Kanvas

Kanvas is a minimal Microsoft Paint like utility that provides users with the ability to easily draw lines and shapes of different colors and sizes. The application presents users with a blank white canvas and provides them with various drawing tools that can be used to add detail to their canvas.

Getting Started

To run the program, head to the release page and download the latest JAR artifact. This includes all dependencies to run on the JVM version 11 or greater. Then, run the program with Java. For example:

java -jar <download-location>/kanvas-1.0.jar

Pre-requisites

The Kotlin tutorial only provides instructions using the Intelli-J IDE. JetBrains' Getting Started page for compose is better. Nevertheless, the following is a semi-accurate list:

• Gradle (will be installed by Gradle Wrapper)
• For native applications (compiled to binary), kotlin-native (compiler)
• For JVM applications, Java runtime environment (JRE), version 11

Building with Gradle

1. Clone this repository

   git clone git@github.com:EthanG78/kanvas.git

2. Enter the project source tree

   cd kanvas

3. Build the fat Jar with Gradle. Gradle will automatically be installed using gradlew, the gradle wrapper.

   ./gradlew jar 

4. Run the jar with java

   java -jar build/libs/kanvas-1.0.jar
