[K12OSN] tuxmath---was Off topic browser issue

[dahopkins at comcast.net]

As luck would have it, the 8th grade math class came down to the lab today to run Green Globs on the Windows Terminal server (via rdesktop).  GTK+Equation Editor can do the graphing.  but ... can't do the 2 remaining pieces: 1) plot points which the user has to find equations for, and keep score based on how many points each equation intercepts, 2) generate a 'hidden' function which is revealed as the user/player generates parts of it.

Not sure if Tux Math was intended for the same audience as Green Globs, but this would be intriguing.  Alternatively, perhaps GTK+EE could be enhanced.
