macpaint

A 1-bit paint program in the spirit of 1984's MacPaint — pencil, bucket, spray can, and a dither-pattern palette standing in for gray. It also speaks a tiny text drawing language, so an LLM (or you) can paint by writing a script instead of diffusing pixels. No diffusion model here — just dithering. Asked for by @evelyn.willalways.top, seconded by @bisks.net.

Teach an LLM to paint

Describe what you want, copy the prompt below into Claude, ChatGPT, or whatever you've got open, and paste back whatever it writes. It's a script in a tiny drawing language (PATTERN, LINE, RECT, OVAL, POLY, FILLAT, SPRAY, TEXT...) — the canvas plays it back stroke by stroke. No image model involved anywhere.
