Name: Kig

Description: Kig is a program for exploring geometric constructions.

Kig is meant as a useful utility for high school students and teachers, and as a fun project for me and others. I have learned a lot by working on it, and it''s fun to work together with other people on it. I''ve written much of the Kig code myself, but I''ve also had a lot of help from other people. Please see the about box for more information.
