Unleash your creativity with **ArtClash**, a unique platform designed to inspire daily practice in drawing, sketching, and cartooning. Unlike Sketchbook, Photoshop, Procreate, or Infinite Painter, ArtClash offers a fresh approach to artistic expression. As a work in progress, it's an exciting journey with the first game already completed and more on the horizon.

**ArtClash** is a passion project crafted by a single developer, aimed at encouraging daily practice for himself and his wife, while inviting others to join in the fun. Dive into a variety of features that make drawing an interactive and rewarding experience:

• Paint: Sketch, paint, and blend to bring your visions to life.
• Import Images: Use them as references or enhance them with your own touches.
• Interactive Drawing: Choose topics or a series of topics, apply optional constraints like time limits, color limits, or canvas sizes, and earn points when others correctly guess your artwork.
• Difficulty Levels: Six levels of difficulty ranging from single words to up to five different words, including nouns, verbs, places, and timer periods.
• Constraints for Extra Points: Challenge yourself with time, color, or canvas size constraints for extra points.
• Free Draw: Unleash your imagination and share your creations with the community.
• NSFW Flag: Option to view images marked as NSFW, giving you control over your viewing experience.

As an early access project, **ArtClash** is not without its challenges. Current issues include an unappealing UI, which is set to be revamped with XAML for a more responsive and visually pleasing interface. Additionally, performance on lower-end devices can be optimized by keeping canvas sizes under 1024x1024, with plans to enhance the GPU-accelerated brush engine.

The future of **ArtClash** is bright, with a roadmap filled with exciting new features:

• More Games: Starting with a "telephone" game featuring drawings.
• Enhanced Social Features: Customize avatars, add comments, friend and follow others to build a vibrant community.
• Improved UI and Brush Engine: Addressing current bugs and enhancing performance.
• Advanced Tools: Marquee selection and transform tools to give you more control over your artwork.
• Expanded Brush Library: More brushes to choose from, with the ability to add and share custom brushes.
• Enhanced Layer System: More robust layer management, including locking transparent pixels and masking capabilities.
• Developer Communication: A feedback system for feature requests, bug reports, and community voting on future changes.
• Moderators: Community members can be promoted to help moderate flagged content and maintain a positive environment.
• User-Generated Content: Submit your own topics and constraints for others to enjoy, subject to moderation.
• Advanced Features: Full image editing, animation, scripting, and game/storyboard prototyping to take your creativity to new heights.

While **ArtClash** is not yet a full image editing suite due to performance considerations and the absence of complete editing features, it excels in fostering social competition and encouragement. Join the community and start your artistic journey with **ArtClash** today.
