Are you talking about the hypothetical android port, or do you mean
moving the existing tuxmath and tuxtype desktop programs to C++?  I've
sometimes wished that the programs were originally written in C++, but
I'm far from convinced that a rewrite into a new language is worth it.
 I could maybe see moving to Java if that allowed basically the same
code to be used for the desktop game, a web-based version, and an
Android port.

Don't follow you here - why should we do this?

For any big changes that will break things, I'm happy if anyone wants
to make their own fork and let us know when it is done, and show what
advantages it has.  I don't want to give up on the existing functional
code until a satisfactory replacement is available.

Cheers,
