BadPaint is a basic paint program written in C# with .NET as a Windows Forms application. It's designed to work with Windows 10 and up.

As usual, I wanted to challenge myself. My inspiration for this project leads to messing around with Mario Paint and mspaint. I believe in the idea that art should be a fun experience, but I usually find myself frustrated. Of course, my little paint program isn't going to overtake Photoshop or GIMP over the span of a few days. I watched a few YouTube videos on others creating Windows Forms apps and making their own art programs, so I took the liberty to try it for myself.

This wasn't originally going to be my final project, but I'm afraid the original idea I had is a bit too ambitious to finish without sloppy decisions.

BadPaint has two pens bound to the left and right mouse buttons. Currently, these pens are the only tool available.

The line width of both pens is controlled by the numerical input labeled "Line Width" on the right of the config panel at the top right. A valid line width consists of an integer between 0 and 100 inclusive.

The color of the pens can be changed by clicking the corresponding mouse button on the chosen color. Both pens store their own color.

A custom color can be chosen by clicking the "!" button on the custom color chooser. Once a color is chosen from the dialog, the color box itself can be clicked in the same manner as other palette boxes to choose the color.

To save the image, click the top button with a floppy icon. A dialog will appear to save the file as a PNG.

To load an image, click the bottom button with a folder icon. A dialog will appear to load an image file. At this moment in time, cancelling this operation will cause a crash.

The fill button will fill the entire document with the pen color corresponding to the mouse button pressed.
