This is my first zig project and also just my first project with a systems programming language. It mostly exists as a learning exercise, but I also love to draw and will probs use this tool a lot if I find time to get it built.

TODO

• create a model for representing a layer that fills the screen
• crate a draw square fn for writing to the layer
• create a render layer fn for writing the layer to the screen
• figure out how to zoom in and out and around
