Intro to Graphics on Plan 9

A common question asked all over the Plan 9 community is that of how to get started making GUI applications, as 9 is closely married to the GUI.

While I might get around to a step by step tutorial on GUI programming in another post or location, I'd rather compile some helpful examples and resources for getting started.

Some useful programs for reference:

• 9pong
• 9clock
• lines
• squares
• bouncing ball example
• breakout
• snake
• clock
• catclock
• glendy
• mahjongg

Some useful documents for reference:

• bouncing ball example again
• c programming in plan 9
• graphics(2)
• addpt(2)
• allocimage(2)
• draw(2)
• event(2)
• frame(2)
• window(2)
• draw(3)
• rio(4)
• font(6)

Hopefully this helps an intrepid adventurer get started.

Feel free to reach out to me on 9fans or IRC and I'll gladly expand this list.

Happy hacking!
