Drawing => graphics/gimp || graphics/inkscape
Phote Editor => graphics/gimp
Photo viewer => graphics/gpicview
disk writing/burning => http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=1195 (that's what I prefer)
Video editing => multimedia/avidemux2
typing => games/klavaro
2d games => games/
C compille => cc (gcc)
 
Ditto what has been said above.


I'd like to add graphics/geeqie (currently-maintained fork of graphics/gqview-devel).


As for games, hmm, let's see...

Tetris:

Chess: games/gnuchess on games/xboard

Cards:

Pac-Man: games/xpacman

Digger-like gold/diamond seeker: games/cavezofphear

Shoot 'em ups:
  • games/xkobo: multiway scrolling in outerspace
  • games/xevil: you're in hell and you must kill everything to enhance your ranking (<- that one's very funny); it includes Alien's Xenomorphs, Yetis, MIT nerds and their killer robots, etc.

I would like to recommend brasero, but it's useless at the moment. It was working on FreeBSD once, but the FreeBSD Gnome Team could not fix it since a year.

I'm using online services for this.

avidemux2 is totally broken on FreeBSD. Similar situation as with brasero. It's better to use ffmpeg directly (unfortunately, it's a command line utility).

There are enough 2D games, really. Please open your eyes.

3D is only reasonably available with an NVidia graphics card. The only game I like, is Unreal Tournament. But you need to buy the CD for $1. It's really old, but it is fun!
