Draw and upload·
Your own pictures, kept in Mine on the server, ready for your next game too.
Draw it·
Draw it is Piskel, the pixel editor code.org uses: pen, fill, select, layers, onion skin, frames. Start a new drawing at 16, 24, 32, 48 or 64 px (a tile also gets 30), or Edit in Piskel on the picture a thing is wearing. It saves as you draw, and the game changes as you do.
- Full screen gives the drawing the whole window. Undo and Redo go one stroke at a time.
- A character with moves (still, walk, jump) draws each move as its own frames. Click a frame to draw on it.
- Save PNG keeps a copy on your computer. Use a plain square again takes the picture off.

Mine, and By students·
What you draw or upload is kept in Mine. Deleting a picture from Mine leaves the games already using it with their copy. You can offer a drawing from Mine to the library: once spawn admin has checked it, it shows under By students for everyone, with your first name.
