tool
SYNOPSIS
etoys
etoys [ option... ]
DESCRIPTION
Squeak Etoys was inspired by LOGO, PARC-Smalltalk, Hypercard, and
starLOGO. It is a media-rich authoring environment with a simple
powerful scripted object model for many kinds of objects created by
end-users that runs on many platforms, and is free and open source. It
includes 2D and 3D graphics, images, text, particles, pres-entations,
web-pages, videos, sound and MIDI, etc. It includes the ability to
share desktops with other Etoy users in real-time, so many forms of
immersive mentoring and play can be done over the Internet.
The development of Squeak has been done inside the ViewPoint Research
Institute for several years. Since last years it’s being done in
collaboration with the OLPC project.
