Building and Running
--------------------
Packages
--------
Regular releases are sporadic. git master should be stable enough. You can get
a package with the latest development version from Archlinux's AUR, or from
openSUSE Build Service for the rest of mainstream distributions. Consult the
list of repositories and their respective links at:
https://build.opensuse.org/project/repositories/home:pjanouch:git
Building

Now, for standalone mode you can run:
To install the application, you can do either the usual:
$ ./autistdraw
# make install
To run as a server for other clients to connect to and draw simultaneously:
Or you can try telling CMake to make a package for you. For Debian it is:
$ ./autistdraw -s :1234
$ cpack -G DEB
# dpkg -i autistdraw-*.deb
Finally, to connect to a running server, run:
$ ./autistdraw -c localhost:1234
Note that for versions of CMake before 2.8.9, you need to prefix `cpack` with
`fakeroot` or file ownership will end up wrong.
Usage
-----
Simply select a colour you like from the palette and draw by clicking and
dragging the mouse. Use the middle mouse button to move the canvas.
For standalone mode you can run the program without arguments:
$ autistdraw
To run as a server for other clients to connect to and draw simultaneously:
$ autistdraw -s :1234
To connect to a running server, run:
$ autistdraw -c localhost:1234
Once you have the program running, simply select a colour you like from the
palette and draw by pressing and dragging the mouse. Use the middle mouse
button to move the canvas.
You can store the current image to `drawing.bin` and load it back using the
's' and 'l' keys respectively. To just export the current picture for printing
it on a terminal, press 'e'. To export for IRC, press 'E'.
