> The most challenging task that I am facing in my development beginning, is to get the libraries easel.js and tween.js work as shim dependencies of require.js. In fact, I think I could read require.js documentation thousands of times, I won't be able to get started.

I have created a bootstrap activity for you:
https://github.com/manuq/createjs-activity-bootstrap

The bad thing with CreateJS is that they don't support AMD yet.  But see
https://github.com/CreateJS/EaselJS/wiki/Using-easeljs-and-tweenjs-with-requirejs.
 What worked for me:

./osbuild shell
volo create my-game ./sugar-web-template
cd my-game/lib
wget http://code.createjs.com/easeljs-0.7.1.min.js
mv easeljs-0.7.1.min.js easeljs.js
wget http://code.createjs.com/tweenjs-0.5.1.min.js
mv tweenjs-0.5.1.min.js tweenjs.js

And see the changes I did:
https://github.com/manuq/createjs-activity-bootstrap/commit/79f4e4ed730c71cf42bfa0419f109718fb598fcb

> The other problem, is that I need to put a real canvas element inside the <div id="canvas"> ... but I don't know which size I must give to the canvas in order to fit the sugar Window client area (without the toolbar).

CreateJS does that for you.

> At last, and for that they are plenty of documentations, Javascript OOP development is a bit trikier than the Python/Java OOP development

I have the feeling that I responded this to you already, no?
