lib-gwt-svg-edu is a new project based on lib-gwt-svg. The goal is to write educational games for kids of age 4 to 6 years old. Technically, the games are completely open source and playable in a standards compliant browsers. The games are graphically appealing but with an actual educational value (not just cute or fun to play). Thus, the game concepts are developed in partnership with webkindergarten.net.
There are presently four games in the serie:
- Connect the dots
- Children must connect the dots in the correct order to make a picture appear
- Labyrinth
- Children must solve a randomly generated labyrinth displayed inside picture
- Push Push
- Children must reorder the tiles by pushing them in order to form an image
- Puzzle
- Children must reorder the pieces to solve the puzzle
The games have been tested on the following SVG-enabled web browsers:
| Browser | Version |
|---|---|
| Firefox | 3.x |
| Opera | 9.x or greater |
Note that the program does not work yet correctly on WebKit based browsers (Safari, Chrome) because of several limitations and bugs in these browsers.
The game can be played in english or in french.
The documentation currently available consists in:
a maven site with javadoc, source cross-reference, dependencies
Any free contribution (such as translation to other languages, new data files, new game ideas) is welcomed.
