Requirements for Omnitux

Hi ! Thanks for your proposal. For now, there isn't anything concerning requirements for Omnitux.
How would you like to proceed ? What are your ideas ?
Which areas would you target ? Which tools would you use ? (maybe the wiki could be a good starting place ?)

Well, i think i will play a little with the program, see what it can do. I' ve already found the standard requirements' document from IEEE, so i will proceed with this in mind. Where can i find the code? At "https://omnitux.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/omnitux omnitux", or at "Files" , or at both places? And if i have any problems during the procedure, can i ask for your help?
Thanks in advance!!

Yes, you can find the code at both places you mentionned.
A third way is to download a full copy of the source code repository (including history of changes) on your computer with the command "svn co https://omnitux.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/omnitux omnitux" (more info on subversion is available at https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/sourceforge/wiki/Subversion ).
Please do not hesitate to ask for help if needed.

Hi! I'm moving on with the requirements and i'm doing well. I have a question, though. Omnitux is for kids, but kids of what age? How old has to be a child to be able to play and learn with it?

Hi. Indeed omnitux is mainly for kids, but not only. It is also suitable in its current form for adults with learning difficulties. Moreover, the next version (1.0, not yet released) will also feature a few 'harder' activities (for instance placing countries on European map, or matching flags and country names) : those activities may also be used by teenagers or adults (especially those living far away from Europe and non familiar with those countries). Generally, the software structure potentially allows to create activities 'targetted' primarly to adults. To answer your question, I believe the minimal age to use omnitux is about 3 years old because you have to be able to 'drag and drop' with the mouse which is not so easy for very young kids.

What kind of customization can a user do to the program? Is it only the one that is mentioned at the website of Omnitux (changing the image of the puzzle) or you can change other things too, like the music, ect?

The default activities are nearly entirely described in the XML files in the omnitux/data folder. Thus, any customization is possible, limited by what is implemented for the default activities. For instance it is possible to stop the music with the <music mode="off" /> tag (like in data/examples/music_instruments/music_instruments.xml). Yet it is not possible to change the music files being played. This will probably be implemented in the future using some similar xml tags.
