Sebastian, RenPy looks pretty cool. Sugar does ship with PyGame and can play audio in OGG format so making a Sugarized RenPy Activity might be possible. As Ed pointed out we have Text to Speech using espeak as well.
I wrote a book called "Make Your Own Sugar Activities!", available for free at flossmanuals.net, which may be of use to you. I haven't written the PyGame chapter yet, but I'll be working on it next week and I'll be sure to check out RenPy. To use PyGame in an Activity you can use a library called SugarGame. That's supposed to make PyGame and PyGTK work together. There is also a project called "Our Stories" that may be of interest: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Our_Stories James Simmons On Fri, Feb 26, 2010 at 10:55 AM, Sebastian Silva <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello James, > Thank you for your quick response. > I have been navigating thru ASLO > looking for something I could use or > maybe base upon for building a play-reading > activity, one that could be used perhaps to tell > a story or sort of like a teleprompter, > a help of memory, a more rich presentation > than what could be achieved by displaying an > e-Text... > The closest thing I could find is perhaps > to try and adapt and develop something > on top of the excellent RenPy visual Novel > Engine: > http://www.renpy.org/wiki/renpy/Home_Page > I'm thinking also of authoring capabilities > for instance for cultural rescue (of native > language, stories)... > What do you think?
