[Tuxpaint-devel] Kids mode

[Pere P. i C. <per...@gm...>]

Hi all,

In the Tux Paint Android Github we have a pull request that implements an oversimplified interface for Tux Paint addressed to young children.
It also implements an increasing of the canvas via hide/show the color row and Tux row.

If you want to test it, there is an apk provided, and I've just made a small patch to allow compile it under Linux, so we can see it without having to compile it for Android.

The pull request by Ruben Barkow-Kuder, BTW, Ruben, Welcome if you come here :)
https://github.com/tux4kids/Tuxpaint-Android/pull/48

The Tux Paint's source code with that implementation copied back from the P.R.at 347c58a6a03f7cb46ea92c6173e9e210ad089b19 commit and with my patch:
https://provant.freeddns.org/pere/public_html/Tux%20Paint/devel/20251017/tuxpaint-Kids-by-Ruben-Barkow-Kuder.tar.gz


Note that it differs somehow in Linux vs Android as in the original implementation there seems to be some behaviour exclusively implemented in Android, for example the 3 seconds lock for changing the
interface, the expert/kids button at the top left of the screen.

Are we interested in anything of this?
Personally I don't like the interface changing on the fly, but I would like the simplified interface as result of a expertise setting in the config.
As for the increase of canvas I guess the same, let the users choose if they want it.

Thanks for any comments :)
Pere


P.S. The small patch, already applied, that allows to compile and run under Linux
