TuxMath 2.0.2 released

David Bruce — Wed, 27 Apr 2011 17:21:24 -0000

A binary installer for Tuxmath-2.0.2 for win32 has been released, due to the 2.0.1 installer file not working. This release also fixes a bug causing crashes when the new "powerup" comet is created, present in 2.0.0 and 2.0.1., as well as a bug in Factoroids that prevented the asteroid numbers from being displayed.

Our apologies to those who have experienced problems from these bugs.

There is still a bug in the turn-based multiplayer game on Windows that prevents this activity from working - we hope to fix it soon.

- in Windows build, proper conversion of text files into Windows-friendly format.
- functioning Native Language Support (major bugfix)
- numerous updated or added translations.
All users of TuxMath should upgrade!

TuxMath 1.9.0 Released

David Bruce — Tue, 23 Nov 2010 19:13:55 -0000

TuxMath 1.9.0 features LAN multiplayer competition as well as much improved internationalization support. Most graphics now drawn with SVG for better appearance at any resolution.

TuxMath 1.7.0 - major upgrade

David Bruce — Tue, 23 Dec 2008 00:34:22 -0000

Tux Math 1.7.0 has been released, with major enhancements as a result of the 2008 Google Summer of Code. The current project home page is: http://www.tux4kids.com. Current downloads are available both on the above site and here at Sourceforge. Major new features include high-resolution fullscreen support at the native OS resolution, as well as a new video-game style factor review, "Factoroids".

TuxMath 1.6.1 - now building successfully on MacOSX!

David Bruce — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 11:25:04 -0000

TuxMath now builds and installs correctly on MacOSX with a simple "./configure; make; sudo make install" as long as you have the needed libs (see Release Notes). So, if you are a Mac user with a Unix background, you're all set. If you are a "normal" Mac user, unfortunately we don't yet have a simple binary package, but hopefully we soon will. TuxMath is being added to the excellent MacPorts project (www.macports.org), and when that is accomplished it will provide easy binary packages, even if you don't have MacPorts itself installed.

The Unix build also includes a command-line admin program for managing the new password-less login system for tracking progress of individual users. This is intended for schools that use a single "Student" login, rather than accounts for each student.

TuxMath 1.6.0 - Internationalization!

David Bruce — Tue, 18 Dec 2007 22:17:49 -0000

TuxMath 1.6.0 has been released, featuring native language support on Windows as well as Linux/Unix. Supported languages include French, Dutch, Norwegian Bokmal, Norwegian Nynorsk, and Czech (and new translations can be very easily added).

There is also a passwordless login in the Linux build for keeping track of individual students' progress in a classroom setting, as well as a command-line admin utility, "tuxmathadmin".

If you wish to contribute a translation, all you need to do is to create a .po file for your language based on the template file "po/tuxmath.pot" in the source tree. Email us at tuxmath-devel@lists.sourceforge.net for further info.

TuxMath 1.5.7 - "Gold Stars" and new menu graphics.

David Bruce — Tue, 30 Oct 2007 00:32:09 -0000

TuxMath 1.5.7 has been released, with a Windows installer and a tar.gz source archive posted here at SF.net. This release features a more polished menu system with more modern graphics, some bugfixes, and "gold stars" to automatically track successfully completed lessons. There is also a significant amount of work on the build system to support internationalization in the near future.

This is definitely the best TuxMath yet - please grab the files and have a look.

As mentioned previously, we need a MacOSX user to step forward to make current builds of TuxMath (and TuxType). The build process was worked out by Tim Holy for TuxMath 1.5, and should be easy enough to follow. If interested, email us at tuxmath-devel@lists.sourceforge.net.

TuxMath 1.5.6 - help system, menu enhancements

David Bruce — Sun, 14 Oct 2007 00:05:50 -0000

TuxMath 1.5.6 has been released, with further work to improve usability. TuxMath now has a brief "help" feature to show new players how to play the game. Other work includes improvement of the menu system, as well as ongoing underlying code cleanup. Complete source code and a Win32 binary installer are available at this site.

The project still is in need of someone to do current MacOSX builds (and similarly for Tux Typing).

Regards,

David Bruce

TuxMath 1.5.5 - High Score Table and more

David Bruce — Thu, 04 Oct 2007 14:54:38 -0000

TuxMath 1.5.5 has been released, featuring completion of the high score table and cleanup of the menu system. It also contains bugfixes for crashes occuring during menu navigation and while selecting a game, as well as ongoing internal code-cleanup.

A source tar.gz archive and an executable Windows installer have been posted here at Sourceforge, as well as at the project's home site at:

http://tux4kids.alioth.debian.org

(p.s. - we still need someone with access to a Mac to generate a current MacOSX build, as well as build TuxType for OSX - if interested, please email us at:

tuxmath-devel@sourceforge.net)

New versions of TuxMath and TuxType Now in Debian Unstable

David Bruce — Tue, 18 Sep 2007 10:29:36 -0000

For Debian users, TuxMath 1.5.4 is now in the Sid/Unstable branch, and TuxMath 1.5.3 has migrated into Testing. On the TuxType side, 1.5.15 was recently uploaded to Unstable.
(thanks to Holger Levsen, Debian maintainer for the TuxMath and TuxType packages).

If you use Debian or a Debian derivative (e.g. Ubuntu), you can use apt to install these packages from the Debian archives rather than building from the tar.gz files here.

Cheers,
David Bruce
