Learning is Childsplay (Linux Journal)

Linux Journal reviews Childsplay. "After I finished my recent articles on Teaching with Tux and Learning with Gcompris, I received a couple of suggestions from readers that I take a look at Childsplay. I spent some time looking at Childsplay and if you have small children, I think you should too. As soon as I started the program, it started to play it's theme song and my 18 month old son came running, and he still comes running every time he hears that music. For most parents and educators, my review of this program could end right here, but I suspect that I should probably write a bit more."

Learning is Childsplay (Linux Journal)

I have been playing with my daughter to childsplay since she whas 2 years old. Nowadays she is 4, and we still love to play.

Gcompris seems to me to be more academical oriented. But I'll give a chance soon.

PD: I havent read your previous post about gcompris yet. But I will.

Thanks to lwn for this article, LJ for the review and of course, authors of Childsplay and gcompris.

Me and my kids are immensely enjoying the fun!!!

Python or Macromedia Flash?

Posted Jan 3, 2010 22:03 UTC (Sun) by eparis123 (guest, #59739) [Link]

I wonder whether coding something like this game is easier using python or using Macromedia Flash (giving aside the obvious licensing differences) ..
