Exercise

In order to help you practice in the GCompris framework, I propose you to make this little exercise.

Mandatory: GCompris development is done on a GNU/Linux distribution of your choice.

  • Install GNU/Linux on your computer.
  • Get the code through the Git version control system.
  • Compile GCompris.
  • Create a new activity using the supplied createit.sh script. Use you nick name as the activity name.
  • Compile GCompris again.
  • Run your activity with the runit.sh script (it is just the template for now).
  • Modify the activity to display an image, an ellipse, a rectangle and a line.
  • Test your activity by running runit.sh until you are happy with the result.
  • Use git to commit your changes locally.
  • Send me a patch for me to test it.
