[Sugar-devel] Tux Paint - Save and new

[Alan Jhonn Aguiar Schwyn]

Why the people like more TuxPaint than Paint??
The colors of the interface.. maybe.... but..
the thing that all the teachers says in Tux is: the STAMPS!!
If paint have it.. there are more near to Tux..

Well, it depends on a purpose... ;)



If purpose is exactly to paint something, then for sure, Paint is just

works. But imagine for a bit that you are not a developer but a person

[maybe young person] who is just opening this feature. From this

perspective, what we will get after opening two these applications:



* Paint, all-grey screen with standard set of painting primitives

* Tuxpaint, colorful screen when even standard painting primitives

  contain something special, but there are bunch of another places to

  explore and get excited

Hmm, then we need re-think sugar ui at all! :)
I am trying to improve Paint, but without loosing a simple
and integrated experience. 
Manuel is planning add different pencils (most of the backend work is alreday done to support stamps)

and add to the pencils the possibility to follow the movement direction.
About adding clip art, I think would be better if we can found a solution to share resources,
and add media useful to many activities. 


Personally I don't like the user interface of Paint, but may be you are right, is because I am a developer :)

Anyway is good to have choices.

I guess, the winner is obvious. I don't mean, "do nothing, use what

already exists" but that the difference should be clear between these

two examples. And, if someone is willing to test his strength and create

another painting application (ie, sugar idea is exactly about learning

by doing) because his favorite PL is not C, why not using best the

example (Tuxpaint) and create something better.
