You can now Doodle in color! Test your artistic skills or just doodle the night away.

I also improved the hexes a bit, making it a bit easier to draw horizontal and diagonal lines.

Post any interesting or humorous pics in your blog.

Have fun!

A small idea I had, saving. It would be great to be able to save your work. Why? Lets pretend you are working on a masterpeice, perhaps with a friend, when dbznoobssj123 logs in and scribbles all over your work. If you could save, and have an autosave as everyone logged in, you could then really work on something. I suppose it sounds silly, but I like playing with Doodle, it is not very often that you get to draw in hex.

Nice...now Apple will sue you for violating MacPaint!

Scoobert makes an excellent point... and a new marketing angle for your program! It's not only a MagnaDoodle simulator, but also a Huichol bead art simulator.

I think I'm going to add in saving as a Byondscape/Member perk, if Gug is interested.

You bet! My email link is on the BYONDscape sidebar menu.

Flick: That would be great. Another idea with saving, temp save each drawing after someone is finished in standard mode. After playing for a while, I noticed that people would create some really cool things, but in the heat of guessing, I didn't have time to take a screenshot.

You are doing a great job so far, keep up the good work. Some of them words are challenging, like "Sticky" or "Change". Those words are really hard. For sticky I drew tape, a web, and something else. For Change I drew a transformer. Oh yeah, somehow I got the word Change 3 times in a row, with 222 words, those odds are very low. Are you attempting to make us work 5x harder at thinking things up?

A scoring system would be great, perhaps the highest scoreres should get harder words, or something. Also, a limit on guesses per second would be nice. When you see someone list of half of the 222 words in 20 seconds, it gets kinda annoying.

Actually... it's more like you who's acting like an idiot.

Maybe you could implement F_Color so when they double click a color they can swap with it. A customized pallet, I guess.

Yeah, I'm considering that. I'll probably allow it for Doodle and Group Doodle modes, but for the standard game, I'll disable it. Reason being, every time you change colors, the new icon would need to be sent to every client, creating a bit of lag. I do need to adjust the default colors a bit, as they really aren't a very good selection.

EDIT: Deleted some... unecessary commentary.
