Hello All from rural Maine. QAAA.py is a novel drawing app, which uses text to draw pictures. Some of y'all might have been around at a time when ASCII text was more prevalent.
Well anyway, this app is designed to be cross platform though I'm still working out a bug in Windows, where the transparent window is not transparent. Regardless, it still works...
The main goal was to allow text drawing in ways that are not available in a text editor. The visual component allows rendering text in a variety of colors. using WASD, Arrow keys, a mouse or drawing tablet, text may be creates anywhere in the window with point an click mechanics.
