bambam is a keyboard and mouse game for babies written in Python. Pressing letter keys prints them in random locations and colours. Pressing any other key draws little pictures in random locations. Dragging the mouse while the mouse button is pressed draws in randomly changing colours. The screen is cleared at random.

NOTES
To quit, type quit in the game.

To turn the sound off and on, type mute and unmute, respectively, in the game.

bambam loads images (GIF, JPEG, PNG and TIFF files) and sounds (WAV and OGG files) from the following directories:

•   the data directory distributed with the game,

•   $XDG_DATA_HOME (usually ~/.local/share/bambam/data)

When scanning directories for files, bambam does follow symbolic links and descend directories. This makes is easy to have bambam use files located elsewhere.

Be aware that bambam does not block virtual terminal switching (e.g. CTRL+ALT+F1). See the example 50-dont-vt-switch.conf file if you would like to block that.
