#2Nice.
One thing that's obviously missing is a way to link to the image you've just created. I have a nice looking photo sitting there, but seemingly the only way to share it is to view source, copy, paste into a new HTML file and upload it to a server somewhere.
Have it start each new session at a random URL that you can share, and this will get very popular very fast.

#3I was expecting automatic ASCII art, like http://aa-project.sourceforge.net/gallery/, but this is nice too.
The submission needs a lot of characters, though.

#6This is cool! There's a typo in the controls, it says "Back & White" when it should be "Black & White"

You must've reloaded just as I was uploading a small update.

That's awesome. It's amazing how much we could actually do back in the days of Netscape and IE version 4 and below.
Performance on the machines of the day was actually better than modern HTML5 stuff on modern hardware because the DOM was so much simpler and tuned toward performance. I could actually watch the little games I made using DIVs/LAYERs and pixel art images slow down during the 2000s as new browsers came out. It's only now, with quad core processors that they're back up to the speed they used to run on a Pentium.
