📕🐧"A libre drawing program for children from 3 to 12 years old"🐧📕
Tux Paint is a free, award-winning drawing program for children ages 3 to 12 (for example, preschool and K-6).
Tux Paint is used in schools around the world as a computer literacy drawing activity. It combines an easy-to-use interface, fun sound effects, and an encouraging cartoon mascot who guides children as they use the program.
Kids are presented with a blank canvas and a variety of drawing tools to help them be creative. Along with paintbrush, shapes and text, Tux Paint includes a "stamp" feature to add pre-drawn or photographic imagery to pictures, and a set of "magic tools" that provide filter effects (like blur, tint and waves) and interesting drawing tools (like train tracks, bubbles and grass).
Tux Paint includes a collection of "starter" images, both coloring-book style and photo-realistic, and a large collections of stamps are available as a separate download. Additional content can be added by parents and teachers, or downloaded from 3rd parties.
Tux Paint is available for Windows, macOS, Android, Linux, Haiku, and other operating systems.
🍥️ Debian :
A paint program for young children
Tux Paint is meant to be a simple drawing program for young children. It is not meant as a general-purpose drawing tool. It IS meant to be fun and easy to use. Sound effects and a cartoon character help let the user know what's going on, and keeps them entertained.
Tux Paint is extensible. Brushes and "rubber stamp" shapes can be dropped in and pulled out. For example, a teacher can drop in a collection of animal shapes and ask their students to draw an ecosystem. Each shape can have a sound which is played, and textual facts which are displayed, when the child selects the shape.
There is no direct access to the computer's underlying intricacies. The current image is kept when the program quits, and reappears when it is restarted. Saving images requires no need to create filenames or use the keyboard. Opening an image is done by selecting it from a collection of thumbnails.
🌍️ Wikipedia:
Tux Paint is a raster graphics editor (a program for creating and processing raster graphics) geared towards young children. The project was started in 2002 by Bill Kendrick who continues to maintain and improve it, with help from numerous volunteers. Tux Paint is seen by many as a free software alternative to Kid Pix, a similar proprietary educational software product.
History
Tux Paint was initially created for the Linux operating system, as there was no suitable drawing program for young children available for Linux at that time. It is written in the C programming language and uses various free and open source helper libraries, including the Simple DirectMedia Layer (SDL), and has since been made available for Microsoft Windows, Apple Mac OS X, BeOS and other platforms.
Selected milestone releases:
• 2002.06.16 (June 16, 2002) - Initial release (brushes, stamps, lines, eraser), two days after coding started
• 2002.06.30 (June 30, 2002) - First Magic tools added (blur, blocks, negative)
• 2002.07.31 (July 31, 2002) - Localization support added
• 0.9.11 (June 17, 2003) - Right-to-left support, UTF-8 support in Text tool
• 0.9.14 (October 12, 2004) - Tux Paint Config. configuration tool released, Starter image support
• 0.9.16 (October 21, 2006) - Slideshow feature, animated and directional brushes
• 0.9.17 (July 1, 2007) - Arbitrary screen size and orientation support, SVG support, input method support
• 0.9.18 (November 21, 2007) - Magic Tools turned into plug-ins, Pango text rendering
Features
Tux Paint stands apart from typical graphics editing software (such as GIMP or Photoshop) that it was designed to be usable by children as young as 3 years of age. The user interface is meant to be intuitive, and utilizes icons, audible feedback and textual hints to help explain how the software works. The brightly colored interface, sound effects and cartoon mascot (Tux, the mascot of the Linux kernel) are meant to engage children.
Tux Paint's normal interface is split into five sections:
Toolbox, containing the various basic tools (see below) and application controls (undo, save, new, print)
Canvas, where the images are drawn and edited
Color palette, where colors can be chosen (when applicable to the current tool)
Selector, providing various selectable objects (e.g., brushes, fonts or sub-tools, depending on the current tool)
Information area, where instructions, tips and encouragement are provided
A simple slideshow feature allows previously saved images to be displayed as a basic flip-book animation or as a slide presentation.
