       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.
