Memorize Activity - Sugar OS

Today I'm playing the Memorize activity on the Sugar operating system.

I didn't understand this game when I first played it, but after that I soon learnt how to play. To play the game, you have to click one of the number '1' on the top and then click one of the number '2' at the bottom. The number 1's have maths problems and the number 2's have the answers.

This game is very fun because it's confusing and makes you think a lot. You can change what's hidden behind the cards. Some of the additional changes are addition, letters and sounds. You can also change the amount of cards on the screen. There are 4x4, 5x5 and 6x6 options. 6x6 is the hardest and 4x4 is the easiest.

Here is a screen shot of the memorize activity.



I rule !!! =D

Physics Activity

During our lesson today, I was testing the functions of the Physics activity in the Sugar Operating System. This activity is very creative and you are able to do many things with it such as creating a fun game where you and your friends can play.

I really enjoyed this activity because I could create so much games with the different functions. Some of the functions are: move, grab, drag, draw, place, motor, pin, joint, play and pause objects if you don't want the objects to move.

I hope many other users who use this operating system can find this activity fun and play games with their friends.

Here is an example of myself playing with Physics.

Sugar OS

My first impression of the Sugar operating system was that it was very simple and easy to use. It’s a bit slow but because it’s such a small subnetbook, it wouldn’t have much speed. Many features in this operating system are fun and may help children learn many things.

This operating system is different from the other ones which are official but it still good features. The system is a bit difficult to navigate for young children but once they get the hang of it, it should be a breeze.

Although the Sugar operating system is good, it only has a simple layout which is created for children to use.
