Yes i think this is a good idea with the grid Option and the Rainbow Color.But should the rainbow Color include all pico8 colors or only a few like red green blue and yellow ? I will add the thinks when i have time (probably tomorow).

Here now, @bonbon.
That turned out quite well.
Here is a variation where the keys are a little faster. This takes advantage of Pico-8's ability to change delay and repeat speed.

Also I let the cursor wrap-around the screen.
I also noticed you are using RECTFILL() in 30-different lines for your grid. Here it also is using simpler FOR/END statements and a darker color grid.
That is really cool, I am not so experienced in pico8 and lua. This is my 3 project. My beginning was watching youtube series where I tried to reproduce the examples on my side. I am really happy that you provide me with feedback, so that I can increase my skills and I can learn some new things.

I noticed that if i use btn() instead of btnp() its also moves faster.
So i tried to change if you pressing o + right to change the color but it didnt work.
But here is version 1.3

Yep, that's too fast cursor movement though, @bonbon. Save BTN() for instances like auto-fire in games or if you're going to hold it down to display something that vanishes when let go of.
For your paint program, BTNP() is perfect, and feel free to adjust the numbers above.
8 to me is perfect for delay and 1 for repeat speed, maximum.
Try out this cart to see what buttons affect what joystick controls:

Notice it shows what to type in Pico-8 to determine that button or keystroke.
Here is version 1.4.
I changed the btn() back to btnp() and used instead the poke() commands.

Well thank you so much, @bonbon.
As you're pretty new here one of the highest honors you can receive for your carts or give to others is what we call a Gold Star. It looks like this:
You can give anyone you want a gold star by clicking on the gray star that is at the top of the cart found HERE:
Here let me give you one to demonstrate - and also because I like your cart as it works in a grid.
Now if you notice a cart that has hundreds of gold stars, chances are it is a REALLY good game or cart. That's how we rate things here. And of course the kind and thoughtful comments, possibly even suggestions, are more than welcome in many cases, especially for new Piconians finding their way around ...
Pico-8 has been around a very long time now so don't be surprised to find games and carts that are years old - and of course are loved and favorited by many active Piconians. :)
This is version 2.0
Nothing changed except that I added a start screen.
Best Regards
Bonbon
