This guide describes how to use Steam Proton to play and run Windows games on your Linux computer. Some games may not work or may break because Steam Proton is still at a very early stage.

1. Activating Steam Proton for Linux:
Proton is integrated into the Steam Client with "Steam Play." To activate proton, go into your steam client and click on Steam in the upper right corner. Then click on settings to open a new window. From here, click on the Steam Play button at the bottom of the panel. Click "Enable Steam Play for Supported Titles."

Alternatively: Go to Steam > Settings > Steam Play and turn on the "Enable Steam Play for Supported Titles" option.

Valve has tested and fixed some Steam titles and you will now be able to play most of them. However, if you want to go further and play titles that even Valve hasn't tested, toggle the "Enable Steam Play for all titles" option.

2. Choose a version
You should use the Steam Proton version recommended by Steam: 3.7-8. This is the most stable version of Steam Proton at the moment.

3. Restart your Steam
After you have successfully activated Steam Proton, click "OK" and Steam will ask you to restart it for the changes to take effect. Restart it. Your computer will now play all of steam's whitelisted games seamlessly.

4. Launch Stardew Valley on Linux:
Before you can use Steam Proton, you must first download the Stardew Valley Windows game from Steam. When you download Stardew Valley for the first time, you will notice that the download size is slightly larger than the size of the game.
This happens because Steam will download your chosen Steam Proton version with this game as well. After the download is complete, simply click the "Play" button.

A modern Deluxe Paint tribute.This is not the greatest pixel paint package in the world, no. This is just a tribute.

A modern Deluxe Paint tribute built using our open source game engine, Gamecake.

It is a perfect tool for creating pixel art and animation.

Deluxe Paint is a well designed bitmap graphics editor from the 80s that ran on the Commodore Amiga.

To this day, we still find it the best package out there for its purpose and we have yet to find anything close to it in terms of usability and design. We have tried other pixel editors but still keep coming back to an old copy that we still use every now and then for our games.

However, as times goes by, we find an increasing need for an actual replacement that is not only up-to-date but more importantly, cross platform (Linux/Win/Raspi/Android/Mac). So here is our attempt at recreating our favourite paint package for today's generation of pixel artists.

It should be noted that this is currently in active development so will contain bugs.




Features:

• We don't have a file format - anything created on Swanky Paint can be opened in ANY art software
  
• Runs on Linux, Raspberry Pi, Android, Windows & Mac
  
• Deluxe Paint shortcuts
  
• Escher modes: Hexels, non-Euclidean, strange geometry
  
• Bloom shader options
  
• Full resolution background image for tracing and referencing
  
• Multiple layers support
  
• Simple animation frames
  
• Spritesheet support
  
• GIF and APNG import to frames
  
• Supports SVG, GIF, JPG, PNG and APNG import & export
  
• Supports Fun64 clipboard conversion to ASCII
  
• Dithering options for paletted and true colour images
  
• Wrap mode for tiling preview, edit anywhere to update the draw area
  
• Ultimate undo remembers your history forever
  
• Export your image history as a GIF
  
• Supports 15 popular colour palettes like Pico8, DawnBringer, C64, ZXSpectrum, NES, Gameboy, MSX, AppleII, EGA, Swanky32 & more
  
• Import custom palettes and presets
  
• Support for Lua scripting
  
• Support for UV mapping preview on to low poly 3D model

These are some of the features that are already included in the current version. We are still adding more during development.

Swanky Art, a new kind of pixel art community.

On International Amiga Day 2014, we released Swanky Art, a pixel art community based on daily challenges that restricts your palettes, dimensions and filters.


Our aim is to fully recreate the restrictions of the past, teaching attribute clash to a new and terrified generation.

“Although in the early alpha stage of release, Swanky Paint shows real promise. For fans of Deluxe Paint, it’s certainly worth trying out for its low cost and wide range of features.”
4/5 – MagPi Magazine issue 36

“Where Deluxe Paint had its pixels on show due to the low resolution of computing equipment at the time, though, Swanky Paint revels in it. Designed for retro ‘pixel-art’ projects, the software makes everything as easy as possible and includes a surprising level of polish for an early alpha release – including various effects designed to emulate the smoothing glow of a traditional CRT display.”
Gareth Halfacree

“Easy to use and very precise - Swanky Paint is the perfect introduction to pixel art!”
