Kivy developement team wrote some example apps which nicely illustrate capabilities of Kivy: To install on Ubuntu (Source: http://kivy.org/docs/installation/installation-linux.html#using-software-packages ): sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kivy-team/kivy sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install python-kivy python-kivy-examples On Ubuntu, the examples are installed in subdirectories of '/usr/share/kivy-examples'. Out of these examples, there are three examples that are published on Play Store by Kivy devs. For comparison, here's how you can compare the same apps side-by-side on Android and Ubuntu: 1. Kivy Showcase On Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.kivy.showcase On Ubuntu: python /usr/share/kivy-examples/demo/showcase/main.py 2. Kivy Touchtracer On Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.kivy.touchtracer On Ubuntu: python /usr/share/kivy-examples/demo/touchtracer/main.py 3. Kivy Pictures On Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.kivy.pictures On Ubuntu: python /usr/share/kivy-examples/demo/pictures/main.py Download/instructions for other operating systems are at http://kivy.org/#download -- Amber Jain i.amber.j...@gmail.com http://amberj.devio.us/ _______________________________________________ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers
