I wanted to try something interesting for boing boing's 1k competition and here it is! It's a pretty weirdly functional paint program written in exactly 1000 bytes of HTML, CSS and JavaScript. I'm not talking about a 1000 byte JavaScript file loading into the page. I mean it's 1000 bytes for the whole damn thing! If you're not sure what 1000 bytes is, suffice it to say that it's smaller than our favicon (yes, that little image in the address bar) which is 1120 bytes.

A slow click-and-drag renders pretty good lines and a fast click-and-drag will rock the hot paint splatter action. Now where did I put that copy of windoze 95....

No IE support, 1000 bytes doesn't leave a lot of room for IE hacks ;-)

Have fun! Post screenshot links!
