Project History
The original eduActiv8 project was started by Ireneusz Imiolek in 2011 (as pySioGame), and is used by families and schools around the world to engage young learners with basic educational concepts. While that project has developed significantly, it is aimed at desktop platforms, and attempts to build mobile-compatible versions from its PyGame codebase have not been fruitful. In 2019, development of this project was started using the LÖVE framework. This project shares no code with eduActiv8, but repurposes much of eduActiv8’s design and assets with the goal of extending access to users of mobile devices.
