nice contribution to the kdice forum. thanks

I cant find a way to copy the color. But i was up to 16.2% ink level today. So i got the top arm pretty much colored.

I worked on the border a little

If you guys haven't seen the Drawball playback, then check it out... it's pretty cool. It basically fast forwards through the history of everything drawn.

http://www.drawball.com/playback.php

Yeah, the playback is sweet.

lol, thx know it all, I thought it would be a cool way to endorse it for free.

I started the "D" btw...


I'm really not sure how I once got it over 5%, it seems like that's the standard refill HOWEVER, that may have been because I tried to make my own picture, a patriotic peace sign...



I registered for "drawballfans.com", their forum, so I'll check there today and put up hints later.

aight, this is what I found in an FAQ, seems easier to paste it here than have you guys register:
Frequently Asked Questions:

1.) How do I draw?
----A.) After the drawball loads, zoom in to the deepest level. Click anywhere and a small puzzle will appear. To solve, connect the dots without crossing any other lines.

2.) How do I get more ink?
----A.) The ink system charges slowly over time all new users start out with 0% ink. The first time you visit the site, the ink begins to charge. (TIP: it saves alot of ink if you use DOTS when drawing, it takes a long time but if your limited its worth it)

3.) How do I get Infinite ink?
----A.) Draw something nice and if the ADMIN sees it, he may protect it, and give you infinite ink.

4.) How can I tell if my artwork is protected?
----A.) If you have just received infinite ink, one of your drawings has most likely been protected, *WARNING* if you have infinite ink you can draw on protected areas. so the best way to know for sure if your drawing is protected is to have someone you trust (without infinite ink) to draw a little dot somewhere on it. if its protected it will disappear.

5.) How can I prevent people from vandalizing my artwork?
----A.) To put it simply.. YOU CANT. however you can take some steps to give it better chances. Find a spot that is not near big voids, before you start drawing do a few "back" browse history's and check to see if there has been alot of activity, and if nearby art has been vandalized. Try to find a calm area to draw on.

6.) Tips for getting infinite ink.
----(TIPS) *also see Q5* try to finish your drawing in one sitting, if you leave it to be finished another time the admins usually will ignore it and it increases your chances of getting vandalized before you finish. Try to use at least a few shades of color in your picture. I cant say it will never happen, but USUALLY the admins wont give it to you for drawing logos or banners.

7.) I'm clicking a link to a drawing, but when I try to draw, it says "connection failed" whats going on?
----A.) I noticed that if you click a DIRECT LINK to a pre zoomed picture you cannot draw ..don't worry, YOU HAVEN'T BEEN BANNED. it will let you solve the puzzle but as soon as you try to draw it disconnects.. i assume this is another way to prevent scripts from "auto fixing" a predetermined area for someone.

8.) How can I tell if I have been banned?
----A.) DUH! you cant draw anymore.. and all your previous art/ink will dissappear... Every time you attempt to draw it will disconnect from the server.

9.) How do I take a screenshot of my artwork before it gets vandalized?
----A.) For screenshots, press the "print screen" button on your keyboard. Then open MS Paint or photoshop etc. -and hit "CTRL+V" (paste). Then save your file as a *filename*.jpeg. THEN you can upload it to www.photobucket.com or www.tinypic.com to get a code to paste it here.

10.) I have a really hard time seeing/fixing small details on drawball, is there any better ways of doing fine details?
----A.) Yes there is. right click and use the zoom function. this works great for fine details!

11.) How do you draw perfectly straight lines?
----A.) click and hold the left mouse button.*this is point "A"* while holding left click the right mouse button.. now let go of both. Left click again anywhere else, *point "B"* and a straight line will be drawn between point A, and B.

12.) How can I switch colors without losing my current color?
----A.) For browsers that can use multiple tabs, simply open a new tab (Ctrl+T for most browsers), and use the new tab for a new color. *thats a new TAB, not a new window* if you open a new window the old one will time out and lose connection.

13.) My ink suddenly dropped from 100% to 0% whats going on?
----A.) Drawball ink accumulates based on your individual I.P. address, if your i.p. changes it acts as if your visiting drawball for the first time.

14.) How can I trace a picture to get the proportions right?
----A.) a very helpful tool has been released, and has lots of uses other than drawball, but can be used as a way to make sure your drawing is as close as possible to your reference picture, by adding TRANSPARENCY to the drawing window you can see your reference picture underneath! download it here for free http://www.martinutils.com/

*as a general tip,, . -I like firefox the best. it has built in security features, and tabbed browsing. download it here for free --> http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/

- i will add more soon,,

Looking good so far.
Question about the letters though, are the rest gonna be lowercase?
Just want to be sure.

I'm actually enjoying this thoroughly.

yeah I thought the "D" should have been lower case, but oh well. We might as well make them all upper case now.

Well I looked to the logo on the top left.
From that I decided uppercase D. The rest lowercase, or should the rest be uppercase?
