Hi guys. Sorry for the long hiatus. I had some very personal issues I had to attend to, and I haven't been able to update the wiki. Anyway, i'd like to open source this game I did some time ago and give OLPC and its affiliates the rights to just use it. Not GPL, more of creative commons. http://www.object404.com/games/wordblix It runs on the XO-1, but slow since it's unoptimized (will need to change all vector art to Bitmap in order to speed things up, tested on Latest XO-1 OS inside Opera Browser in Gnome). It's going to be better as an AIR app though, as it can be installed locally on everyone's XO, and will probably have better performance than in a browser (not sure about how this will work out with Sugar though). I'm really swamped at work right now, but I'd like to clean up the source files a little bit (strip out the ad engine, replace assets with bitmaps, etc) before I release the source files because it's a bit of an embarassing hack job as it currently is. It'll take around 3 months to do this because of my schedule. The dictionary used inside can be swapped out for a different one, just not sure how it'll work out with european characters as I only built it for the US alphabet. In the meantime, maybe someone would like to come up with re-skinning concepts to rename and re-brand it as an OLPC game? I can just stick those inside the game once I get cracking on it again. The nice thing is that it would run on any platform that supports the latest Flash. Unfortunately, as much as I'd like to, it will not run on Gnash because it's in AS3. Every bit of speed counts when you've got lower-spec machines, and AVM2 can be up to 100x or so faster than AVM1. Also, XML is hell to parse in AS2. AS3 makes it a joy to work with. Would really appreciate it too if someone could post instructions on how to install AIR on the latest versions of the OS as I haven't had much luck. As I said, I'm not much of a Linux person, and it's a little hard absorbing everything because of time constraints. Learning gets a little harder as you get older, and sometimes, the brain can't absorb information as easily as little kids can anymore.
