Analysis updated 2026-05-18
Try out a minimal example of building a paint style app with raylib in C.
Draw simple sketches using left click and drag around the canvas with right click.
Use it as a starting point to learn how raylib handles input and drawing.

Only needs raylib installed and a C compiler to build from source.
Paxx is a small paint program written in C, built using raylib, a simple graphics library often used for games and quick visual tools rather than full applications. Based on what the README describes, it is an early, minimal project rather than a polished drawing app. The controls are basic: clicking the left mouse button lets you draw or click items in a toolbar, holding the right mouse button lets you drag the canvas around, and pressing the escape key quits the program. To use it, the only thing you need installed is raylib itself, since that library handles opening the window and drawing to the screen. Building the project is done from the command line by compiling a file called build.c into a small builder program, then running that builder to produce and launch the main app. There is no separate installer or packaged download described in the README, so a person would need to compile it themselves. The README is quite sparse beyond this, and it lists a couple of unfinished todo items directly: adding some kind of undo feature, and fixing a bug where the program draws on the canvas even while the user is clicking on toolbar buttons in the graphical interface. This suggests the project is still an early work in progress rather than a finished tool.
A small, early stage paint program written in C using the raylib graphics library, with basic drawing and dragging controls.
Mainly C. The stack also includes C, raylib.
No license information was found in the README.
Setup difficulty is rated easy, with roughly 5min to a first successful run.
Mainly developer.
