🕶️ A view of its user interface (v. 3.0.3, dark theme, on my Linux PC, in French) with several tabs open showing different screenshots of Linux games. The active tab is open on a screenshot of the "Gameplay Football" game. I chose this image because it allows me to illustrate the use of the “Motion Blur” filter and because I'm not good enough at drawing to show my work :). Nevertheless, I tested this tool and found it to be both simple and powerful. Excellent. On the top right are the image layers (only one for now) and below that is the history (only one: “Open an image”), both simple and practical. On the left are the drawing tools, and at the bottom are the color palette, image characteristics, and zoom. At the top, in the title bar, are the edit menus and menus. 📚️ Pinta is a lightweight, libre & multi-platform bitmap image editor inspired by Paint.NET, allowing you to draw and manipulate images in a simple but powerful way. It offers the classic drawing tools (freehand drawing, lines, rectangles, ellipses, ...), adjustment and effect tools (35 tools), a complete history (allowing you to go back in time), layer support (to separate and group elements of your image) and a flexible workspace (fixed and/or floating windows).

Super Mario Bros. X - (TheXTech v1.3.6) New Super Mario Bros. X
Super Mario Bros. X Gameplay - Airship Attack (Super Mario ReInvent v1.1 (Build))
🕶️ A side view of the demo delivered with the engine (called Adventure of Demo, X-Tech engine version 1.3.4, tested on my Linux PC). It's a Mario-like game, but with its own original content, and the whole thing is really neat. There are cakes to collect on and under the platform. 📚️ TheXTech is a libre and multi-platform engine (and game), allowing the creation of games similar to Super Mario Bros. It is a faithful rewriting (but in C++, and multi-platform) of the SMBX engine, a Super Mario Bros engine written by fans (in VB6, only for Windows). TheXTech will remain the "vanilla" version (the equivalent of Chocolate Doom for Doom), with gameplay faithful to SMBX, while the PGE engine (from the same authors) is an improved version (the equivalent of GZDoom for Doom). TheXTech comes with a very impressive demo, allowing you to play Super Mario Bros, in solo or multiplayer, with many levels, in windowed or full screen, with the keyboard or the gamepad. Excellent!

🕶️ A bird's eye view of a station where several suburban or freight trains are approaching or parked, overlooked by a footbridge and a bridge. Near the station a road network and suburban dwellings. The graphics are a bit pixelated considering the age of the game and the close-up. 📚️ Open Transport Tycoon is a libre, multi-platform, single-player / multi-player (up to 255) business simulation game, based and compatible (but autonomous & enhanced) with the Transport Tycoon Deluxe game (1994). The player builds his transport network (trucks, buses, trains, planes & ships) to transport passengers and freight, with the goal of being as profitable as possible. The dividends received by these transports can be reinvested in the extension of the network or the acquisition of vehicles. A mature and actively maintained project.

🕶️ A side view in which Tux is standing on a pipe waiting for one of Nolok's henchmen to jump over him (or on top of him to crush him), and other henchmen are on the right of the screen, all on a platform overlooking the water, with a mountainous background. 📚️ SuperTux is a libre and multi-platform jump 'n run featuring Tux the penguin, mainly on the pack ice, but also in the woods or caves. In story mode Tux travels on many places to try to rescue Penny, his beloved, kidnapped by Nolok, his sworn enemy, seconded by his minions. Many other maps designed by its users via the integrated editor and downloadable from the interface can be played independently. It is a very neat game with many accessories, bonuses, and enemies, different soundtracks and supporting recent equipment. Excellent!
