EdUGames would fall into the same category of games as Trivial
Pursuit, but the way it is played is a lot different. For one thing, we have
developed and patented a whole new metaphor for user interaction. No typing
is required anywhere in the game, and the game exploits all aspects of multimedia
to the fullest. Web page descriptions of each of the many games are available from
the Game Overview page.
EdUGames originally ran on the Mac. But we have rewritten it in
Java to run in any Java enabled browser over the Internet.
If you are on a Mac, you will need OS 10.3 or higher running Safari.
You can get the latest version of Java from Apple at:
http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/java/
As with just about everything else on the net, we are presently offering EdUGames
for free. It will always be free to schools and libraries, but we eventually
plan to make money by charging for home and corporate use. If you are interested, check out the
EdUGames Business
Plan.
EdUGames is really a unique Knowledge Based Game as we mentioned above, but the true
value of what we are doing is in the ability to create an ever increasing database
of material that eventually will address the Whole World's Knowledge Base.
We have created a unique way to code every Round so that a Teacher or Game Master
may have access to everything and create really challenging and appropriate Sets.
We have created a Java based Set Maker to assemble and modify the material for posting
back to the EdUGames server by Teachers and Game Masters.
You can read about all this and more in the
FAQ's.
We hope you have fun and register with us. You may even want to become an Author,
Game Master, or part of our Cyber Organization.
