Free education world software for linux

HELIO World project is a PHP class that generates world maps.

CarWorld is a small driving simulator/demo I use to test various things of interest. It was mostly developed when I was a student. Car World is released with the full source code under the GNU General Public License.

The rendering

The two top pictures represent an slightly older version (v0.072) but graphically similar of CarWorld as it was presented for my project. v0.072 includes an OpenGL based renderer allowing
file input and displaying of texture mapped models with interpolated surface normals, real time projected shadows (as seen in the dino lights example).
background object
on screen command line to modify visual and simulation parameters

The mechanics

based on classical mechanics
uses standard metrics (Newtons, meters, seconds...)
there are no constraints on the environment surface
variable length time increments and variable increment number means "CarWorld time" is not dependent on frame rate.
adjustable simulation specs include: metrics, mass, moment of inertia around rotation axis, suspension pre load, compression damping, rebound damping, engine torque output, air friction, surface friction.

Tile World is an emulation of the game "Chips Challenge". "Chips Challenge" was originally written for the Atari Lynx by Chuck Sommerville, and was later ported to MS Windows by Microsoft (among other ports).

Please note: Tile World is an emulation of the game engine(s) only. It does not come with the chips.dat file that contains the original level set. This file is copyrighted and cannot be freely distributed. The chips.dat file was originally part of the MS version of "Chips Challenge". If you have a copy of this version of the game, you can use that file to play the game in Tile World. If you do not have a copy of this file, however, you can still play Tile World with the many freely available level sets created by fans of the original game, including CCLP2.

"Chips Challenge" is a game made up of both intellectually engaging puzzles and situations demanding fast reflexes. As you might have guessed, it is a tile-based game. The object of each level is simply to get out -- i.e., to find and achieve the exit tile. This simple task, however, can sometimes be extremely challenging.

reciteword project is an education software to help people study English.
reciteword is education software developed using GTK 2 to help people study English and recite English words.
It has a very beautiful interface to make reciting words an interesing thing.
It can change skins, and comes with many sound events, including over 400 books for you to choose.

Enhancements:
- Update books.
- Usability improve on Fedora core 5

Robot World aims to be a distributed physical environment inhabited by programmable robots, spanning across countless computers on the internet in true peer-to-peer fashion.
Robot World components:
- Parser / compiler compiles robot programs into byte code, stored in a .xml file
- Inject - send a robot program to the world
- RobotWorld - the world simulation program
- dsm - the bytecode disassembler
- rowo.y - language grammar file
parser
Compile a robot. Creates an .xml file from a .r file
$ parser sample.r
dsm
Disassembles a robot .xml file.
$ dsm sample.xml
robotworld
Testbed. Receiving server for "inject" - see below.
$ robotworld
inject
Send robot to world. "robotworld" must be running.
$ inject sample.xml

World Domination is a Real Time Strategy game inspired by the board game Axis and Allies utilizing the Stratagus engine.
World Domination will emphasize strategy and not "see who can build the most units the fastest." Resources are not gathered like in other RTSs, rather they are distributed after a fixed interval of time based on how much land a player occupies.
Enhancements:
- Added support for AI.
- Fixed may bugs and desyncs so you should be able to finish a network game without it crashing.
- New Graphics.
- Some new Maps

Asymptopia Crossword Builder project is a math and text crossword builder for education.
Asymptopia Crossword Builder is a JavaScript education application. Through the GUI, you can automatically generate unlimited math crosswords (add/sub/mult/div/alg/frac) or enter/paste your own lists of key:hint pairs. It is educational, and keeps kids busy.
Enhancements:
- Source code is now available for download.
- The project license has changed to the GNU Public License (GPL).

Edubuntu is a version of the Ubuntu operating system suitable for classroom use. As an educator youll be able to set up a computer lab, or establish an online learning environment, in an hour or less -- then administer that environment without having to become a fully-fledged Linux geek.

Edubuntu is currently under development by the same development team that produces the wildly popular Ubuntu system. Edubuntu a customized version of Ubuntu.

Principal design goals of Edubuntu are centralized management of configuration, users, and processes, together with facilities for working collaboratively in a classroom setting. Equally important is the gathering together of the best available free software and digital materials for education.
