Color cycling FTW. Lost art!!!
Also, it's a much closer analogy to the moving beer signs that inspired #BillAtkinson to create the "marching ants" effect in #MacPaint.

Kopf hinter #Quickdraw:
#Entwickler Bill #Atkinson mit 74 Jahren verstorben
Durch seine #Arbeit an #Quickdraw und #Macpaint gilt er als wichtiger #Apple- #Entwickler. Nun ist #BillAtkinson an Bauchspeicheldrüsenkrebs verstorben.
#SteveJobs holte Atkinson als Mitarbeiter Nr. 51 zu #Apple und zum ersten Entwicklungsteam der Firma. Dem #Programmierer ist die #Quickdraw- #Bilschirmtechnologie mit ihren auffälligen abgerundeten Ecken zu verdanken.

I’m not a fan of self-boosting, but I realised I was remiss in not putting some hashtags on this post after it started gaining the small amount of traction it has.
For those who boosted or liked the original, I’m not asking or expecting a repeat. I just hope with these hashtags it gets a little more traction to acknowledge the genius of #BillAtkinson, who affected so many lives through the genius work he did.
I know he impacted many aspects of my life through the work he did on the Mac, the original System, and MacPaint, and it seems many others were similarly impacted.
It’s been truly inspiring for me to see Mac legends talk how he put the lie to the saying “Never meet your heroes”, as he seemed to have been a hero to many, and never a disappointment in person.
RIP, Bill. :alogo6:

RIP Bill Atkinson - one of the original Macintosh team.
He created both MacPaint & Hypercard which had a big influence on me as a kid.

OMG I've never seen this video containing a panel by the team behind the original Macintosh together with Steve Jobs.
Bill Atkinson RIP gives a demo of MacPaint around 29 minutes in. Remember kids this at first was painting software on a greyscale display, not colour.
