Being that this is a vector tool, maybe they should have emulated MacDraw instead.<p>My favorite thing to do with the Macintosh in my third grade classroom was to draw intricate mazes in MacPaint and then use the paint bucket tool on them. With that processor and algorithm, one could watch the maze complete itself in real time. A decidedly raster pastime!

It&#x27;s not MacPaint without Fat Bits!<p>And all those fill patterns... I remember using the brick pattern to make a wall and then spray-painting on it with the spray paint can. After that I kind of ran out of ideas on what to do.

It&#x27;s very cute, but all the fun was ruined for me as soon as I saw it was vector-based.<p>Part of the charm of that era was the pixel-by-pixel determination.

KidPix is my nostalgic painting program.

I really miss the platinum UI. I’ve seen a few attempts at themes that kind of look like it for gtk, but they bit rot way too fast. Ah nostalgia.

As great as this recreation is, it can&#x27;t be MacPaint without the spray can and paint patterns.

If nostalgia is what you want, this is Steve Jobs introducing the Macintosh in 1984: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;1tQ5XwvjPmA?t=500" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;1tQ5XwvjPmA?t=500</a>

For anyone curious, the underlying tool is <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.tldraw.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.tldraw.com&#x2F;</a> -- an absolutely delightful open source project I&#x27;ve been obsessed with.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;Tldraw&#x2F;Tldraw" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;Tldraw&#x2F;Tldraw</a>

I&#x27;m pretty sure this is just a skinned version of tldraw set to a Mac UI.

Koala Paint, anyone?
