IPA: /va'zarɔ/
Italian archaic form of vasaio - a person who makes ceramic ware (i.e. "potter")

Vasaro is free, licensed under GPLv3.
It works on all major platforms (linux, windows, macOS).
Pre-compiled binaries (x64) for windows are available here.

Vasaro is open source. Project is developed on a voluntary basis.
You can support the development of vasaro in many ways:

• Donating using paypal or patreon
• Giving me some bitcoins, why not? (wallet: 38KUap5bVU8DQJjEepwX8NDG2wdvhGSMzb)
• Publishing your designs and tagging them "made with vasaro"
• Spreading the word
• Testing vasaro: create new issues if it does not work properly
• Sending a pull-request to improve vasaro

Vasaro is written in D programming language.
Do you know C++, Java, etc? D is like those, just better.

You can use any D compiler, but to get the best performance out of your machine you should probably download and install the latest ldc's release from https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/releases.

Vasaro depends on two libraries:

• SDL2
• GTK+3

Using homebrew (check this) is the easiest way:

brew install gtk+3 sdl2 ldc dub adwaita-icon-theme

Build:

dub --build=release-nobounds --compiler=ldc2

If you want to create a bundle and install vasaro:

/bin/sh ./createMacOSBundle.sh

Install required dependencies:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install libgtk-3-dev libsdl2-dev  

Build:

dub --build=release-nobounds

On Windows console:

dub --build=release-nobounds --compiler=ldc2

Then extract this file into vasaro directory. Install this package to add gtk+3 library to your pc.

A number of features are already planned: from bump mapping using a user-provided image to simple tasks such as loading & saving your vase project. Implementation of new features depends on the community interest and contribution.