Basic drawing tools
Like most popular graphics editing and composition tools, Tux Paint includes a paintbrush, an eraser, and tools to draw lines, polygonal shapes and text. Tux Paint provides multiple levels of undo and redo, allowing accidental or unwanted changes to be removed while editing a picture.
Files and printing
Tux Paint was designed in such a way that the user does not need to understand the underlying operating system or how to deal with files. The "Save" and "Open" commands were designed to mimic those of software for personal digital assistant devices, such as the Palm handheld. When one saves a picture in Tux Paint, they do not need to provide a file name or browse for where to place it. When one goes to open a previously saved picture, a collection of thumbnails of saved images is shown.
Similarly, printing is typically a 'no questions asked' process, as well.
Advanced drawing tools
Tux Paint includes a number of 'filters' and 'special effects' which can be applied to a drawing, such as blurring, fading, and making the picture look as though it was drawn in chalk on pavement. These are available through the 'Magic' tool in Tux Paint. Starting with version 0.9.18, Tux Paint's 'Magic' tools are built as plugins that are loaded at runtime and use a C API specifically for creating such tools.
A large collection of artwork and photographic imagery are also available (under a license allowing free redistribution), and may be placed inside drawings using Tux Paint's "Rubber Stamp" tool. Stamps can be in either raster (bitmap) format (in PNG format, supporting 24bpp and full alpha transparency), or as vector graphics (in SVG format) on many platforms Tux Paint supports. As of mid-2008, over 800 stamps are included in the stamps collection.
Parental and teacher controls
As features are added to Tux Paint, configuration options have been added that allow parents and teachers to disable features and alter the behavior to better suit their children's or students' needs, or to better integrate the software in their home or school computing environment. Typical options, such as enabling or disabling sound effects and full-screen mode are available. There are also options that help make Tux Paint suitable for younger or disabled children, such as displaying text using only uppercase letters or ignoring the distinction between buttons on the mouse.
Localization
Tux Paint has been translated into numerous languages, and has support for the display of text in languages that use non-Latin character sets, such as Japanese, Greek, or Telugu. As of June 2008, over 80 languages are supported. Correct support for complex languages requires Pango. Sound effects and descriptive sounds for stamp imagery can also be localized. Tux Paint includes its own form of input method support, allowing entry of non-Latin characters using the 'Text' tool. Japanese (Romanized Hiragana and Romanized Katakana), Korean (Hangul 2-bul) and Traditional Chinese are currently supported.
Community projects
Wikiversity has a project to create artwork for "Rubber Stamps" of human figures which turn Tux Paint into a storyboarding program for children to storyboard their movies.
Distribution
Tux Paint is included with the software that comes with the ASUS Eee PC. It is also a standard package in educationally oriented Linux distributions, such as Debian Jr. and Edubuntu, as an optional package in numerous other Linux distributions, as well as part of numerous educationally oriented Linux Live CDs. It is included in various software collections for Windows (such as GNUWin II and Open Source Software CD), as well as in portable software collections for Windows, since it can be run as a stand-alone application (without needing to be installed system-wide). Tux Paint is also available as an activity within the free and open source educational suite GCompris.
Un logiciel de dessin pour enfants, par Bill Kendrick (New Breed Software) & son équipe.
Tux Paint est un logiciel de dessin libre et multi-plateforme destiné aux enfants de 3 à 12 ans comprenant des outils classiques (crayon, pinceau, ...) mais aussi toutes sortes de tampons qu'ils pourront ensuite colorier. Il combine une interface facile à utiliser, des effets sonores amusants et une mascotte de dessin animé pour les guider dans son utilisation.
Tux Paint est un programme de dessin primé et gratuit pour les enfants âgés de 3 à 12 ans (par exemple, préscolaire et K-6).
Tux Paint est utilisé dans les écoles du monde entier en tant qu'activité de dessin informatique. Il combine une interface facile à utiliser, des effets sonores amusants et une mascotte de dessin animé encourageante qui guide les enfants lorsqu'ils utilisent le programme.
