Recent Updates

2022-03-08 KaleidoPaint
Removes a no-longer-valid constraint from KaleidoPaint 2 that was preventing the pen from resizing correctly when the aspect ratio was set to an extreme value. Thanks to Francine Champagne for reporting this bug.
2023-01-23 4D Maze
Added Polish translation, thanks to Marcin Pilarski.
2022-12-28 KaleidoPaint
Drawing title appears in navigation bar on iOS 16, to allow more space for the drawing itself.
2022-10-10 KaleidoPaint
Entire app re-written in Swift and SwiftUI.
File browser lets you organize your drawings into folders.
File browser supports iCloud Drive as well as local storage on device.
Color picker offers a choice of five color selection methods (grid, spectrum, sliders, eyedropper or hex code) and a user-customizable saved-color palette.
Separate line color ("paintbrush") and fill color ("paint bucket").
You can copy the color of any dot, line or filled region directly to the paintbrush, the paint bucket or any other dot, line or filled region.
You can copy the thickness of any dot or line directly to the paintbrush or any other dot or line.
Options to "change all of same color", "change all of same thickness" or "delete all of same color".
Exports images to any folder.
Option to export images with transparent background.
Adjustable parameter for less vigorous or more vigorous line smoothing.
Simple slider-based interface to adjust drawing's aspect ratio and shear.
Default grid alignment is now consistent among the symmetry patterns *2222, 2222, 2*22, 22*, 22×, **, *× and ××, in the sense that mirror lines and rotation points agree, to make it easier to see the relationships among those symmetry patterns.
Symmetry panel now positions the buttons for the families (**, *× and ××), (22*, 22×) and (*2222, 2222, 2*22) consistently, so you can easily see what symmetries change and what symmetries stay the same as you switch from one pattern to a different pattern in the same family. This also lets you see how the drawing's symmetries relate to the pattern's name in orbifold notation.
Many thanks to Francine Champagne, Amber van Hoek and Geneviève Crabe for their extensive help improving KaleidoPaint. KaleidoPaint is far better thanks to their ideas.
Special thanks to Francine for creating the icons for the symmetry pattern buttons as well as for her instructional videos and web pages.
Special thanks to Amber for creating KaleidoPaint's elegant icon and for providing spectacularly good drawings for KaleidoPaint's App Store screenshots.
