Newest (January 2012) Gcompris is now on extras-devel.
GCompris is a high quality educational software suite comprising of numerous activities for children aged 2 to 10. Some of the activities are game orientated, but nonetheless still educational.
-- http://gcompris.net/

At least fresh installing works, let me know if there are problems with upgrading existing one.

Game play video: http://youtu.be/jxCzgEGO4f8

This version contains 124 activities (nothing dropped yet), some of them are not working on N900:

*Throwing ball: keyboard doesn't have two shifts

*Watering can and sweeping game: On touchscreen, moving mouse pointer is always dragging (i.e. mouse button is also down)
-> Game should accept dragging as moving

*Double clicking (at least in two games) is hard, and generally not used on touchscreen devices.

Let me know if there are more non-functional games (and what to do for them to keep them playable and fun)

If you get game crashing, start from terminal and try to reproduce it, then post logs:
Code:
/opt/gcompris/games/gcompris

Hi
I have updated gcompris on my n900 without succses so i have it reinstalled. Now gcopmpris starts and give me the message:
couldn't find or load the file boardicons/puzzles.svg
gcompris starts without icons. The folder boardicons ditn't exists, puzzles.svg exist in opt/gcompris/share/gcompris/boards/
Creating a symbolic link ditn't solve the problem.

I think old gcompris uses directory 'boardicons' and new 'boards'.

Check you have new version for gcompris and data installed
Code:
apt-cache policy gcompris gcompris-data
Both should be: Installed: 12.01-maemo4

Sorry to revive a year old thread...

I installed Gcomprid for my kids the other day and found that it conflicts with both osso-chess and libre-chess. The reason is the conflict between gnuchess and gnuchess-opt required by the respective packages. Aapo, you've released both Gcompris and libre-chess to the wild, is there a way to make them live together in harmony?

@pichlo, try the new version: http://maemo.org/packages/package_in.../12.11-maemo1/

Just upgraded to 12.11, still conflicts with both chess programs.
Gcompris depends on gnuchess-opt.
Both chess programs depend on gnuchess.
Perhaps Gcompris could depend on either gnuchess or gnuchess-opt?

New version from upstream (12.11) with 136 activities. I tried to fix gnuchess dependency, but made mistake.

-maemo2 is already built but waiting to the repository. It contains also fix for explore.py:545. And fix for three other games: braille_alphabets braille_lotto color_mix.

There are still some games which are not working, and some which are not tested on N900.

List of known issues:
*Falling words: can't write words with double letters (e.g. "less")

*Watering can and sweeping game: Currently game can't be played (expects mouse movement without dragging)

*Miner: can't be played, needs mouse wheel

Report more. I will then check what I can fix or if upstream is interested to fix or should they be dropped entirely from maemo-version.
