Two thoughts/questions:

- do you feel that this could be used to make a (simple) drawing program?

- have you considered setting up your codebase as a Literate Program?

Notably, that would then allow publishing the project as a PDF for didactive purposes.

1. Not in the current state of the engine, but in the future - after implementing all the graphics functions that i plan to add - yes, absolutly.

2. Hmm no, first time i hear about it

Thanks! I've been suffering for analysis-paralysis trying to pick an environment for a current project --- hopefully this will get me actually working....

If you have occasion to try Literate Programming, or have any interest in the concept, I'd be glad to hear of it.

Also, if you want to use winforms for your painting app, you can have a look at the image editor of the IDE - https://github.com/ArcadeMakerSources/ArcadeMaker/blob/maste... It only has a few tools now, but i think it's a great base to start
