Yep, it sounds great!!! I can help to tutor one of the kids.
I thing factoroids need also better graphics, may be improve when the
player hits some special rocks, etc...
I'm also sure that the factoroids code is very simple for a newcomer.
Maybe some more comments in the code can help.

But what about tuxhistory? We need a nice GUI in SDL, some thing like
a menu, selecting options, maps, etc... It is may be also a GFX/litle
code task. (I strongly prefer more work on tuxhistory to make some
progress. :p )
