GCompris interface

GCompris is a software suite for education Aimed at the youngest of the house, specifically for children between 2 and 10 years of age. It was originally written in C and Python by Bruno Coudoin in 2000. It has now been rewritten in C ++ and QML after 17 years of constant development. The Qt libraries are sudo for the graphic aspect instead of GTK + as it was used at the beginning, therefore it has not only evolved in the functional, but also in terms of its design. What has never changed is their commitment to open source, being licensed under the GNU GPL, and neither is their pursuit of education.

It is currently available for various platforms, such as GNU / Linux, and also for macOS and recently for Windows. Versions for mobile platforms such as Android and iOS have even been implemented so that the little ones in the house can enjoy it on mobile devices. And the languages ​​will not be a problem, since in its beginning it was created with support for French, but today it has been translated into more than 50 languages, including Spanish.
