Library of code shared between tuxmath and tuxtype.
An educational math tutorial game starring Tux, the Linux Penguin.
Based on the classic arcade game "Missile Command," Tux must defend his cities. In this case, though, he must do it by solving math problems. Tux Math offers fun math drill intended for children ~4-10 years of age. It begins with simple number typing for kids just learning the keyboard, and advances through addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Negative numbers, "missing number" questions (e.g. "2 + ? = 8"), and questions with multiple operators are supported.
Starting with the 1.7 series, Tux Math includes "Factoroids", a factoring video game patterned after the arcade classic "Asteroids".
Tux Math uses GNU gettext for internationalization and includes a large number of translations.
For Teachers: Teachers will find the new Tuxtyping to be a more moldable tool they can use in there classrooms. It is easier now (and will become even easier) to group the types of exercises, words and characters into a lesson!
For Parents: Your kids will play for more than minutes now and learning all the time! Tuxtyping has lots of new toys to play with for them! (But don't let me catch you playing after the kids go to bed!)
For Kids: Tux is challenged with the task of protecting 9 cities! More challenging game play in all the games!
This is the testbed for use of the build service to build RPM packages for multiple distributions for tuxmath and tuxtype. The packages available in this project are "preview" builds leading up to the next general release. Official released versions of tuxmath and tuxtype will be in the Education project.
Tuxmath is an educational computer game intended for children ages 4-10. It stars Tux, the Linux penguin, who defends his fellow penguins by answering math questions.
Tux Typing is a typing tutor video game starring Tux, the Linux penguin. It includes arcade-style activities for typing of individual words, as well as phrase typing practice with display of typing speed and accuracy data. It is intended for elementary school-age children, but is fun for all ages.
