Google Web Store

Hooboy.
I'm taking a look at

  • Cloud9 IDE - I like it for javascript, and it integrates with Github. Not too shabby, although it's better suited for running on one's own server.
  • Sumo Paint, which seems like a really robust paint package, more focused on painter-style stuff, though
  • Pixlr editor, which is fairly impressive. Layers, shortcuts and so forth. I think I could do either digipaint or pixel stuff with it. 
  • Email Game - I... think I can recommend it.  It's exactly what it says on the tin - it makes a game out of checking your Email. 
  • Ajax Animator is so far failing to load.

Pixel painting....

I think I've tried out most of the software available. ASEPRITE is useless to me. Tile Studio isn't horrible, but it's lacking in features.
Grafx2 is at least somewhat usable, a rather nice pixel paint package, especially with limited colors. However, it's not that good for sprites and tiles. Graphicsgale is still close to the best. Paint Shop Pro 9 is very good for this. My experience with Gimp and Photoshop is limited, although I think they're probably pretty good, depending on configuration Paint.net is very nice, surprisingly. So is the new MS Paint. Simple enough?

 Title - and the key - for my last post is 'bits'.

Today's image with grafx2 and touchpad.

*edit* and tweaked in Paint.Net. I do like it for pixel-precision stuff, after all!

smaller and smaller...
Soon I'll just communicate in binary dots.
