Pato,

Tidepool will be free to play, though at this time the source code is not open.  This has more to do with personal bandwidth than philosophy.

My announcements to these lists is motivated by shared educational philosophy (based upon the works of Papert & Kay) and shared community (I've worked with many in the Etoys, OLPC, and Sugar world.)

Money raised from Tidepool will primarily go to non-profit educational groups, including the upcoming Kickstarter which will be used to pay courseware authors.

Hi:

I have a big question. I see being advertised simultaneously (crossposting) ondifferent lists related to free software about  this announce. I need to ask:
Is there a repository from where to download the source code of this application that allow review, copy, reproduction or translation?

Thanks in advance

Subject: [squeakland] finalizing Tidepool alpha list

Hi all,

The next version of Tidepool, our multiplayer programmable game world for kids, is releasing next week.

We're finalizing our alpha invite list.  If you want to try Tidepool for free, signup before September 1st to reserve your spot and become a "trailblazer".  

You'll earn a badge that's visible in game, and you'll get special perks when the game releases.  You can also reserve your username.

http://playtidepool.com/signup

Starting Tuesday, you'll need to contribute to October's Kickstarter to get early access, so signup now.

Take care, 
Tim
