Childsplay looks like trash. The sourceforge page hasn’t been updated since 2013 and the version there and the version in the Ubuntu repositories both say “demo” at the top and only show a very small selection of games – nothing like the screenshots here and on sourceforge. The games are buggy and half-assed, e.g. a game where the child scores points by clicking on fish, or a version of pong with no spin and where the ball gets caught in the bat. Failing to implement Pong properly is astonishing.

I’d like to try Celestia; based on your recommendation, it looks very good, Unfortunately, here is what is reported when using ‘apt-get install celestia” in the terminal:

“Package celestia is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package ‘celestia’ has no installation candidate”

Can you ‘ping’ the creators for an answer, Martins?

“MAPLE is an open-source math software”

No, MAPLE is a commercial program. It is not open-source.

My pleasure, Henry.

In my experience, KDE apps are usually worth writing home about.
