How do I 'butter the pan' (paint an area)?

hey all,

i have a recipe game that starts with buttering the pan... and although it doesn't seem right to some... there is such a thing as 'too much butter'.

can anyone offer advice on how to do this better than what i have?

i'm using a technique of drawing a wide line, sort of like a brush... here's my problems...

1. it's inelegant, it doesn't look like a brush

2. i need to place the butter stroke on the pan... i have a max x value when you click the mouse down... but if you click several times, you'll see the brush is erratic.

3. i'd love it if i could use a real brush image instead of the cursor arrow to brush the pan... don't know how to do that

4. i have no way to test if there's too much butter... and i really should... we're all trying to live healthier.

any help is sweetly appreciated.

here's a link to my c3p file.

Try using a canvas, drawing a sprite on that canvas and use blending modes on different layers to make it work.

3. Use Mouse - Set Cursor from Sprite

note: the sprite needs to be somewhere on the layout

alvarop ah... that sounds above my capacity... can you explain more? is there an example somewhere?
