  • Abstract
    This poster describes a terrain editor for the CIVITAS-Cidades Virtuais: Tecnologias de Aprendizagem e Simulacao environment, to be developed by UFRGS-Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, and used at third and fourth grades of Elementary Schools of Venancio Aires Town-RS-Brasil. MAPPA has the goal of being a computational modeling tool, in terms of two and three dimensions, applied to natural terrains where will be included the rest of elements of virtual cities, in addition to the rules of the environment.
