Sifteos for Dyslexia

CMPUT 302 Project 8: "Sifteo Games for Dyslexia" for Suzanne Sauvé.

Copyright © 2013 Jake Brand, Nick Klose, Richard Leung, Andrew Neufeld, and Anthony Sopkow.

The Sifteos for Dyslexia project has the goal of creating games for Sifteo cubes which will help children with dyslexia learn to discern between different audible and visual phonemes.

Required Packages For Use

  1. Python 2.7. Python is Copyright © 1990-2013, Python Software Foundation
  2. PyQt4. PyQT is Copyright © 2013, Riverbank Computing Limited. Riverbank Computing Limited is a company registered in England and Wales with company number 4314904.

Additionally, to compile the interfaces to an EXE file for Windows, the following is required:

  1. Py2exe. Py2exe was developed by Thomas Heller, Jimmy Retzlaff, and Mark Hammond.http://www.py2exe.org/

Details

Course: CMPUT 302 Semester: Winter 2013 Institution: University of Alberta Instructor: Walter Bischof

Compatibility

Compiling from Source

evaluation.py

In general, a system with the required packages can run the evaluation interface with the following command while in the Evaluation directory:

python evaluation.py

customization.py

In general, a system with the required packages can run the customization interface with the following command while in the Customization directory:

python customization.py

Alternatively, to run the program in debug mode (which prints verbose output to the console), use this command:

python customization.py debug

setup_win.py

This file must be run on a Windows machine with py2exe installed. It may need to be modified to suit the specific system it's being run on. It can be run with:

python setup_win.py py2exe

This applies to both the evaluation and customization versions of the setup script.

Running on Windows

The evaluation interface can be run on Windows by opening Evaluation/evaluation.exe.

The customization interface can be run on Windows by opening Customization/customization.exe.

Future Work

The following future work is applicatble to this project.

  • Creation of other, similar games to help children with dyslexia.
  • Creating of an OSX and Linux executable for the evaluation and customization interfaces.
