This post is meant to provide a general overview of the code structure to contextualize later information.
Platform
As with Handmade Hero, I'm using a win32 layer that opens a dll with the platform-independent interaction and rendering code. The dll is watched and reloaded when it gets recompiled.
Points
All the drawing is based on a large array of points, which shapes index into for their constituent components. This allows for easily moving points around both individually by the user and as a group when rotating/panning/zooming the canvas.
These are currently alongside a parallel array of bytes ...

- Pan with the arrow keys or middle-click + drag or space + left-click + drag.
- Return to the origin with Home.
- Zoom with PgUp/PgDown or the scroll wheel.
- Rotation is achieved by setting the (horizontal, right-facing) x-axis. After selecting a point, Alt + left-click to set the x-axis along the line that would have been drawn.

Hi all, thanks for checking out my project. The software I'm making, 'Geometer', is a desktop application for drawing in a way that emulates traditional construction with compass and straightedge. There's more info on the impetus behind it on the main project page, so I'll try not to repeat myself too much here.
