Almost fully finished vector graphics editor. This can be used in the future to create vector graphics which takes much less space than normal sprite and can be resized without pixelating effect. Such graphics can be used in games and animations.

To create shape simply select color, shape and right click points. Shapes continuing line and polygon must be closed be double clicking last point.

You can also move points by right clicking mouse at least 5px from a point. The point then changes color to blue and can be moved where mouse cursor is while still holding right button. Release right button to end point movement. When you press shift (move point/move shape icon) once you set the mode to move the whole shape while mouse dragging.

Added gradient and pattern fill, undo, big optimalization of redrawing.

Added save and load functions. Program saves shapes encoded into string to console. To see the log create a BAT file in windows and put in there this text: tic80.exe > out.txt
Everytime you save the shapeData string will be put into the out.txt file. Copy it from there and whenever you want to edit your shapes put them at the first line in code where 'local shapeData' is defined. Save will not work in browser version, use standalone version instead.

Added copy/paste functions. Select shape by right clicking it. Press C or icon for copy. Now you see the paste icon changed color. Whenever you click the shape from buffer will be copied there.

Added more fill patterns. Change in gui toolset.

masternama	#3016 Awesome!
Rigachupe	#3020 For painting game screens or pictures the program is finished. And i am starting to think to create another project that will start to use bones, animations and grouping and will not use fill/gradient functions. These are very cpu costly when redrawing each time. For static images it is ok, but for dynamic animations it will be not much used.
kikeroga	#3215 This is fantastic. (-: I feel like I can make a nostalgic adventure game!
Rigachupe	#3218 You created the mystery house adventure and i loved playing it to the end. Please by all means continue creating such good games. 👍
kikeroga	#3219 Oh! Thank you for playing my game. :-D Mystery House is still a masterpiece that never fades. I wanted to reproduce it with TIC-80, so I tried my best to make it. I think your tool will be a good approach for new challenge.
