       eToys - a media-rich model, simulation construction kit and authoring tool

SYNOPSIS

       etoys
       etoys [ option... ]

DESCRIPTION

       Squeak  Etoys  was  inspired  by  LOGO,  PARC-Smalltalk,  Hypercard, and starLOGO. It is a
       media-rich authoring environment with a simple powerful scripted  object  model  for  many
       kinds  of  objects  created by end-users that runs on many platforms, and is free and open
       source.  It  includes  2D  and  3D  graphics,  images,  text,  particles,  pres-entations,
       web-pages,  videos,  sound  and MIDI, etc.  It includes the ability to share desktops with
       other Etoy users in real-time, so many forms of immersive mentoring and play can  be  done
       over the Internet.

       The  development  of  Squeak  has  been  done  inside the ViewPoint Research Institute for
       several years. Since last years it's being done in collaboration with the OLPC project.
