Hi... FWIW, I like Walter's idea of locally generated words for a Hangman Activity. Using spelling or vocabulary words could be very useful. For vocabulary words, maybe the teacher could enter a hint or definition.
Would it be possible to also make it so that other non-Roman alphabets could be used? We are getting a lot of interest for middle-eastern and south-east asian languages.

Is it the same game you're talking about. That is the game I was recalling. As I suspected, it is not seemingly maintained. It may be worth getting in touch with the original developers if you can ( Muriel de Souza Godoi and Junia Coutinho Anacleto). I think it was well conceived and worth learning from. Junia is still at USC as far as I know. > And can i go on developing a new one ? Of course. It seems you have some interesting ideas that are worth exploring. (It would be an interesting enhancement to let the word lists be locally generated as an option, e.g., this week's vocabulary words, etc.) regards. -walter Mukesh Gupta Delhi College of Engineering On Sun, Jan 2, 2011 at 8:06 PM, Walter Bender <[email protected]> wrote: On Sun, Jan 2, 2011 at 9:21 AM, [email protected] <[email protected]> wrote: Hello friends,I have an idea of a new activity for sugar platform. I wish to develop a word guessing game like Hangman .I browsed through the sugar activities on http://activities.sugarlabs.org and i didn't find any game related to word guessing. The game will consist of various categories which a user can choose from like animals,country names,famous personalities,dictionary words etc.After that the program will display a word of the chosen category and the user will have to press keys on keyboard (or click on virtual keypad) to guess the letters. User will have to do it in some specific number of attempts. After that some small information regarding the word guessed would be displayed. Please share your views about the idea and give suggestions . There was a very nice version done at the University of San Carlos in Brazil about 3-years ago. It should be available somewhere on the laptop.org wiki. Not sure that it is still maintained, but it would be worth looking at. Instead of a hangman, they used flower petals. -walter Mukesh Gupta Delhi College of Engineering _______________________________________________ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)
