       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.
