PspDraw and PspNoptepad: “productivity” tools for the PSP
While some brewers concentrate on making productivity killers for the PSP, others concentrate on producing productivity tools instead (“We put the “P” in PSP”). One such guy, who chooses to go by the name of Impatient – though at times, he goes by “Not logged in (Unregistered)” (hmm…), submitted these two Lua programs to us, PspDraw and PspNotepad. “Kinda nifty,” one of the writers here said while hogging the PSP.
Pretty basic tools, really. PspDraw ain’t exactly MSPaint, but it does combine some very familiar tools: pen, line, solid rectangle, eraser, and color picker. You could even save images onto the Memory Stick. You can’t resize the brush, so it can be a bit tedious to work with. On the plus side, this program incorporates a built-in Zoom window for a closer look at your doodles, at the pixel level. Meanwhile, PspNotepad uses the grid-matrix text input system using the analog stick and the face buttons, while the D-pad is used to move the cursor around.
Basic tools; but good ideas – once people get the hang of the text-input matrix (browse enough on the PSP and one would, indeed), this will make the PSP a very useful note-jotting tool, and thus put the P (for productivity) in the PSP. (You will note, if you look very carefully at the screenshot for the PspNotepad, that this writer has his own opinion on how to improve the program jotted in).
