Hello again all. I've had an idea in my head for a collab for a long time. I wanted to do something original that had never been done before. This is intended to make you try something new and maybe branch out in your art. It isn't easy but I think many will like the challange.

The Easy Version:

http://www.upshack.com/./uploaded-files/200510/Art_Challange.exe - http://www.upshack.com/./uploaded-files/200510/Art_Challange .exe

Sadly I know that this forum has many Mac users. If you want to participate from a mac I'll gladly send you a theme generated by my program.(just pm me!) I hope you all find this original and interesting! ( I have to get to sleep so I'll draw one later tomorrow.)

Here is the expert Pixeler version....I've added a size limit a random number of secondary objects and a color limit have fun!!!!!

http://www.upshack.com/./uploaded-files/200510/Art_ChallangeV2.1.exe - http://www.upshack.com/./uploaded-files/200510/Art_Challange V2.1.exe

By the way this program uses premade lists, if you feel I've missed a good theme or color just PM me with the idea you have.

If you're using premade lists, then why does this have to be a .exe
Many people are supersticious of .exe's, 'n I think if you ask one of the coders on this forum nicely, they might put it into PHP wich is in my opinion, far safer then .exe ;)

It uses programming data structures called lists. It is an .exe. Well just virus scan I guess.

Here is a picture of the program. (this is the old easy version)

Hmmm carroty!!!

C'mon people if youre paraniod about viruses just pm me and i'll send you some generated concepts to work with. Really though the program is safe to use i don't make unethocal things like viruses. If anybody has alraedy downloaded it can you tell them it's safe please? I used Game Maker and I don't think you can make viruses with that.

I am not a pixel-artist myself, but I want to help!
It seems like many people are afraid of downloading an exe, so if you give me the list, I will write a quick 'n' dirty PHP-script which will be hosted on my site and people can just visit the page. How's that?

What is a php? If you're planning on rewriting my program I don't think I would like that. I know you're trying to help me and I appreciate it. But I wanted to be the creator of the program as well as the creator of this thread. But if you make my program run online that would be cool. Really I have no idea what a php is.

 

@Vidd

Well it gives you a color and a theme. (if you have better thoughts and limitations I can add them, but I don't want to waiste time since nobody has appeared to even try it.

well i think it'd be cool if you made it more complex such as...

draw a(n) (insert adjective) (insert noun) that is (insert color) with (insert random number) (insert color) (insert body part) and can (insert interesting verb) with it's (insert noun or body part) and has a pet (insert noun) that can also (insert last interesting verb)

for example:
draw a(n) (demonic) (bunny) that is (orange) with (5) (metalic) (eyes) and can (fly) with it's (ears) and has a pet (computer mouse) that can also (fly)

of couse, you dont have to use my template... I just made it off the top of my head to give an example of what you could have done with it to make it more interesting and never the same twice.  I got "orange monster twice" - but untill you fix your program, i'll go ahead and pixel my orange monster

fun idea though

EDIT:  as i thought about it some more - it'd also be cool if you had a random cultural background be chosen... like a Persian demonic bunny.  or sterio-type clothing fashions.

Ok I've added an expert version, see the second link in the first post. Can we get to drawing now please....
oh, and Indigo Thanks for the support.
I've choses to make it more than just critters though so less developement is needed.


Here is a screen of the expert version.

Also if you choose the expert version please connect the primary and secondary objects.  If you get like an orange truck and four calculators you could make the truck full of math geeks with calculators. I really don't want to see anymore waisted thread space just draw....I beg you!!! Really I think this would be fun...please try it I really want to see some posts. I've worked hard on this!

Oh by the way you may add things as you wish to embellish the scenes.

Outlaw, you forgot to count black and white, that makes 8 colors. And nice chair blink!

Here's the rules i got:
Color: blue
Theme: plant
Also include 5 pencils
You may only use 6 colors

edit: a PHP version would be nicer, so people don't have to download the program

Yes, but he doesn't want me to make it because it's his idea and it's his right to say so.

Php is a code used for scripting forums.
It's basically html only a tad more dynamic.

You use alot more tables thes you do in normal html.

Ok after much thought if anyone wants the word banks i'll give them to you to php them into a script. :) Just as long as you say something like data compilation by Ryan Burnside. Just pm me.

Anyway, I will send you a PM.

Actually I have quite a bit of knowledge of php.
But I just have a hard time putting the explination of what exactly it is into words.

Great Work Guys! sorry about the thread never taking off. I guess people just can't trust an .exe these days.

And the code is much too garbled to make php. I really want to thank all who tried and contributed.
