GCompris

GCompris Prize winner activity suite–Home CVS sources in svn.gnome.org Bruno Coudoin see more templates or propose new

This is a suite of children's activities that has won a prize for educational software.

It is built around the Canvas widget from GTK and additional activities can be added using Python.

History

• 2008/03/17: Uploaded a fixed bundle for algebra_by, algebra_plus, algebra_minus activity that had missing images (tuxballoon.png). I overwrited the previous broken activity bundles.
• 2008/03/15: Made a full rebuild of all activities and the full bundle. It fixes the bugs #6672, #6692, #6484, #6363, #6657. The previous activities are available here. Now each activity uses it's own non sugar compliant icon. There is no more need to install gnuchess and gnucap your xo and GCompris will work even when you disable the sound in it.
• 2008/01/25: Uploaded a new tangram bundle that fixes the missing tool-flip.png image. Uploaded reversecount, read_colors, advanced_colors bundles, they had missing timer images.
• 2008/01/06: There is now a new build of all the activity bundles. There has been a major fix, now more activities should work. Some people have requested a full GCompris bundle instead of getting each activities independently. In order to keep it relatively small (it's 82MB), we kept only a minimal voice set for each locale. Note that this includes all the translation we have available.

How do I report a bug?

We are very interested in bug reports. Please report bugs by sending email to "bruno.coudoin@free.fr". (Developers, please file bugs in the OLPC tracking system.)

We are also interested in your suggestions for enhancements in GCompris. Community input and collaboration is vital to the success of OLPC, it's the same for GCompris. Thank you for your participation.

What if installation fails?

In the transition to the latest XO software release, some people have had trouble downloading and installing the GCompris packages. If installation through the Browse activity fails, try the following steps:

From the Terminal activity:

cd /home/olpc/Activities
wget http://gcompris.net/incoming/xo/sudoku.activity.xo
unzip sudoku.activity.xo

Restart Sugar by typing Ctrl+Alt+Erase

(Substitute your favorite GCompris activity for sudoku in the above example.)

If /home/olpc/Activities does not exist, you can create it:

mkdir /home/olpc/Activities

Installing with xo-get

There is an alternate installation process with the Xo-get utility.
