Overview
BabyBrain Art Generator is an ultra-minimalist pixel-art utility targeted at retro game developers and lo‑fi creators who want strict, pixel‑level control without distractions. The tool provides a tiny fixed 32x32 canvas limited to black, gray, and white—no layers, brush settings, or color wheels—focusing creators on constraint-driven, pixel‑perfect design. Exports are produced as 256x256 PNGs using nearest‑neighbor scaling to preserve crisp, retro aesthetics. Distributed as a small downloadable ZIP (BabyBrain_Art_Generator.zip), the project emphasizes simplicity and a philosophy of ‘‘no bloat, just make art’’, making it ideal for icons, game sprites, zines, and other lo‑fi assets.

Only black, gray, and white to maintain lo‑fi, NES-style aesthetics.
Nearest-Neighbor 256x256 Export
Upscales the 32x32 drawing to a crisp 256x256 PNG using nearest‑neighbor to preserve pixel edges.
Single-file Distribution
Distributed as BabyBrain_Art_Generator.zip (very small download, ~786 bytes listed).
Minimal UI Philosophy
No layers, no brush settings, no color wheels—focus on pure pixel placement.
