Prompt 2: This game is a painting tool. There are many interesting tools in this painting board tool. The random button could provide players a line with random color and thickness. The "black/red/blue" button can switch the color of the line between black, red, and blue. The third button can change the thickness of the line; the most interesting button is the mirror on/off button. This button enables the player to draw a mirror image on the bottom half of the drawing board while drawing. The special brush provides a brush that might be made by random function and a for loop, the special brush works well. However, there are not some buttons or functions I expected to exist in this project. For instance, I want to draw the mirror image with the special brush after clicking the mirror on the button and the special brush button(also not working if I press special brush first then mirror). So, I can only draw the mirror image of the standard line with different colors and thicknesses. Moreover, there is no eraser or clear canvas button in this painting tool. I cannot draw something new on the canvas unless I refresh the webpage. Also, I cannot erase some parts of my painting, and I can only clear the whole canvas by refreshing the webpage. I think the first special brush mirror drawing could be easily added by adding some if-else statement in the mirror function. The erase and clear function might need to create two new functions.
Prompt 5- “Drawing Tool” is a mesmerizing tool especially when using the mirror mode tool. Comparing it to a drug is hard, but I assume it means to compare it to having your only view of the world through it. I feel as though your only way of viewing the world through it would make you appreciate the sheer complexity of the world around you while still making you appreciate the elegance of it all. What do I mean? Well in the game you are able to choose many options for drawing yet they’re all kept to a simple brush with the special brush and random brush tool providing the random element that the world seems to have everywhere we look. The simplicity of red black and blue brushes reminds you of school and pens you would use, where you could also choose a random color and make anything you want but the convenience that you would normally have in everyday life is taken from you and you must work to get the color and brush you desire. Not only is this a metaphor for the rewards of hard work and labor in life but it also makes you appreciate and use the color more than you normally would. Taking something such as being able to pick the exact color you want at any given moment and turning it into chance not only adds some excitement to it but it shows us how much we’re shaped our world to convenience us at every turn and working hard for the simple things is no longer needed unless forced upon us.
