The Comic Maker activity is being developed by Avallain Basic Skills, with input from publisher Teshkeel.

That's exactly the strategy which the party successfully followed in the local elections - maximising votes where they were needed. ,

pygame version

The pygame version is unfinished, but you can already experiment with the most features.

todo

  • show balloon tab only if balloon selected (.set_sensitive())
  • if resuming from journal when activity is running, activity is not loading correct document
  • selection lists with captions... (does it really make sense? should be self explantory enough)
  • help button above selection lists with popup window containing help text (help ok? window ok?)
  • do proper layout of the interface
  • add suport for selecting actors behind another actor
  • rewrite balloon render code
  • maybe toolbar for selection modes
