We would like to set up a support forum for PyDPainter, for those who find GitHub daunting and who aren’t on Facebook.
- No installation required (we don’t have a server). No nerdy/techy*.
- Opensource software
- No recurring costs or monthly fees
- Low traffic
- Image hosting included (GIF, PNG, animated GIFs).
Any advice ?

* programmer is already busy on PydPainter updates.

@Deivore@mastodon.gamedev.place I wasn't aware of this trick (Amiga guy here). Well as it all converted into 16M colors here I can't load it to check. Let's try visually.

TIP: I create the text on the spare screen (j) on a orange background. And then use it as a whole brush and draw it on every frame, using PageDown to go to next frame.

TIPS: I use a Order: 5 Cyclic Symmetry to draw a star in 2 clicks with Line tool. I use Tile Symmetry with a Width and Height a little larger to my Star brush to repeat the star as tiles. I use an N Total of the number of frames (#22), with my star as Brush, Tiles on, with Animpainting on (ALT), to draw the animation from it's up right future position. It draw all the stars on all the frames moving up and right. Then I just have to delete the last frame (22) to turn the animation to a loop.

While waiting for 2.2.1 to release, learn theses new shortcuts for GRADIENT FILL:
SHIFT-F1 - Pattern
SHIFT-F2 - Solid
SHIFT-F3 - Circular
SHIFT-F4 - Vertical Fit
SHIFT-F5 - Linear
SHIFT-F6 - Horizontal Fit
SHIFT-F7 - Fit Both
SHIFT-F8 - Smooth
Now that we have plenty of *Fill Type* with options, we need a short key to quickly go back to a Solid fill.

@metin@graphics.social Yes, I love circular gradients and I love vectorballs.
I download a distribution (Download.zip) from the Github page with the develop branch selected. I have Python and Pygame installed. And I can run any beta release. stephane
