Description | Undercover UXO is an educational game designed to teach children in wartorn countries to spot and avoid potential indicators of landmines and other unexploded ordnance (UXO). It is played on the One Laptop Per Child program's XO laptop. The game is purely graphical, with no text to read. All information is conveyed with photographic images and audio files that can be easily swapped by the project sponsor to accomodate different locales, languages, and lack of reading skills. |
