Editing Programs which would work in Debian on a RaspberryPi

[EimGhey]

I am planning on making art mods as soon as I get the two new computers for my birthday... One is a Raspberry Pi and I am planing on using it for experimental art... Does anyone know what program I should download?

GIMP is pretty much the de-facto image editing program available on Linux, should be in the Debian repositories. The Raspberry Pi may be a little too weak for art if you're doing anything very large, however.

Gimp can edit Doom Wads?

[Caligari87]

No, for that you need SLADE which should run on Debian. However, SLADE only helps you arrange the resources (graphics, sounds, code, etc). To actually create sprites you need a drawing program like GIMP or something.

Never used Slade before.. Is it like Doom Builder which I used in my youth!

[Caligari87]

Slade has a map editor like DoomBuilder (although not quite as full-featured). It also allows organizing resources in a wad, which DoomBuilder never had. So: DoomBuilder is a map editor only. Slade is a mod lump editor and simple map editor combined.

SLADE will run on Debian yes, though I'm not sure about the Pi. I'd say more likely not.

[Caligari87]

I imagine it'll run (Raspbian is just a variant of Debian), but it probably needs to be recompiled.
