At the most basic level it is a simple line drawing program. The aim is to give the artist super powers by enabling them to do things impossible with pen and paper while retaining the basic idea of a drawing interface. superDraw explores the idea of storing animation within a single line. The artist has complete control of all aspects of the line and it&#8217;s visual representation.&#8221; The web version alone is lots of fun to play with.<\/div>\n                <div class=\"delicious-tags\">(tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/kaeru\/processing.org\">processing.org<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/kaeru\/drawing\">drawing<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/kaeru\/sketching\">sketching<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/kaeru\/expression\">expression<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/kaeru\/tools\">tools<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/kaeru\/performance\">performance<\/a>)<\/div>\n            <\/li><li>\n                <div class=\"delicious-link\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.com\/googlebooks\/chrome\/\">Google Chrome<\/a><\/div>\n                <div class=\"delicious-extended\">Getting Scott McCloud to make a comic that explains your product?
