Improve 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.
