Phinxel's Field Notes
Welcome to Phinxel's Phield Notes
Wowie Zowie, let's make things in Decker!
A program where you can make art, games, zines, personal applications and more!
It's a little hard to find your way around new software at first but if you're willing to put your hand in Phinxel's soft little paws he'll happily show you some things about Decker that might be useful to know when you're new. And a bunch of other stuff you definitely didn't ask for...!
This is a Cuddly Colorful Companion to the official Decker Documentation and the Decker Tour.
Note: There's no "Fullscreen" button on the itch.io iframe but you can use the "Fullscreen" option in the Decker Menu inside the project once you've opened the book.
Note for Mobile users: This isn't optimized for mobile so text and buttons might be kind of small. There's a toggle to reverse the swipe direction on the inside of the front cover if it helps!
Wanna get started making your own project in Decker?
- Decker's official page on itch.io is over here!
- If you're on Linux you can build it from source using instructions on the project's github.

very very cool! big fan of the illustrations and examples, it makes it easier to digest all of that information :3 i will visit the grid section a lot because i can't figure them out myself haha
oh btw it looks like theres a rogue locked button in the Art tab, under the Drawing in Decker section!
Thanks for catching that!! And for reading! The grids section has less information than some of the others because I'm still learning... but I hope it can help a little bit!
