I’ve installed TuxPaint on the computers at a school where I volunteer, and it’s really excellent stuff! I especially appreciate its fullscreen mode, which prevents young children who are unfamiliar with computers from accidentally changing focus and confusing themselves.

Ticktock — It’s not exactly a built-in feature, even on the Mac. What I did was to just find the folder where TuxPaint was storing the images. It stores them in .png format in the current user’s application data. So I just converted my photo to png format and put it in that folder, and I was able to access it.

How did you get the program to work with a picture? I can’t figure that out. Perhaps that’s a feature that only works with Mac?

Thanks for that! My five year old will love this software — he, too, would go through a ream of paper at one sitting if I would let him. I’m also looking forward to getting Celestia for him. That will make his day!

I concur! My 6yr old has loved it since she was 3. It’s fun and amazing what she can do with it.
