Thing-a-Day 2011 #26 - "Improved" scribbling in JavaScript

This post used to be on Posterous. I rescued my posts before Posterous shut down and am now sharing them here.

I played with the mouse coordinate handling a bit to try and compensate for the rotation, but it's still not great. For some reason, up-and-down movements seem to track well, but left-right movement causes the drawing point to move up and down relative to the cursor.

My guess is that I am just being bad at "the maths" and that I'll get it figured out later. :)

Rendering of a sticky note with rendered Hershey script font text and scribbling. The rendered text is 12 repetitions of the word 'derp' and the scribbles spell out 'Drawing is hard'.
