush, so only certain pixels are painting, this works for both the pencil and the brush.

Optimization Concerns.

You may have noticed, but the way the undo/redo states, as well as canvases are stored/edited isn't very optimized.

You DEFINITELY have noticed, the brush tool is very slow to use, causing the entire app to freeze for a split second while it floods a small area.

I've done my best to optimize both of these things, but it's been very tough, a major part of that due to my choice in game engine: Gamemaker.

Don't get me wrong, it's a great engine, I made this app in under a week! But it's painfully slow when it comes to these sorts of algorithms and systems. Due to that fact, this next build is only available as a windows build, since the web export just wasn't keeping up with the updates.

So, where do we go from here?

I'm going to try and port Doodle to a new language, C#, using Monogame. I can't promise that this will get finished, Doodle has only been a small side project for me after all! If everything works out, I'll have a new page up with a brand new, optimized, Doodle Sequel!

End of life:

Unfortunately, this means the current Doodle has reached the end of it's brief life! There were a lot of features planned, but you'll have to wait for Doodle 2: Electric Boogaloo

In the meantime, keep doodling! I'll probably feel really bad if you guys keep making doodles and then I give up, so like, keep doodling so I don't give up on the port lol
