I proposed the author to make a non-game version of Deluxe, a sort of animated drawing paper. I know a certain young niece of mine who'd be fascinated for days on end by it. Imagine if you could just draw stuff on virtual paper that moved by itself, maybe the Box2D engine will allow for some "creature physics", so the kids can draw dogs and cats (and, most likely, fiersome dinosaurs) that would have their own movement patterns, a bit like the wheels of the car in the demo video of Deluxe (but without the wheels, obviously).
Yeah, that would be have a longer life than just a game (tough I am stuck at level 3 or 4 of the game but gimme some more time!)

That's an awesome idea. Those are the type of programs I love the best. I was fascinated for days with the "falling sand" game. Hey, we need that for the tablet too! Let us know if the crayon-physics guy ever responds to your idea Karel.
You've already got your answer: Sources are not (yet?) available. In any case, the developer is working on a Windows version first, with a promise to look into other operating systems. No promise of (free) sources has been given.
I liked the original version on my Windows tablet as well.

Microsoft Research actually released a very similar program back in 2004. I played around with it on a Fujitsu P1510D Tablet PC (Win XP Tablet Ed). Very very entertaining http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en
but gimme some more time!)
