One step closer to version 1.0
GCompris is a high-quality educational suite, that aims to teach the kids who are aged 2-10 years. Recently its 0.9 version was released which has more than 140 activities. The goal of this project is to create a Bitmap drawing activity and an Animation activity for GCompris to create kids interest in designing, drawing, and graphical animations. This will help GCompris to move one step closer to version 1.0.
Mentors: Timothée Giet and Johnny Jazeix
Project Goals
- Creating a bitmap drawing activity to help kids learn about various graphical tools and creating beautiful arts.
- Extending drawing activity to enable kids to create animation with many paint frames.
Work Report
Community Bonding Period
During Community Bonding period, I started with introducing myself to the community. I have previously worked with KDE during Season of KDE and I am an active contributor at GCompris, this helped me to set up the working environment and building the project quickly. My project aims at creating graphical activities and the work on Bitmap drawing activity was started in previous GSoC. I discussed the current state of this activity and changes to be made in the present code with my mentors. Previously in the GTK+ version of this activity, we used to call tuxPaint directly. In our own version of this activity, we have decided to name it "Drawing". For the UI, we have finalized to make a foldable panel-based(demo) UI to provide as much as possible space to draw on. I am reading the Qt Canvas and context2D documentation, experimenting with the current code and consulting with my mentors for the optimum approach to implement the proposed features.
