Package: bambam Version: 0.4.dfsg-2 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch Children in Poland usually begin their literacy education by using upper-case letters. I guess the reason is that they are easier to write and distinguish.
The attached patch adds a command-line flag to flip to using upper-case. The default is still to use lower-case but I'd personally vote to switch it. BTW, my 18-month son loves this app, thanks! -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers precise-updates APT policy: (600, 'precise-updates'), (600, 'precise-security'), (600, 'precise'), (400, 'precise-backports') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.5.0-28-generic (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=pl_PL.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=pl_PL.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages bambam depends on: ii python-pygame 1.9.1release+dfsg-5 bambam recommends no packages. bambam suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
