This is a school assignment, and I am releasing the code that I am creating under a GPL license to the public. News08/05/2008: I now have a working, in use copy of SpellNow at SWIFT-online.net. ... [More] SWIFT is a spelling tutoring program that my school runs, which is what I had in mind when I started making SpellNow. I will be using Swift Online to aid in spelling learning, but this is along side many other activities already in place (SpellNow will just be a side note). This is using PHP, and I will be committing the source to SVN once I am happy with what I have. Also, in regards to licensing. The source code of SpellNow is freely avaliable under GPL 3. There is a difference between the source code and content. I will not be releasing the content (spelling words, audio, maps, story, images etc.) under GPL, so it will need to be licensed out. Of course, this doesn't mean you can't use these items, it just means it will be different to the source code. It will be free for home use, but will be licensed out at a very reasonable rate to schools which are using it to assist in education, which is only fair. The source code is useless without the content, unless you re-write your own content into the source code, which is currently rather difficult, but will be re-done soon. 30/04/2008: SpellNow is back in development! I am going to use it at school now as a learning aid for a spelling program that I am a tutor at, so I will be adding more features. 17/11/2007: It has been a long time since I posted here. Sorry about that! As you may well have noticed, a PHP extension did not come about, as of yet, but I still have plans for it. The C++ version has been canned, and replaced by spellnowPy, a Python version. The Python version will be actively developed from now on, with no major features or changes for the web based version (planned). The PHP version will hopefully work with the spellnowPy version, to allow a database to be used. The Python version will use wxPython for the GUI (Graphical User Interface), and I plan to have it as interactive as possible, with many more features to come. I cannot give a date for when these are released, but I will continue to work on SpellNow into the future. 30/08/2007: Expect a PHP extension/add-on avaliable for download soon, and within the next month (September), a new release (0.78). 31/07/2007: Today my SpellNow assignment was due at school. I handed in a working copy with a few things I had finished 1am the night before. I am releasing this version as a normal version (as apposed to aplha or beta). Please download spellnow0-32.tar.gz. See the wiki page SpellNow032Release. 21/07/2007: Wow, it has been a little while since my last release. It has been a bit over a week since I got back from Tonga, and that went for 2 weeks. Anyway, a quick update. I am working on the same practice page as before (it is getting better), and have fixed the bug so it will now display the score at the end of the list, not the word before. I have also moved a few things around as well as touched up a few things. I am also working on a new menu page, to make it easier to select a level. I have a few other things planned before the final thing is released. I am currently in a different state, so I can't easily upload to SVN without my home computer, but I will when I get home. 22/06/2007: I have released the first alpha of Spell Now! It is called alpha 233, and you can download here: spellnow-alpha233.tar.gz. NotesI am trying to keep this project as open source as possible, but there are a few things I cannot help. Firstly, I am forced to use mp3 for the file format, as I am using a program called Sound Manager to play the sounds, which uses (another closed format) flash to play the sounds. If I can find a way so that I can play it in OGG and without flash, I will do that. Currently, I am working on the word lists, so they aren't fully up yet. The word database included could really be counted as a extra, as one that big isn't really required for my assignment, but it is needed to make it usable. AboutThis is a spelling program, designed to help improve the spelling of Junior School Kids (Grade 2 to 5). This is fully customizable, and can be adapted to any learning environment. Currently, as part of my Information Software and Technology assignment, I am required to make a educational JavaScript program. I am also planning to release a PHP addition to it, which isn't required, but will be able to run on a server and remember student details (previous results, name etc,). LicenseImportant licensing information (additional to GPL): You are allowed to use this program free of use, but you must NOT, under any circumstances, remove any of the credits any where in this software. I reserve the right to change the license at any time, and if you are using the software, at any version, it is assumed that you will comply with the new license or stop using the software. You must purchase a license if you are to use this software in a classroom, within a for profit organization (if you are registered as a non-profit organisation, you can use this software free of charge). This is due to the fact that SpellNow is back in development and more features are being added. This only applies to versions AFTER 0.32. For licensing information, please visit http://joshhendo.com/spellnow If you are using this software in a classroom or learning environment, please email to let me know that you are using it, and how many students are using it. IF you could also let me know any improvements or features that you or any students would like to see in it (or any BUGS that have been found, those are very important to know about), please let me know. I want to be able to make this the best possible. It isn't required to email me, but if you do, I will email you about new licensing information or any other important information about this (the latter won't be emailed upon request, though licensing info will be if changed). Other ProjectsMany other people will know me from the project BitFox, which is a BitTorrent Firefox extension. That is a project I am doing under my own will. I will be working on it later in the year, but this project is a school assignment, so it is guaranteed to be finished early term 3 (in Australia, which would be by the end of July), while I am not getting as far with BitFox. I have mentioned this because some people may think that I will start projects and not complete them, but this one I am required to complete. [Less]
