Splosh is a very easy to use painting application for young children and was originally developed specifically for education. All the tools and colours are easily accessible. We believe Splosh has the best user interface currently available for this type of application.
Features in the Windows version:
- Works on Windows XP and Windows Vista. Splosh will work on Windows 7, but requires Aero to be disabled.
- Tools include; brush, spray, fill & rubber
- Easy drawing of circles, rectangles, triangles and lines
- Text can be placed anywhere, at any size and colour
- The grid lock feature extends Splosh, allowing children to explore patterns, shapes and colours
- Configurable toolbar
- Imports a wide variety of picture formats including Windows meta files
- Pictures are saved as standard Windows bitmap files
- Pictures can be copied to and pasted from the clipboard
Features in the Macintosh version
- Different brushes include; solid brush, spray and a range of 'speckled' effects
- All brushes paint with smooth outlines
- Brushes can be dynamically resized while painting
- The fill tool will fill an area while cleverly compensating for changes in colour and tone
- Easy drawing of circles, rectangles, lines and curves
- Create new palettes by mixing colours just like you would with real paint
- The pipette tool allows you to 'pick up' colours from the canvas
- Multiple undo allows you to step back through your painting
- Pictures are saved as standard Macintosh PICT files
