Description: Sugar wrapper around the Squeak Etoys programming language
|
26 | |
Sugar is a graphical user interface aimed at children.
|
|
26 |
Sugar is a desktop environment. It is conceived as a platform upon
|
|
27 |
which children learn with Sugar Activities. The platform provides
|
|
28 |
mechanisms for collaboration, reflection, and exploration. Sugar
|
|
29 |
Activities cover a broad range of applications: browsing, drawing,
|
|
30 |
composing, writing, programming, etc.

Originating as integral part of the OLPC "XO" a.k.a. the $100 laptop,
|
29 | |
Sugar has since grown into a more widely usable low-ressource desktop
|
30 | |
environment for kids.
|

Squeak Etoys was inspired by LOGO, PARC-Smalltalk, Hypercard, and
|
|
33 |
starLOGO. It is a media-rich authoring environment with a simple,
|
|
34 |
powerful scripted object model for many kinds of objects created by
|
|
35 |
end-users. It includes 2D and 3D graphics, images, text, particles,
|
|
36 |
presentations, web-pages, videos, sound and MIDI, etc. It includes the
|
|
37 |
ability to share desktops with other Etoy users in real-time, so many
|
|
38 |
forms of immersive mentoring and play can be done over the Internet.
