About Stencyl
Stencyl is a free program for creating flash-based games (or even games for Apple on Android devices as of the latest version) on your Mac or Windows computer. Using Stencyl you can create a fairly complex game even if you don't have any coding skills at all. That is possible because Stencyl uses a drag and drop interface to enable game creation. Stencyl provides a huge selection of characters, settings, and elements to add to each scene of your games. To create and direct the actions within your games Stencyl gives you a block-snapping interface to construct actions and sequences. The block-snapping interface will look familiar to people who have used Scratch or Android App Inventor.

Build the PaintPot app
Build a Paint app that lets you draw lines and circles on any picture, including one you take with the camera. You'll learn about Canvases, reacting to the user's touch, and working with color and background properties.
Please forgive this student from being tardy. We will both work harder in the future to prevent this from happening.
