Project
Title: Educational games add-on for gvSIG Batoví/Educa.
Student: Carlos I. Colombana
Mentors: Nadia Chaer, Francisco Puga.
Details
The main idea behind this project is to develop an add-on which allows to create/play educational games. Also generate documentation specially oriented to users without any programming knowledge.
The code will be mainly developed in Jython, an implementation of the Python programming language written in Java, through the scripting module of the gvSIG desktop 2.x branch.
The developed tools will be used in geography and maps learning.
