keyboard mashing and doodling game for babies

Bambam is a simple baby keyboard (and gamepad) masher application that locks the keyboard and mouse and instead displays bright colors, pictures, and sounds. While OSX has great programs like AlphaBaby, the original author couldn't find anything for Linux and having wanted to learn Python for a while, Bambam was his excuse.

Usage

Before running this application, ensure you have the following installed:

• Python
• Pygame

Installation

First, see if your distribution has a bambam package already, for example:

sudo apt install bambam

1. Download the bambam-0.7.zip or bambam-0.7.tar.gz file.
2. Unzip bambam-0.7.zip or "tar zxvf bambam-0.7.tar.gz" to create the bambam-0.7 directory.
3. Move into the 'bambam-0.7' directory

cd bambam-0.7

1. Execute

python bambam.py
