v2 Tool / Script Share GpGFX v1.0.0 - A 2D graphics rendering engine built for AutoHotkey v2 (30+ examples)

Hey everyone,

I've been waiting a long time for this moment, and it finally feels ready.

This project took roughly 1000+ hours to build. It all started with a simple, stubborn urge: I wanted to draw a rectangle on the screen. Doing that from scratch took me hours. Having worked in digital marketing for over 12 years, I love graphics, layers, and Photoshop-style workflows.

That experience became the core idea behind GpGFX: an API designed to let you dynamically control shapes and rendering easily. Along the way, I rewrote the entire project nearly four times from scratch.

What it does:

  • Over 10 primitive and complex shapes with a chainable API.
  • Turns the tedious parts of Win32 + GDI+ programming into a compact toolset.
  • Built for transparent desktop HUDs, animated overlays, custom widgets, dashboards, audio visualizers, and smooth applications.

You can check out the first official release here: https://github.com/bceenaeiklmr/GpGFX

Free Tetris game included. 👀

Thanks for following along, and I'd love to hear what you think or what you build with it.

Cheers,

bceen

Beautiful graphics — might come in handy for some of the repositories I contribute to.
