Controls

• Use the 'Select Image' button to pick an image to paint. You can use any of the example images from the bin folder or one of your own. It must be a .png file.
• A mouse is necessary to use this program
• Left click or left click and drag to paint the image
• Hold right click and drag to pan around the image
• Use the scroll wheel to zoom in/out
• Use the 'Reveal Image' button to show the fully painted image

Project Description

• Our end goal is a fully functional paint by numbers game that allows the user to import their own photos.
• This project will fill a gap in the paint by numbers game market: no games allow users to select their own photos.
• We will have to learn in-depth about image manipulation in Java, as well as image manipulation algorithms, to accomplish this.
• We anticipate the most difficult part of the project being reducing colors in an image to stylize it as a paint by numbers.
