Treenimation

Treenimation has been superceded by Xappland, ( click here ). Treenimation had been previously superceded by Pygapp, ( click here ). Treenimation had been previously superceded by Clixmaker, ( click here ). Treenimation is an open source software tool that lets you create multiplayer board games, as well as games with 2D, and ultimately 3D animation. The development of Treenimation is currently in the early stages of implementation. Treenimation runs under Windows and is implemented in Python.

The Linux version of Treenimation is called Boardwalk, and is also implemented in Python. The target platform of Boardwalk is the OLPC laptop. OLPC stands for "One Laptop Per Child," a project which aims to distribute millions of $175 laptops to schoolchildren in developing countries.

Using a built-in scripting language called Treescript, developers can create almost any game imaginable. These games can then be uploaded to the Treenimation web site. Non-programmers can create drag-and-drop board games, and programmers can add functionality to these games.
