Painting Program

C++ program made for a technical test. Add shapes through the main menu bar the top. Then modify their settings through the pop-up menu after clicking on them to select them. Move them around by dragging them around with you mouse. If it has an animation pattern assigned, drag its centre circle to move it and drag the shape itself to change the size of the pattern

Installing
