GCompris / I Have Understood
GCompris is a GNU package
GCompris is an educational game for children starting at 3.
It uses GTK and the GNOME Libraries (especially the GNOME canvas),
the libxml and gtk-pixbuf.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GCompris MOTIVATION
Big Issue:
Today Linux does not have a lot of useful educational tools for children.
When they exist, they are hard to find and request the teacher/parent to
manage a lot of independant small tools.
Big Goal:
Build an educational game suite all accessible from a single user interface.
GCompris provides a simple to use user interface that makes it easy to select
appropriate boards.
How:
GCompris is designed in a way that it is easy to add new boards to it.
Today a board is called with the root canvas of the main window, and then
the board is free to implement the game scheme it wants.
The status bar is a common facility provided to the board.
To make GCompris a powerful tool for all its users, the teachers,
the children but also the developers, GCompris implements a plugin system
where each board is an independant plugin. Then if the board requires it,
the data set for this board is defined in an XML file.
GCompris will provide a board editor to let teacher/educator easily add
boards to GCompris.
