Doodlebug

This program could bring out the artist in you. Using a joystick instead of a bruch (can you imagine Rubens with a joystick? Such is progress...) you can choose from a palette of 16 colours to paint or just doodle on the silver screen.

Don't expect too much else; Doodlebug is for recreation only, it is not a utility.

Depending on the shape of cursor chosen, you can either draw from point to point, or draw from last line to cursor position. Cursor shape can be altered at any time. Your masterpiece can be saved and reloaded during and after composition.

The instructions supplied are minimal although sufficient. Written in Basic, Doodlebug does what it sets out to do, but in a bread and butter way. If that is for you, then fine.
