I found the original "pixel editor" project! here's the very first icon I drew in 2003 :D

and here's the actual project if anyone is interested (it's not that interesting) dropbox.com/s/akscnr4r9n18

Oh man wait dude where’s the one where we literally had a matrix of pixel object instances?!?!

ah no that came later... because it was faster somehow??

how in the hell would that be faster

there was also that period where we drew each pixel with its own NSBezierPath instance!!

that was for the line/ellipse/rect as you drew it! It was faster than undoing each pixel one by one sending msgs

oh man I really really thought I remembered something where we iterated over the canvas and drew each pixel with an NSBP

it was an NSRectFill I think

sometimes I wish I were that naive again. It would make it easier to release things lol

what you mean you don’t want to have to implement your own bytecode compiler and vm to put graphics on the screen
