Paint brush & MS Paint are the 2 acceptable programs that have been noted in teh roolz... in the latest MS Paint contests... so you're good my brother. The convo taking place is based on cell phones & tablets programs that aren't able to use either of those programz.
For the most part, I think anyone can use most cell phone programs until we work out the details. But there will be no tolerance for advanced functions such as layering, or opacity blending, that would give a distinct advantage to them. We will be able to see that... so please save everyone some trouble & just don't do it.
MS Paint is a one layer, zero "opacity blending" program & that is what the nature of this contest is about. So anyone using a tablet or cell phone in which we have not pinpointed a dedicated software for these competitions yet, can use this understanding & be okay in this particular contest if they just don't use those advanced features.
By the next contest we will have this controversy figured out & reduced to a new rool. For now, we're just hoping this doesn't get manipulated. These contest roolz are a work in progress & we're doing the best we can, so please don't push the limits just because you think you can get away with it. You can't. Any advanced techniques that are detected will be disqualified. Just stick with one layer & no Opacity blending & use your common sense to recognize any other special techniques your program might offer, & you'll be fine. MS Paint is as basic as it comes. This is what the contest is about & that's what's acceptable.
