- Problem
Drawing pixel art in a general image editor means fighting antialiasing and a canvas that does not think in cells.
- What I built
No framework and no libraries. The grid is the data structure, the tools write into it directly, and flood fill walks neighbours from the clicked cell. Grid size switches between 16, 24, 32 and 48 squares, and export writes the grid out as an image.
- Result
Deployed, with pen, eraser, fill, four grid sizes and image export.
