Re: [Tuxmath-devel] Marathon finished - plan to get active on tux4kids again

[Aviral D. <avi...@gm...>]

Well, it isn't exactly a port as much as a rewrite. The logic of Factoroids
isn't all that complicated and the amount of work that needs to be done is
vastly reduced due to Android's *awesome* APIs and the fact that it's Java
(as compared to C). I currently just have a ship flying around on a screen,
but I guess it shouldn't take long to complete it (...only if I had the
time) It's closed source for now, but I'll publish it as open source when
it's ready.

Regards,
Aviral
