The Realtime Generative Drawing Canvas was the individual project for my IST 411 (Distrubuted-Object Computing) course at the Pennsylvania State University. The main emphasis of this project was to showcase a piece of artwork that continues to build upon itself with help from the community that accesses it via the web. Check out the live demo here.

✓ Realtime Drawing ✓ User can easily log in or create an account in order to start drawing. ✓ Canvas is fully operational with useful tools (brush, square, circle, line, etc). ✓ User is only able to draw for a defined timespan before receiving a timeout. ✓ Canvas is still viewable if the timeout status is currently active; however, changes cannot be made until timeout resolves.
✓ Additional features are apparent - user can save an image of the canvas, for example. ✓ Canvas supports multiple users, as in multiple users can interact with the canvas at the same time.

✓Checkpoint 3:
✓ Users can draw for a certain amount of time before receiving a timeout (which is assigned to their account) ✓ Timeout prevents user from drawing on the canvas ✓ Canvas is persistent, drawings are now permanent

✓Checkpoint 2:
✓ User accounts are tied to database ✓ Login modal prompts user to login/create account before being able to make changes to canvas ✓ Additional canvas features such as lines and shapes can be used to draw

✓ Checkpoint 1:
✓ On the homepage, the canvas is fully operational and its features are implemented - user can draw and use canvas to their liking. Timeouts are not implemented.
