Hi guys. Currently in Auckland, NZ now.
Went to the game developer meetup last night and tossed the idea of an OLPC game jam for students and pro/hobbyist game developers to Stephen Knightly (chairperson of the NZ Game Developers Association -> http://twitter.com/sknightly ) Problem is that there aren't enough Python coders and not everyone has the luxury of learning python. Perhaps other platforms that can run on the XO? For you guys who've been doing this, like in Nepal, Is there any good documentation out there for Sugarizing Javascript/CSS/Canvas/HTML5 apps or any "web bundles" (Java applet/Flash applet packages) in general? Something that people with *zero* Python experience and who work on Windows & Mac can use. Another reason I'm big on cross-platform stuff for the XO is that so OLPC kids do not become "digital 2nd hand digital citizens" - they should be able to enjoy the same apps "the cool rich kids" use. We're looking at a possible pitch for the idea to at the auckland game dev meetup on January as a talk. Game jams are big right now, esp with http://ludumdare.com and for people who're into the demo scene http://scene.org instead of building some stuff just to show off mad skillz for free anyway, how about tapping them and building stuff for kids? Even interactive digital art stuff? Hope everyone is well, -Naz -- carlos nazareno http://twitter.com/object404 http://www.object404.com _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
