Well, GCompris is also moving to the goocanvas and pygoocanvas. Most of
our development effort goes to this port currently in our gcomprixogoo
branch. Most of the port as already been done.

I like your work and as it's based on pygoocanvas, it would be a perfect
fit for GCompris. BTW, in the old day, I included your Matritsa game
concept in our double entry activity.

So if you want to focus on the development of your activity and rely on
GCompris to be distributed, packaged, documented, translated and
maintained, you should consider writing your activity for GCompris
itself.

Status of goocanvas and pygoonvas

2008-02-26 Thread Dov Grobgeld
Hello,

I'm a Python newbie who have used my new OLPC as a pretext of learning
Python to write some "board" games controllable with the OLPC game buttons.
As I was familiar with the goocanvas from the past (in C, and Perl) I choose
to use its python binding pygoocanvas for my first game. You are welcome to
see my first attempt at:

http://imagic.weizmann.ac.il/~dov/olpc/index.html

Look for goovex .

To run it on the olpc you will first have to do:

yum install pygoocanvas

and that is the issue I wanted to ask about. Is there any chance of getting
this platform "officially sanctioned" so that I can create activities and
have them run out of the box?

Comments on how I should finish the game are welcome as well. :-)

Regards,
Dov
