Let's start a project
Okay, it's time to open Tupi first. Independent of the graphical environment in which you are working, if you already have the program installed on your computer, you should look in the section "Graphics" in your main application menu:
Fig #32. Opening Tupi from Ubuntu
Once open, you'll see a screen like this on your computer:
Fig #33. Home Screen
At this point, you have two options: Create a new project or open an existing one. As this is our first time, we will create a new project by clicking on the icon again:
Fig #34. Creating a new project
On the dialog box that appears, you will enter
basic information about the project: a file name, author's name,
the dimension we want to give our animation and the number of
frames per second (FPS) with which want to work initially.
For this example, we will simply fill the first two fields and
leave others with their default values:

Clicking the OK button, the workspace will be available to start our project. Our starting point is always the module Enlightenment and more specifically, the first frame of animation. Okay, we're ready to start drawing!
