Source code
Currently GCompris offers more than 100 activities, and more are being developed. GCompris is free software, it means that you can use it as you wish, adapt it to your own needs, improve it, and, most importantly, share it with everyone. There are many simple activities dedicated to children on any platforms, desktops, web and tablets. When they exist, they are hard to find and request the teacher or parent to manage a lot of independant small tools. GCompris does not accept any contribution made using AI to generate code. Please respect our choice and don't create MR with AI generated code in it.
