TuxMath is an arcade game that helps kids practice their math facts. The main goal is to make it effective and fun!
TuxMath 1.9.0 is available for download as source tarballs and Win32 installer builds. TuxMath now features head-to-head play over a local network, suitable for school tournaments and similar competitions. As this is a new feature, some bugs may be present. The Windows build now has the libary support needed for proper display of non-Western text (the Linux version has had this for some time). Also, most images are now stored as SVG images for proper display at any resolution. In summary, release 1.9.0 is a significant upgrade that most users will want to get.
Download:
Windows(tested on 2000, XP, Vista): Executable installer for Windows 2000, XP, Vista (and probably other Windows versions).
Macintosh OS X : Alternatively, if you have MacPorts installed, the latest version of TuxMath can be installed by simply typing: sudo port install tuxmath
Ubuntu and other Debian-based Linux: For Ubuntu users or anyone who prefers "apt-get" over "aptitude", the command is: sudo apt-get install tuxmath
RPM-based Linux: The Tux4Kids applications are available in the standard repositories of all major (GNU)-Linux distributions, and can be installed using the package manager. For the latest versions, individual RPM packages for TuxMath and TuxType can be found by searching the OpenSUSE Build Service. 32-bit and 64-bit packages are available for all recent versions of Fedora, OpenSUSE, and Mandriva.
Source: Standard *.tar.gz "tarball" source archive, suitable for building using "./configure; make; sudo make install". IMPORTANT - now TuxMath requires that the t4k_common library be installed first (see below). See the README and INSTALL files for list of required libs.
t4k_common library: Standard *.tar.gz "tarball" source archive for the t4k_common library. This must be installed before building tuxmath-1.9.0 (or later) from source. The Windows binary already has t4k_common included. The t4k_common libary can be built with "./configure; make; sudo make install" like other standard packages. See README and INSTALL for details.
