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.

Bambam is a simple baby keyboard masher application that locks
the keyboard and mouse and instead displays bright colors,
pictures, and sounds.
Note: for safety it is recommended to run the game in a dedicated login
session, rather than as an application in your regular session, especially
when leaving your child unattended with the game. Look for session type BamBam
in your display manager login screen.

Stellarium renders 3D photo-realistic skies in real-time. With Stellarium, you
really see what you can see with your eyes, binoculars or a small telescope.
Some features:
- default star catalogue with over 600 thousand stars,
- information about the brightest stars (spectral type, distance, etc.),
- downloadable star catalogue extensions, for up to 210 million stars,
- all New General Catalogue (NGC) objects,
- images of almost all Messier objects and the Milky Way,
- real time positions of the planets and their satellites,
- 13 different cultures with their constellations,
- artistic illustrations of the 88 Western constellations,
- very realistic atmosphere, sunrise and sunset,
- 7 panoramic landscapes (more can be made or downloaded from the website),
- scripting with ECMAScript,
- plug-in support: Stellarium comes with 8 plug-ins by default, including:
- artificial satellites plug-in (updated from an on-line TLE database),
- ocular simulation plug-in (shows how objects look like in a given ocular),
- Solar System editor plug-in (imports comet and asteroid data from the MPC),
- telescope control plug-in (Meade LX200 and Celestron NexStar compatible).
Stellarium should not be used for very high accurate calculation or ephemerids
like eclipse predictions. However, it is the ideal program to prepare an
observation evening with naked eye, binocular, or small telescope.

This is the OpenGL-enabled XMakemol package. The images are rendered using
true 3D graphics primitives, and can be exported using the Xpm format;
red/blue stereo images can also be produced. The OpenGL package provides more
display options, along with better support for displaying vectors. Ellipses
can also be rendered.

KStars is a scientifically accurate desktop planetarium, visualising a
graphical simulation of the night sky from any location on Earth, at any date
and time.
The display includes 130,000 stars, 13,000 deep-sky objects, all 8 planets,
the Sun and Moon, and thousands of comets and asteroids. KStars addresses
students and amateur astronomers of all levels.
The database of known objects can be extended and updated from local or
remote databases, which is prepared for in a user-extendable interface.
KStars suggests observations of particular interest like conjunctions
with respect to the location of the user. And for user-selected targets it
proposes the ones that are best-observable.
The software may be used for planning experiments around the globe,
e.g. for remote controlled commercial services. But KStars also
features an INDI interface to control local telescopes and cameras.
Users with programming experience can script it via the KDE desktop bus.
