Paint Program w/ Crude Layers Feature

-----------------------------------

Hey, this is an old paint program, for comp. eng, that I never got back to and recently I felt like implementing a crude layers feature. However, it only supports 2 layers (Well 3, due to bugs). So, I just wanted to post this for anyone, use whatever code if you want.(if you could actually read the messy code).

Features:
-Pencil, Pen, Brush, Replace, Eraser, Scrap Tools
-42 Colours
-Primitive Layers, Import, Export (Imp./Exp. aren't very user friendly)
-A semi-nice GUI?

Import/export Commands:
dir - lists the current directory
exit - exit the import/export
import  
export 

Extra Notes:
-The program will create three files where the the program is stored, layer1.bmp, layer2.bmp, temp.bmp, upon running.
-To access layers, press option > press the layers > then click in the drawing area > the layers will appear, however this must be done after drawing so that the "DRAW HERE" is gone.
-Then press layer 1, draw something, then press layer2 draw something. Draw with different colours so you 'll see that the layers do work.
-Layers do not have any indication which one is selected

-Program does crash during the time I was testing the layers feature, though very rarely

If you have any questions about anything here, feel free to ask.

This is really cool! There is major lag when dragging the tools, but overall quite nice!

Why do you have a click to continue screen when it takes a while to load just start right in the program.

Also why don't you continue to work on this?

Thanks : )

Oh, it was a run once program for comp. eng. class that I have, so I decided to ease in the program. As for continuing to work on it, maybe in the future i'll completely implement everything that I wanted but for now my interest is elsewhere mainly my exams that's comming up.
