Hello,
I was wondering if I could be provided some contact information of an individual involved in the OLPC Etoys development process.
I am a computer science graduate student at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and for my class project in OO Programming and Design I would like to contribute to the OLPC project by developing an educational game using the OLPC Etoys image provided in Method 1 http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Etoys.
I would like to discuss the process of integrating the final game into the OLPC squeak image.
Thanks for your time and assistance in this process. Sincerely, Shayne

Hi, Shayne,

The individuals involved are ... us! But I happen to be a member of the core team among others.

The image is a monolithic thing that is loaded onto the DRAM whenever you launch the Etoys activity, so if we can sort of keep it slim without losing functionality, that would be better. Can you think of your game be one of the "ExampleEtoys" projects? Each of these projects is on the disk (or somewhere on the network) as a separated file, and loaded when the user select it from the file dialog. That might be a good match for what you would like to do.
If there are more than one games (from anybody), we could surely create a directory for them (especially these games are "educational"^^;). If it is appropriate, can you elaborate about the game a bit? (If you would like to send it privately, I can surely discuss it with other team members, but if it is ok, this list would be better to get more feedback from extended community.)
