NOTE: If step 4 throws too many errors, try this:

A quick TODO list:

• Add a database
• Add a notion of an unfilled pixel (-1 colour value)
• Add scaling and dragging instead of scrolling
• Add adequate UI on draw.html
• Add colour picker, colour history etc.
• Optimize sending data
• Optimize drawing the canvas
• Refactor draw.js
• Add the possibility of changing palettes
• Add help messages
