Kid Pix 1.1

Application file:

Kid Pix 1.1 is the commercial version of the public domain Kid Pix written by Craig Hickman. It's a painting application program in which you can create pop art in a matter of seconds, then dynamite it.

Interesting & Useless Note: If you need to later depersonalize Kid Pix (versions 1.1 and 1.2), open it with ResEdit and delete the kiD resource.

Compatibility:

Kid Pix 1.1 requires the monitor to be in 256, 16, or B&W color modes. It also seems to perform better in a 680x0 environment as in Basilisk II or Mini vMac versus SheepShaver. That is, cursors seem to appear "damaged" in a PowerPC environment. Otherwise, it should run fine under a PPC.

From Wikipedia:

Kid Pix is a bitmap drawing program aimed at children. Originally created by Craig Hickman, it was first released for the Macintosh in 1989 and subsequently published in 1991 by Brøderbund. Hickman was inspired to create Kid Pix after watching his son Ben struggle with MacPaint, and thus the main idea behind its development was to create a drawing program that would be very simple to use.
