Colorear (1996) para Android

Mobile Version of a MIA for MS-DOS

COLOREAR is a game that Jorge and Javi Prieto created for MS-DOS in 1996, but it was never officially released. The code was considered lost for years. This is the same version, with the same five drawings, the same 256-color palette, and the same 320 x 200 pixel canvas, pixel by pixel.

The drawings are hand-drawn using Deluxe Paint 2, and they are colored the way they were back then: you choose a color and tap the area you want to fill. At the time, everything was done using color gradients in the VGA palette, without touching any pixels on the screen.

What has changed is how it's played. The original was controlled with a mouse, and that doesn't work on a touchscreen: the buttons were fourteen points, and returning to the palette was done by pressing the right mouse button. Now there's a control bar always in view, drawings are selected by their image rather than their name, and you can zoom in with two fingers to reach small areas.

• A never-before-released MS-DOS game.

• Five hand-drawn pictures created with Deluxe Paint 2.

• Mobile-optimized version.

• Thirty-two colors, and thirty-two-step undo and redo.

• Save your finished drawing to your pictures and share it.

• Your coloring remains exactly as you left it, even if you close the game.

• Works on mobile and tablet, in both landscape and portrait modes.

• It doesn't ask for any permissions, doesn't connect to the internet, and has no ads.

Many thanks to Migue McLeod for preserving the code after years of believing it lost, and for creating the first Android port.
