You think of an animal, and this package tries to guess it... when it's wrong, you teach it about your animal.

To be more flexible and help educational aspect this game does not contain an initial database. This also allows it to be used for non animals like guessing of tools or locations.

Atomix is an educational game designed for GNOME in which one has to build molecules, ranging from simple inorganic ones to some extremely complex organic ones, out of separate atoms.

The first levels can be rather easy, but added complexity always comes with the next level, so that several minutes (or much longer than that) can be spent on each single level.

A TuxTyping egy gépírás okító játék a főszerepben Tux -szal, a Linux Pingvinnel. A játék célja, hogy Tux minél több halat egyen, melyek a képernyő tetejéről ugrándoznak le. Minden halra egy betű van írva. Ha a jó gombot nyomod, Tux bekapja a halat. A játék gyerekeknek készült könnyű gépeléstanulásra, de vannak magasabb szintjei is, amelyek még a tapasztalt gépelőknek is kihívást jelentenek.

A simple educational game that simulates bouncing balls in a window. Gravity, elasticity, and ability to collide can all be adjusted.

Young children enjoy watching the balls bounce around the screen and are fascinated by the program. This is an ideal program for teaching rudimentary mouse skills to very young children.
