== Plans for improving Paint ==
=== Add brushes - stamp presets ===
We aim the children to make their own brushes via the stamp tool, so we don't limit creation to a set of presets. But a few general stamps can be a good thing to start painting like charcoal, etc. They need to be selected with care.
=== Ability to store and share stamps ===
Currently the child can make her own stamp, but it is lost once another one is made.
The child would like to store a stamp for later usage. Furthermore, she would also like to share her creation with others, aiming collaboration.
=== Make stamps rotate with the mouse direction ===
This would be an option for stamps. The child can activate "follow mouse direction", then the stamp is printed in the canvas with a rotation applied, following the path of the mouse. Maybe make a cache of eight rotations of the pixel buffer. The child can use this to paint a railroad tracks, for example.
=== Improve coloring ===
Coloring is very important in this activity. We need to discuss color selection, and add the ability to go to a color previously used (color history).
=== Resize selection via drag & drop ===
Currently the resize is made changing numbers in input labels. Resize via drag & drop is a more conventional and intuitive way to do it.
== Stamp tool for Paint activity ==

To get my hands on Sugar, I took the task of adding a stamp tool to the Paint activity. [[User:Godiard|Gonzalo Odiard]] was kind enough to guide me in the process.
