| 3 | + | ## Description | |
| 4 | + | ||
| 5 | + | TappyTux is a children's educational games suite. TappyTux originally started as a childrens typing tutor, but it has evolved a modular architecture which allows many types of educational games to be played on the same engine. It has been highly optimized for use on remote displays. | |
| 6 | + | ||
| 7 | + | The game is Free Software, and all the artwork and sound are under GPL compatible creative-commons licenses. | |
| 8 | + | ||
| 9 | + | It is fun and addictive, and although it is meant for children, many adults have told me they Love it too. Version 2 takes it to the next level however, the interface and game code had a massive overhaul, sound and music support was improved and the game was modularised to allow many different game types to be played on the same engine. | |
| 10 | + | ||
| 11 | + | The current version ships with two modules, tappywords (a typing tutor) and tappymath (an algebra game). Writing new modules is really easy so even a beginner programmer could add more. | |
| 12 | + | ||
| 13 | + | The game is designed to work well in a thin-client lab, and as of this release, is based on GTK2, improving not just the look and feel but also the internationalisation support. | |
