Devlog 03

The next question was, “Can it even open the kind of images I use?” I used Pillow because it made loading and converting images much less scary.

What I did

Added a file picker for image files.
Loaded images with Pillow and converted them to RGB.
Put the image-loading work into image_processor.py instead of mixing it into the GUI.

Current result

Users can choose an image from their computer.
The program has a separate place for image-related code.

Devlog 02

I started with the least exciting but most reassuring thing: making an actual window appear. Seeing a blank app on screen made the project feel real.

What I did

Set up main.py to start the program.
Created a basic Tkinter app shell.
Added a title, a simple layout, and a place for image controls.

Current result

The app launches without needing a terminal-focused workflow.
There is a foundation to build the interface onto.

Devlog 01 — The idea

So I was thinking: what if I could give a program a picture and have it draw it with my mouse? It sounded simple at first, but then I realised the computer needs a list of tiny movements, not just an image.

What I did

Defined the goal: load an image, turn it into strokes, and reproduce them on screen.
Chose Python because I already knew enough to experiment quickly.
Picked Tkinter for the desktop window and wrote down the main parts the project would need.

Current result

A clear plan instead of just “make a drawing bot.”
The first rough project folder and entry-point idea.
