#53This is delightful fun, but suffers a bit from Mystery Meat Navigation ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mystery_meat_navigation#Iconog... ) The pencil and eraser I get, and I thought one of the controls was Undo, but that one seems to be a toggle? And I have no idea what the last one is.
Toggles symmetry. Def not obvious.
I just tried it for the first time on a laptop; there, when squares light up in the symmetric cells as you mouse over a target, it's a bit more intuitive. On mobile, it's a lot harder to figure out.

Windows 95-2000 still had the pattern option as well: https://i.imgur.com/WVePNGj.jpg Fun times were had by my young self, though like you I had forgotten all about it until just now. --- Edit: Oh wow, it's secretly still an option , even in Windows 11!

Thank you for posting this. I spent a long time hating on “M$” back in the day when they were embracing and extending everything, including the web. As the years go by though, I have built only an ever increasing respect for how Windows manages to retain backwards comparability with the Neolithic ages. …and now, this. Incredible. The numbers themselves look to be eight bytes of eight bits. The 50% gray gives it away:…
Makes sense; the pattern is 8x8 pixels, each number representing one row.

wow , I had forgotten all about that -- when I saw the sub window I was hit with some serious nostalgia. 3.x had some interesting priorities with regards to what a user may want to do, you don't realize (remember..) that in some ways the users of the past were more empowered than they are now until something like that is thrown in front of you to remember.

Aah, the gradient title bar, IIRC that came with Windows 98.
