Another game that my daughter has played a little is http://www.pysycache.org/ (you move the mouse to uncover pictures). It's written using pygame (though the python code is quirky, when I looked at it, it used a mix of tabs and spaces and all the comments are in french. Though it is pretty hackable).
The 2.0 release looks like it has some improvements (I used 1.5). My daughter (just turned 4) also liked the thomas the tank engine website (google for it). It has some decent flash games, though recently her favorite thing is typing letters (in openoffice with big fonts). matt On 3/5/06, Michael Moore <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > If you use Linux, have a look at the Debian Jr. project; they've done a > > lot of work at aggregating material (games plus a whole lot more) fit > > for children: > > > > http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-jr/ > > > > If you have a Debian system, the packages are junior-*. > > > > You should be able to install Debian (or other variants of Linux) on a > > Mac without undue difficulty, and can even make it dual booting. :-) > > I use Linux, and would love everyone to run Linux (because > family/friend tech support would be easier for me), but I'd like to > throw some more support Nathan's way. > > Running another OS just to get a single program isn't that great of a > solution, especially if the rest of your apps don't also migrate well. > Even getting apps running on OSX via X11 isn't very satisfying. > > Nathan, I can probably help test builds and stuff.
