Project

Add tests and educational games support to gvSIG Educa.

Details

The main idea behind this project is to develop a plugin 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 programming

I learnt about scripting in Jython on the “Introduction to Scripting in gvSIG 2.1” MOOC offered by the gvSIG Association.
