Chinese Ink Painting Puzzle & Creator / 國畫拼圖創作家

A brilliant piece of software that enables people that have no real talent in drawing (like myself) to create amazing pieces using only their imagination. The game has two parts. In the 'puzzle' section one has to put elements in predetermined spaces and complete puzzles. With each puzzle completed more elements are unlocked for future use in the 'creative' part of the game. More important is that with each puzzle solved one understands how to use the creative part of the software. The 'creation' part is of course where this game shines. Only limit is the imagination. One can write short stories, poems, haikus, share work in social media,print work, create from large scale paintings down to miniatures and so on. Note that you cannot draw lines with this software. You use elements and create paintings. Music on the background adds to the traditional Chinese aesthetics of the game. A huge plus is Steam Workshop Integrated where other users puzzles and works can be downloaded and solved. All and all this game is becoming one my favorites. It is relaxing, easy to use and aesthetically pleasing!

I think the most important, but not at all obvious, button is the [b]'all edit/element edit' toggle[/b]. switching between them lets you move the canvas around and zoom in/out, as well as let go of the currently selected object, you can't just put something down you clicked on otherwise. pieces tend to cover parts of the image and can become even harder to see, but to mitigate this, there's a [b]'re-sort piece'[/b] button, which re-arrang…
