Yeah, it sends me an email when I get PMs (and incidentally also when someone replies to this post).  I'd be happy to post the source; I can't right now because I'm at work, but let me look it over and make sure there's nothing too ugly I've left behind in there and I'll put it up.

Great! I can't wait to see it! :)

Btw. What development environment are you you using?
I have used Eclipse, but never wrote any separate application in Java (don't even know if you can do it in Eclipse, I only wrote some classes for another application which loaded them and was calling the methods etc.).
Although I have a lot a of experience with C++ applications, so shouldn't have much problems, and I have to learn Java anyway. ;)

OK, this may not be the best way to distribute source code, but here it is.  Each spoiler is a java class (yes, there are only 4).  I developed this in Eclipse.  To get it to run in Eclipse (without compiling to a jar first) you have to have your data in the DFPaint project folder in your Eclipse workspace.  If you're using a different IDE, I don't know where it should go but it has to find the data folder in the default directory.

The code has approximately zero documentation, so it's pretty much up to you to figure out what I did. I haven't looked at it for a good 2 months, but I can try to answer any questions you have.

Good luck!

For everyone interested:
I am working on DFPaint code and if nothing comes wrong, new version should be ready in a few days.
I have added some new features but won't give any specifics until it is finished. ;)

Can anyone help me get this to work on a vista? I've got in unzipped but it absolutely refuses to open any sort of window or anything no matter how much clicking I do.

I'm not sure. What comes to mind is:
 Ya got java? Ya got compatabiliy mode on? Ya got electricity? Yar mouse plugged in?

If none of those are the problem, tell us some specifics.

You need to have it in the same folder as 'dwarfort.exe'.
You also need to have 'curses_640x300.bmp' file (default tileset) in <DF folder>\data\art\ because it assumes it is there.

In the next version it popups a message when something goes wrong, instead of just closing.

Here you go:

Stage1
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Stage2
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Stage3
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I couldn't use alt screenprint, so you could see both windows of the app (canvas and selector) I had to show you my desktop (oh noes).


Edit: just looked at the time between start and finish, I can't believe that took 40 minutes.

Thanks! Reminds me of my younger days when I drew ANSI art for BBS welcome screens! I used a program called "ANSI Paint" and back then I never really understood why I always got a virus after running that program... Since then I've become considerably better at causality.
