Dazzle Draw is a 1984 computer graphics program developed by David Snider and published by Brøderbund.

Summary
Dazzle Draw is the first double high-res paint program for the Apple ][ series of computers.

Dazzle Draw was written in 1984 by David Snider for Brøderbund. David was working on a game called Cargo Bay. It was a left/right side scrolling game with a magnet crane that could go left/right on a track and could be lowered up and down. The player used it to move containers from and to ships while workers moved around and ships came and went. Back then it was difficult to create art on the Apple ][. He wanted a better way to create the art for the game so he wrote his own paint program. During development Brøderbund was more excited about the paint program than they were about Cargo Bay, so David switched gears and focused on the paint program which became Dazzle Draw.

Dazzle Draw was similar in many ways to MacPaint . But it was a color paint program and even had features that MacPaint didn't offer. For example you could fill a pattern with a pattern.
