Hi all,
with a group of young students, we are willing to package the Magic Word application for the XO. Magic Word is a very nice open-source application written in Squeak/Smalltalk, where kids are able to create animated world very easily. Look at the web site for more information: http://comikit.se/page_magicwords.html
What we want to do at the moment (organize by level of complexity): - adapt the application to XO constraints (especially screen) and release Magic Words as an xo application, - add a support for UTF-8 and translate the application in Vietnamese, - add a cooperative mode for Magic Words so the kids could tags the animated characters cooperatively in an adhoc network.
The source code repository is available here: http://www.squeaksource.com/MagicWords.html
We already do a meeting last week and another one is planned today.
Regards,
