A downloadable tool for Windows

A simple (bad) painting software with raylib

The software looks minimal, but it isn't, and it's even quite memory inefficient.

How do I do X:

Note: for adjusting values, normal key increases, holding shift decreases, holding ctrl gives you more control (except brush size and window opacity (for now)).
  • Draw with mouse/Z key.
  • Switch between foreground and background color with Tab (removed).
  • Change brush size with A.
  • Change window opacity with T.
  • Change brush color's RGB values with QWE, respectively.
  • Get color under cursor with Y.
  • Export image with F3 (the program chooses the filename. It usually saves where it's executed).
  • Rage quit and delete all your works with Esc.

What to expect:

You can expect nothing. In fact this might be the last time I update the project, however, a programmer should give the users some hopes.

  • A better implementation of the drawing canvas (and a real eraser).
  • Layers.
  • Color chooser/picker/palette (done August 16th).
  • Import images (done August 16th).

FAQs:

Q: What's the weird border?
A: Workaround for drawing on an Image struct. Deal with it.

Q: What file formats does it support?
A: The provided binary supports PNG, JPG, BMP, TGA and GIF.

Install instructions

For Windows:

Download the executable and run it. The program is statically linked and requires no extra dependency.

I use an obscure Linux distro/I want to be an elitist/My system isn't supported:

Though I haven't tested, the program should run with Wine.

Otherwise, compile it:

Download the source code provided. Alternatively download from the Github repository.

The code should compile without problems if you're using a configured Notepad++ from raylib (on Windows). Else install required stuff (raylib, a C compiler, GNU Make).

The process is the same on *nix systems, though you might have to make some adjustments to the Makefile.
