What with the Christmas holidays coming up there's a good chance a bunch of you may be stuck in line in some grocery store or shopping mall so - having seen all the little paint programs rolling around, thought I would write up my own for you to test your art skills in as you're waiting to make your purchases.
It's super-small too at 245-characters or 132-tokens.
Tweets I am understanding allow up to 280-characters so this definitely qualifies as a tweet and can be posted on Twitter if so desired.
How to use. Very simple. Use the mouse or your finger to draw. It does not use the right-click, only the left click so it should run neatly on your cellphone, tablet, or gaming device that recognizes touch-screen and Pico-8. To select a new color either hover your mouse to the right or touch your finger to the right to see the color choices.
Click or press your finger on the new color and you are ready to draw again. Color black is also available if you want to erase some of your work.
To clear the screen and start over merely bring up the menu and select "RESET CART" or if you have a keyboard, press CTRL+R keys together.
@zep ! Could you please add two commands like PICTOBBS(H,V,X,Y) and SPRTOBBS(H,V,X,Y) where H+V determine the starting coordinates in your sprites and X+Y determine the size across and down and converts the image area to a true clipboard paste-able pic like:

Also the ability while running a Pico-8 cart in the BBS to be able to do the same from a side icon like so:
This would be excellent for art programs to show drawn screens and to grab screenshots of existing carts, especially if they crash or if someone has won the game and wants to show their final score. Thanks !
Also Piconians, if this is not running properly on your system, please let me know as it runs fine here in Pico-8 version 0.2.4.
And there you have it. Enjoy !
