random scripts to help my kids learn things

This is a collection of scripts that I've used to help either demonstrate a concept to my kids or help them learn things by rote.

Installation

I've kept dependencies to a minimum in case anyone wants to use these. The only dependency I've added is the colorize Ruby gem. Install it like so:

sudo gem install colorize

Also, I rely on native OSX facilities and a shell for some things, so this will almost definitely not work on Windows. If there's a say equivalent on linux, you could just alias say to be that.

You need to run these scripts from a terminal (open Terminal.app), for two reasons:

  1. I'm used to working in that
  2. I want my kids to feel comfortable in terminals
