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.

Stellarium은 실시간으로 3D 사진처럼 사실적인 하늘을 렌더링합니다. Stellarium을 통해, 육안, 쌍안경 또는 작은 망원경으로 볼 수 있는것을 실제로 볼 수 있습니다.

일부 기능들:

  • 60만개 이상의 별을 포함하는 기본 별 카탈로그,
  • 가장 밝은 별에 대한 정보 (분광 유형, 거리 등),
  • 최대 2억1천만개 별에 대한, 다운로드 가능한 별 카탈로그 확장,
  • 모든 New General Catalogue (NGC) 객체,
  • 거의 모든 메시에 천체와 은하수 이미지,
  • 행성과 위성의 실시간 위치,
  • 13개의 다른 문화들과 그들의 별자리,
  • 서양의 88개의 별자리를 예술적으로 표현한 일러스트,
  • 매우 현실적인 분위기의, 일출과 일몰,
  • 7개의 파노라마 풍경 (더 많은 풍경을 만들거나 웹사이트에서 다운로드할 수 있음),
  • ECMAScript를 이용한 스크립팅,
  • 플러그인 지원: Stellarium은 기본적으로 아래 플러그인을 포함한 8개의 플러그인 제공:
  • 인공위성 플러그인 (온라인 TLE 데이터베이스에서 업데이트),
  • 시야 시뮬레이션 플러그인 (주어진 시야에서 물체가 어떻게 보이는지 보여줌),
  • 태양계 편집기 플러그인 (MPC에서 행성과 소행성 데이타를 가져옴),
  • 망원경 제어 플러그인 (Meade LX200과 Celestron NexStar 호환).

Stellarium은 매우 정확한 계산이나 일식 예측과 같은 천문력에 사용되서는 안됩니다. 하지만 육안, 쌍안경 또는 소형 망원경을 이용한 관찰의 밤을 준비하는데에는 이상적인 프로그램입니다.

XMakemol is a mouse-based program, written using the LessTif widget set, for viewing and manipulating atomic and other chemical systems. It reads XYZ input and renders atoms, bonds and hydrogen bonds.

Features include:

  • Animating multiple frame files
  • Interactive measurement of bond lengths, bond angles and torsion angles
  • Control over atom/bond sizes
  • Exporting to Xpm, Encapsulated PostScript and XYZ formats
  • Toggling the visibility of groups of atoms
  • Editing the positions of subsets of atoms

XMakemol은 원자 및 기타 화학 시스템을 보고 조작하기 위해, LessTif 위젯 세트를 사용해서 개발된, 마우스 기반 프로그램입니다. XYZ 입력을 읽어서 원자, 결합, 수소 결합을 렌더링합니다.

아래 기능들을 포함합니다.

  • 멀티 프레임 파일 애니메이션
  • 결합 길이, 결합 각도 및 비틀림 각도의 대화식 측정
  • 원자/결합 크기 제어
  • Xpm, 캡슐화된 PostScript 및 XYZ 형식으로 내보내기
  • 원자 그룹의 가시성 전환
  • 원자 하위 집합의 위치 편집

이 패키지는 OpenGL이 활성화된 XMakemol 패키지입니다. 이미지는 실제 3D 그래픽 기본 요소를 사용해서 렌더링되며 Xpm 형식을 사용해서 내보낼 수 있습니다; 빨강/파랑 스테레오 이미지도 생성할 수 있습니다. OpenGL 패키지는 벡터 표시에 대한 더 좋은 지원과 함께 더 많은 디스플레이 옵션을 제공합니다. 타원도 렌더링 할 수 있습니다.

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.

The package is enhanced by the following packages: kstars-data-extra-tycho2
