It also incorporates some of the extended QBJS functionality which lets your program prompt the browser to upload and download files.
This is great - I used to make color CBMSCII drawings and animations on the Commodore 64, and have been wanting to make program to do this on the PC.
Which leads me to a couple enhancements to suggest:
1. Add a simple animation mode, to save drawings as successive frames (maybe just save the changed portions to save space) and add a simple playback function, and a way to specify the playback speed.
2. Add an option to record the keypresses or drawing input (including cursor movements, mouse clicks, and color changes) with the ability to play back like an animation.
3. Add a simple character editor to customize the font the user can draw with.
4. Perhaps add an option for layers, where the user's changes just affect the selected layer, and layers can be hidden/unhidden, moved in front of or behind each other, duplicated, etc.
5. Some basic drawing functions like select an area to cut/copy/paste, flip horizontal / vertical, rotate, clear selected area, fill, eyedropper to capture color, etc.
Either way, I look forward to playing with this - thanks for sharing!
