Kids Paint

A painting application for kids created with the awesome Godot Game Engine.

Originally created for my kids to learn how to use a computer mouse.

The main goal was to create a painting app which is fun to use and childproof.

Features

• 4 drawing tools: pencil, brush, bucket and airbrush
• 3 different tool sizes
• A complete 12 color palette
• Drawing sound effects
• Undo-redo functions
• Save function

Restrictions

To make the application childproof the following restrictions were introduced:

• The app can't be (accidentally) closed with the mouse
  • To save the image, change the settings or exit the app you have to use the keyboard
•  Right mouse button click or mouse wheel scrolling has no effect
• The canvas cannot be resized, there is no zooming or scrolling
• The available tools and the color palette are limited, the colors can't be customized

How to use

• Select a tool, a tool size and a color and start painting
• If you make a mistake (happy little accident) use the undo/redo buttons
• Press the ESC key to open the main menu where you can:
  • Create a new empty drawing
  • Save your drawing as PNG
  • Access the settings menu
  • Read the license informations
• Exit the application

Source code

The application is open-source, the code is hosted on GitHub.
