==== Description: ====
I apologize if this is a duplicate submission; an earlier attempt seems to
have gone off to outer space.
This program uses a single computer to poll 20 keyboards, giving all students
in a class simultaneous access to the machine. Each student has a designated
area of a common projected display in which to work. Activities include
real-time competition in addition, subtraction,
multiplication and division facts, touch keyboarding, and rudimentary word
processing. A further subroutine allows students to check the accuracy of
their math calculations when doing written work from a textbook or worksheet.
The source code is written in C. The binary is invoked by a shell script
from one of 9 directories, each of which maintains records for an entire
class. So the program can serve up to 9 classes.
Dependencies:
Runs under Gnu/Linux with modified 2.6.23 kernel. May be used with
unmodified kernel, but will not support more than 15 keyboards.
svgalib-1.9.25
gcc 4.1.2, GNU Make 3.81, and (possibly) vgalib-devel-1.9.25 for compilation
and installation.
At this time (28 Aug 08) there is no configuration file, but a hand written
Makefile with make, make install, and make uninstall sems to work tolerably
well.
==== Other Software Required: ====
gcc
Gnu Make
svgalib-1.9.25
svgalib-devel-1.9.25
ref: svgalib.org
Looks like maybe a problem with svga licensing; I am working on an
alternative that uses ncurses instead of SVGA, but it is less satisfactory in
some ways.
==== Other Comments: ====
I assume a little common sense with regard to license headers; this program
has a gazillion little files. I think I have covered the important ones.
