A downloadable game

Picapixel is a pixel art editor for your 3DS.

I always wanted a simplified drawing tool for this console. Restricting myself to only about 8-16 colors helps me be more creative with what i've got. And i guess if it's simple enough for me, maybe you have some fun with it too.

Features:
- 3 tools (pencil, line-tool and paint-bucket)
- An onion / layer-tool to make pixels more visible
- Direct export to ".ppm". You can find your output in the root-folder of your SD-Card
- 8 color slots. Notice how i said slots? You're not restricted to 8 colors in general. You can always change them on the fly, if you really need more.
- A 3D Preview, how your tiles would look like in a city-preset. (maybe i could add more in v2?)
- A spinning orange on the title-screen

Known bugs - Lighting is missing. Your drawings will look a bit pale in the top preview. I still need to fix light-positioning on 0/0/0 in my engine.
-  Broken banner-audio. You'll hear this weird clicking sound, that happens if the bcmdl file is too big. 

Disclaimer This program is designed to run on Nintendo hardware, but is neither designed, licensed or endorsed by them. Hacking a 3DS will void it's warranty. But given that the 3DS is pretty old by now, i think this problem solved itself. This game should not be sold under any circumstance. If you bought this game somehow, you got scammed.

AI-usage tldr - no art, just code.

I like drawing my art myself. Otherwise i wouldn't make a pixel-art editor now, would i?

Have a nice day o/
