This article is about Space Sim Lore. It contains anecdotes or Spacesim mythology.


MSPaint, Microsoft Paint, or just Paint is a program that comes packaged with Windows 95 and up, and thus is available on Spacesim's oldest computers. It is a crude drawing program with limited text that saves bitmaps.

During the mission, MSPaint is used to draw diagrams to share between the Habitat, Mission Control, and the simulators. During work sessions, MSPaint frequently distracts people. Some members neglect their Task Forces to draw fractals, patterned desktop backgrounds, and cartoons featuring Sim Lore.
