GvSIG-Educational-Games GSoC 2016
Project
Add tests and educational games support to gvSIG Educa.
Details
The main idea behind this project is to develop plugins which allows to create/play tests and 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, throw the scripting module of the gvSIG desktop 2.x branch.
The developed tools will be used in geography and maps learning.

GIS experience as a user
I’ve been working since February of 2014 at the Geomatics Department of the National Direction of Topography (MTOP, Uruguay) using gvSIG, QGIS and Kosmo daily.
GIS programming
I learnt about scripting in Jython on the 2014 edition of “Introduction to Scripting in gvSIG 2” MOOC offered by the gvSIG Association, through the gvSIG Training platform.
After the MOOC ended i’ve written scripts in the gvSIG 2.x branch to facilitate and improve some tasks at work.
