ArtClash - Paint Draw & Sketch

Unleash your creativity and connect with fellow artists using **ArtClash**, a dynamic platform designed to inspire daily practice in drawing, sketching, and cartooning. Unlike Sketchbook, Photoshop, Procreate, or Infinite Painter, ArtClash is a unique work-in-progress crafted by a single developer for both personal growth and to encourage a community of artists.

**ArtClash** is more than just a drawing app; it's a social experience where you can paint, sketch, blend, and share your masterpieces. Import images to use as references or paint over them to create something entirely new. Engage in themed challenges by choosing from various topics and difficulty levels, ranging from simple single-word prompts to complex scenarios involving multiple words. Add optional constraints like time limits, color restrictions, or specific canvas sizes to earn extra points when others guess your artwork correctly.

**Current Features:**

• Paint - Sketch, Paint, and Blend
• Import images, use them as references, or paint over them
• Pick topics, constraints, draw them, and get points for every person that guesses correctly
• 6 levels of difficulty for topics- from single words to up to 5 different words (nouns, verbs, places, timer periods)
• Choose from 3 constraints for extra points: time, colors, or canvas size
• Free draw anything you want, and share it with others
• NSFW flag, so you can choose to view other peoples' images that were marked as NSFW

As we're in early access, you might encounter some bumps along the way, such as an unpolished user interface (UI) and performance issues on larger canvases. We're working tirelessly to refine the UI using XAML for a more responsive and visually appealing experience, and optimizing the brush engine for smoother performance across devices.

**Upcoming Features:**

• More games (starting with "telephone" with drawings)
• More social features (changing out avatars, adding comments to uploaded projects or finished games, friending others, following others)
• Better UI and faster brush engine (addressing current bugs)
• Marquee selection tool + transform tool
• More brushes (compatible with any brush texture, with options to add and share custom brushes)
• Enhanced layer system (including options to lock transparent pixels, mask, etc.)
• Developer communication system: A feedback system for requesting features, reporting bugs, or voting on future changes
• Moderators: Empowering community members to moderate flagged content and handle issues
• Topic and constraints submissions: Allowing users to suggest new topics and constraints, subject to moderation
• Future expansions into full image editing, animation, scripting, and game/storyboard prototyping

While **ArtClash** is not yet a full-fledged image editing suite due to performance constraints and limited features, it's optimized for fostering a competitive and supportive community of artists. Stay tuned as we continue to evolve and enhance your creative journey with ArtClash!
