Sugar is the core of the OLPC Human Interface. Its goal is to turn the Laptop into a fun, easy to use, social experience that promotes sharing and learning.

Sugar reinvents how computers can be used for education. Sugar promotes sharing, collaborative learning, and reflection. Through Sugar's clarity of design, children and their teachers have the opportunity to use computation on their own terms; they are free to reshape, reinvent, and reapply both software and content into powerful learning activities. Sugar is a community project; it is based on GNU/Linux, a free and open-source operating system.

Simple gstreamer plugin to use espeak by way of sound source.
It was developed to simplify espeak usage in Sugar Speak activity.

Olpcsound is a subset of the Csound sound and music synthesis system,
tailored specifically for XO platform.

This python package contains various resources and utility classes for making
games on the OLPC system. Specifically it enables using PyGame in the Sugar
environment.

The Analyze activity helps developers analyze their system. Along with
Log Viewer and Terminal, one of three activities that used to make up
the developer console.

The game is analogous to the arcade game Pong, however it takes place within
a three dimensional box with physical effects such as gravity.
Additionally, Bounce features an editor which allows children to create
their own version of the game.
Bounce was initially called 3dpong, and was written during the 2007 Boston
Game Jam where it took second prize.

The interface of Calculate provides the simplest functions directly, but it also supports more complicated math and variables. Basic plotting is possible as well!

Cartoon Builder allows you to create your own cel-animation sequences,
by positioning and manipulating a playful cartoon character inside a filmstrip,
and by using provided media assets -- backgrounds, characters in multiple
poses, sound effects. You can play the sequence at different speeds,
and save it. "Make Your Own" functionality lets you produce original cartoons
that incorporate character poses, backgrounds and sounds you made yourself
using other XO applications (Paint, Camera, Microphone, etc.).
This is a WorldWideWorkshop project.

Colors is a simple natural media painting activity for the XO laptop, based on a Nintendo DS program by Jens Andersson.
Rather than constructing images from geometric shapes, the user is encouraged to keep painting on their work until it looks right, starting with rough strokes and then adding extra details.
The activity features soft brushes, collaborative painting, the ability to watch tutorial paintings as they are painted, and a variety of input methods including "video paint" using the webcam.

Dr. Geo II is a complete rewrite of Dr. Geo 1.1 GTK for the Squeak/Smalltalk
environment. Dr. Geo II is available for the XO laptop and PC workstations
(GNU/Linux, Windows and Mac OSX). Dr. Geo is a project of the OFSET,
Organisation for Free Software in Education and Teaching. See DrGeo 1.1 GTK
page to know more about it.

evince is a GNOME-based document viewer. This is the version developed for
OLPC. It is built as a library to support embedding.

FiftyTwo is a set of card games, such as Go Fish, Crazy Eights, Hearts, Solitaire, and maybe eventually games like Eucher or Spades. It is written in Python using the pygame library. In the not-too-distant-future, FiftyTwo will support mesh play with up to four players (for games like Hearts or Spades), and it already supports single-person play against the computer (basic AI play), and multi-player (on the same computer) play.

InfoSlicer downloads articles from Wikipedia so that you can create new
documents by dragging and dropping content from the Wikipedia articles.
You can then publish the articles as a mini website.

Jigsaw Puzzle is based on the classic picture-constructing game,
but has the option to add your own pictures. It strengthens visual, spacial
and problem solving skills and offers a context to creatively reflect on
and explore any subject.
This is a WorldWideWorkshop project.

Joke Machine allows Sugar users to start a multimedia jokebook with images and
sound effects and invite others to read their jokes via the mesh. Friends can
also submit their own jokes to a shared jokebook. The jokebook author can edit
and reject all submissions.
This is a WorldWideWorkshop project.

Labyrinth allows creating mind maps from a mixture of text, freehand drawings, and images from your Journal. There is an infinite sized canvas for your map that can be panned and zoomed while you work.

Browse, launch and share(for v2+) sugar objects

Log is an activity for developers to examine the log files that are generated
by system software and other activities. Logs can also be uploaded to servers
to allow support staff to assist with troubleshooting.

Moon is a simple Lunar phase activity for the XO.

The Draw activity will provide a canvas for an individual or a group of children
to express themselves creatively through drawing.
Oficina (the Paint Activity) was developed and adapted to the XO using Python
for the team NATE-LSI (Integrated Systems Laboratory), in the Polytechnical
School at University of Sao Paulo, Brazil.

Physics is a 2D Physics Playground for Kids (supporting Box2D2), where they can initiate and
observe various physics experiments. It was made for the olpc XO laptops, running the sugar platform.

A poll is a research tool that helps explain what a group of people think about
a topic. Poll Builder allows you to create your own poll, collect votes,
examine the results and think about what they mean. Users can write original
opinion poll questions and answer choices, then invite friends to vote in their
poll via the mesh.
