Kivy - Open-Source Framework for Multitouch Applications in python

Kivy is a powerful, open-source Python framework for building cross-platform applications with a natural user interface. It supports multitouch input, gestures, and a wide range of UI components, making it suitable for mobile apps, desktop apps, and even embedded devices. Kivy is widely used in projects that require interactive graphics, mobile-friendly interfaces, or custom touch-based applications. It runs on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS.


Installation:

pip install kivy
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Example usage:

from kivy.app import App
from kivy.uix.label import Label

class MyApp(App):
    def build(self):
        return Label(text="Hello, Kivy!")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    MyApp().run()
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

  2. Create an educational game for kids with interactive touch elements.
  3. Develop a drawing or sketching app that supports multitouch input.
