# Paint
**Make drawings, animations, and games with Gleam!**

Paint is a tiny embedded domain specific language (inspired by [Gloss](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/gloss)).
Make pictures out of basic shapes then style, transform, and combine them using the provided functions.

```gleam
import paint as p
import paint/canvas

fn main() {
  let my_picture = p.combine([
    p.circle(30.0),
    p.circle(20.0) |> p.fill(p.colour_rgb(0, 200, 200)),
    p.rectangle(50.0, 30.0) |> p.rotate(p.angle_deg(30.0)),
    p.text("Hello world", 10) |> p.translate_y(-35.0),
  ])

  canvas.display(fn(_: canvas.Config) { my_picture }, "#canvas_id")
}
```

> [!NOTE]
> Currently, there is only a HTML canvas backend for displaying the pictures.
> Hopefully, I will have time to add other backends in the future (such as SVG). Feel free to contribute!
