TuxPaint for Nokia 770 2006 edition, released
My children really missed it, so after receiving no answer from the 2005 port author, I decided to go my own way.
Update (2007)
Tuxpaint is now available for both N800 and N770 in the maemo official extra repository (see the end of this post)
Port status
Program is working, but non yet hildonized.
Bugs
When the user press the hardware Home button, TuxPaint continues to run in the background and the user must kill it through a terminal with
killall -9 tuxpaint
or reset the device.
I’ve tried unsuccessfully different approachs (libosso), if you know how to solve this, please let me know.
Text tools don’t work.
Download

Hello, thank you for porting tuxpaint to Os2006 version. I have however a problem with this. Tuxpaint do not start at all. When trying to launch from command line it gives an error message: “error while loading shared libraries: libSDL_ttf-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory”
Any ideas how to overcome this?

This is great. I would like to get rid of the prompt line at the bottom of the screen to maximize the sketching area. Also I would like the pictures to be saved to the memory card. I can’t get the pictures off the Nokia unless they are on the memory card.
It’s a lot of fun though. If any one is very serious about sketching on the Nokia770 then they should also check out “Horizon”

@ Antti:
libsdl ttf are missing in your installation, they should be installed by default.
deb http://repository.maemo.org mistral free
Put this line into /etc/apt/sources.list, run apt-get update, then
run apt-get install libsdl-ttf2.0-0, but you know that, I’m sure

@ Tom Cushwa:
I will look into the config file to see if this is configurable.
The images are already saved in the memory card: /media/mmc1/tuxpaint
About horizon: i tried it in the 2005OS and it was too slow to be useful. Is it now faster on the 2006 OS?

Any chance of tweaking this to work on a Nokia N800 (OS2007)? Thanks.

Tuxpaint OS2007 already works perfectly on N800: most of OS2006 packages works without modifications on N800.
