Scratch 3.0 || Option to draw with a stylus

Before I start, I don't know if this is a discussion yet or not, so dont report me if it is. Just inform me.

So, When I'm not at school or on Scratch, I am drawing or creating art on my laptop. My laptop is new and I can't draw very well with the tiny mouse on the bottom, so I use a stylus (my laptop is a HP 2-in-1, so it can turn into a tablet when you fold the screen over). Also, I am working on a big game involving a lot of drawn sprites. You may be thinking, why doesn't this girl just upload from Firealpaca? Well, when I upload from Firealpaca, the image goes all pixelated and weird; when I try to draw with a stylus on the drawing bit, it just moves the screen up.


ScratchTeam, if you could add a mode where someone can draw without a mouse, I would appreciate it very much as an artist!


Thanks, Wolfpaw9

Scratch 3.0 || Option to draw with a stylus

I definitely support the ability to draw with a stylus; I'm just not 100% sure browser code (JavaScript) is even really capable of telling the difference between a mouse and a stylus, properly. Making the stylus act point and click instead of acting like a mouse wheel scroll might be up to a browser setting.

Also, Scratch shouldn't pixelate images you import from FireAlpaca (and any similar art program); the key is that you need to create your pictures at a resolution that works well with Scratch. 480x360 pixels is the dimensions of the Scratch stage, so it's a good idea to work at that size. 960x720 also works if you prefer a larger canvas (I think it might get slightly pixelated when you import though).