Les enfants démarrent avec un tableau blanc et une variété d'outils de dessin pour les aider à être créatifs. Outre le pinceau, les formes et le texte, Tux Paint comprend une fonction "tampon" qui permet d'ajouter des images pré-dessinées ou photographiques aux images, ainsi qu'un ensemble d'"outils magiques" qui offrent des effets de filtre (comme le flou, la teinte et les vagues) et des outils de dessin intéressants (comme des rails de train, des bulles et de l'herbe).
Tux Paint comprend une collection d'images de départ, à la fois de style livre de coloriage et photo-réaliste, et une large collection de tampons est disponible en téléchargement séparé. Des contenus supplémentaires peuvent être ajoutés par les parents et les enseignants, ou téléchargés à partir de tierces parties.
Tux Paint est disponible pour Windows, macOS, Android, Linux, Haiku et d'autres systèmes d'exploitation.
🍥️ Debian :
Un programme de dessin pour les jeunes enfants
Le but de Tux Paint est de proposer un programme de dessin facile d'accès pour les jeunes enfants. Il n'est pas sensé être un outil de dessin conçu pour un usage général. Il est plutôt fait pour être amusant et facile d'emploi. Les effets sonores et un personnage aident l'utilisateur à comprendre ce qu'il se passe et le divertissent.
Tux Paint est extensible. Des formes de pinceaux et des motifs peuvent être ajoutés et retirés. Par exemple, un professeur peut ajouter une collection de motifs d'animaux et demander à ses élèves de dessiner un écosystème. Chaque motif peut avoir un son qui est joué et des textes qui s'affichent quand l'enfant le sélectionne.
Il n'y a aucun accès direct à la complexité sous-jacente de l'ordinateur. L'image courante est conservée quand on quitte le programme et réapparaît quand il est relancé. La sauvegarde des images ne requière pas de nom de fichier ni l'utilisation du clavier. L'ouverture d'une image se fait en la sélectionnant dans une collection de vignettes.

Installation (méthode alternative) à partir du binaire au format Flatpak :
• (🧪️not_tested) Un binaire au format Flatpak est disponible. Si vous avez déjà installé le support de Flatpak, inutile de lire les paragraphes ci-après, téléchargez le livrable au format “.flatpak” ou cliquez sur le bouton "INSTALL" de la page du jeu sur le site Flathub, ce qui télécharge un fichier de type "com.nom.flatpakref". Cliquez sur ce fichier, gnome-software (aka "Logiciels") se lance, cliquez sur le bouton "Installer" de son interface. Un raccourci du jeu sera installé dans le menu des applications de votre gestionnaire de fenêtre (section "Jeux").
▸ Installation du support du format Flatpak sur votre distribution :
• Installez : flatpak qt5-base gnome-software
• Redémarrez votre PC (nécessaire).
📄️ Installation à partir du source du jeu :
• (🧪️not_tested) Source non testé.
🚀️ LANCEMENT DE L'INTERFACE :
▸ Classique :
• Si vous l'avez installé à partir d'un paquet, ou l'avez compilé puis installé dans les répertoires système : Alt F2 puis saisissez : tuxpaint
💡 Nota : D'autres (nombreuses) commandes sont disponibles. Pour les voir, lancez en console : $ tuxpaint -h
🕵️ Test (0.9.20b):
Bien adapté pour nos chères têtes blondes.
Les sons apporte un + ludique et éducatif.
Très bien.
🕵️ Test (✔ v. 0.9.29-1) par goupildb (config. : Manjaro 64-bit) :
Le : 18 mai 2023
⏱️ Durée du test : 5 minutes.
Le jeu étant en dépôts, il s'installe facilement et rapidement.
👎️ Par contre par défaut il se lance en plein écran (personnellement je n'aime pas, si çà plante c'est plus gênant à récupérer). J'ai tenté de le lancer en console via : $ tuxpaint --windowed --800x600
Mais ça ne fonctionne pas, aucun message affiché en dehors de messages liés à des polices TTF.
Le reste semble bien fonctionner.
Les messages sonores sont aussi très sympas.
• 🕹️ Conclusion :
Un petit bug à corriger. Le reste est bien-sûr excellent.
👏️ ❤️ Un grand bravo et merci (notamment pour la version Linux !) à ses auteurs !
