It is a suite of children's programs written in python, has a GPL license. My 3 year old grandson loves it and is learning to read with it. The maintainers say they<br>have been in touch with the folks at sugar labs, but that apparently the resource requirements for python and pygames is too much for the standard distribution. I thought if I got a large enough flash drive there might be way to add it.<br>

<div><br></div><div>Without looking into it in too much detail, my guess is that Childsplay will probably work just fine. It may be a little fiddly to get going, however. Pygame & python is what Sugar is built with. However, SDL (which is what pygame talks to) generally works much better on MS Windows than Linux. Therefore, if Childsplay uses some of Pygame's OpenGL features, then things may not live up to your expectations.</div>
