A similar project: https://kiddopaint.com

Looks like an earlier version of this by the same author. https://github.com/vikrum/kiddopaint vs https://github.com/vikrum/kidpix

Source code also is all about KiddoPaint: https://kidpix.app/js/app.js

I used to enjoy this application as a kid.

These days, I'd be wary of putting "kid pix" into google search to relive my memories.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

gotta hit the eraser and use the dynamite! But I guess if you hadn't used kid pix you might not know that.

The nostalgia of the explosion is too much for me this morning. I remember everyone in the computer lab always never actually drawing stuff and mostly just clicking the dynamite to get as many explosions on the screen as possible.

I recall the speed of the explosions being CPU dependent. When we got a new family computer in the late '90s I recall the explosion going from taking several seconds to happening almost instantly. 7 year old me thought this was hilarious for some reason.

BTW I love this code: https://kidpix.app/js/app.js repo here: https://github.com/vikrum/kidpix

Yup. That's a well organized project right there. Very easy to find the exact code doing whatever it is you want.

Oh man this brings back memories.

I must have been 6 years old. My dad came home with a computer that they were getting rid of at his work. He set it up that night and, having never seen a computer, I wanted to play with it. Well, for some reason, it had Kid Pix installed. I remember drawing something with a couple of green lines and a few rabbit stamps for good measure. As I recall, I then insisted that we had to print it and wouldn’t take no for an answer.
