    Picture Wars(more commonly referred to as PW) is a 2D forum games powered by imagination and programs like MSpaint, GIMP, and Photoshop just to name a few.
    The basis of PW is creating sprites that end up shooting/cutting/slicing and eating each other in games called Matches. You can use any browser you wish to save the images from your matches and stickk them in your editor, but DON'T USE INTERNET EXPLORER. It has a habit of darkening images.
    This here is the main forum for PW, if you wish to join up and make your own armies.
    The main forum is here http://picturewars.net/smf/index.php
    A couple of more in depth guides from the dead FPPW sub forum to show you the basics.

    PROTIP
    DO NOT TAKE OTHER PEOPLES ARMIES AND RECOLOR THEM OR JUST TAKE THEM FOR YOUR OWN. STEALING IS BAD.
    ARMIES are usually broken up into:
    1.Infection armies, which are mainly just big lumps of organic mass that enjoy eating things and taking over maps for their leader organism. (Think Zerg.)
    2. WW2/Modern armies are just that. Even though thats all I make, they aren't very original seeing as they are just MWG, or just Mans with Guns.
    3.Future armies are pretty much jetpacks, lazers, pew pew pew and sphess marines of all kinds.
    4. Steampunk armies are mixes of medieval and modern armies.
    5. Medieval armies are the normal nights in shining armor and the like that should be expected.

    Here are some matches.

    I haven't personally made one, but there are some around the PW forum for an example.
