Hey everyone,

Basically the title. I'd like to learn how to make my own drawing program and I'm slightly surprised that I can't seem to find anything about it. No tutorials or discussions about requirements or just general tutorials.

Does anyone have any recommendations on where I could start?

For 2) I'd also suggest to check out SDL. There are excellent SDL bindings for Rust, and it's way less involved than dragging in a fully-featured game engine.
