Had fun playing with this Ken - nice use of the alpha. Maybe version 6 will have a toolbar like paint?
Actually, come to think of it, with all the stuff QB64 can do with multiple pages, images, alpha, we could make a DANK photoshop clone. Well, "clone". You all know what I mean.
If anyone wants to frame this out, I can help with the parts that I'd be good at. I'm thinking curved gradients and stuff you want calculus for. But the rest is pure QB64 legwork. This can be that holy grail group project we've been wondering how to start. Any takers?
