Prompt 3: Describe how you played with the game.
The abstract nature of this drawing tool and the controls made it feel as if I was playing, as I wasn't quite sure what to expect when I clicked on each one and couldn't get too attached to the outcome of what my painting really looked like. I was able to experiment with each of the brushes to see how the different color, size, and brush shape options all interacted. One way that I played with the tool in was trying to get the shape brushes to look like straight lines. The double brush could appear as a single line when it was set at the largest stroke, and the other two shape brushes could appear as a single line if you drew in a straight vertical line. I didn't really set any goals for myself in terms of creating a final product and I thought it was interesting that there was no reset button for the canvas, so once again, I really couldn't get too attached. What I ended up with was sort of a messy canvas with differently shaped, sized, and colored stokes all over it. An interesting way to play with this tool was also in trying to create words and more concrete images, and the shapes of the brush interfered with this in a certain way but made it more unique. I also thought that the third brush setting/shape was really interesting as it appeared to change between circles and longer lines as you drew in different ways, so that was something I else I played with.
