They can now rotate and flip images and items. That's the only vector drawing activity (including proprietary windows software) that I know to be targeting kids. It's excellent, I moved my older son (10 years old) from gcompris to sodipodi without trouble, he knew all the concepts, just the buttons changed.</i> </ul> | GCompris 4.1 | updated | GCompris |
