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

The work that I'm doing on the Android port will essentially give you:

   1. Reusable game components (which I'd originally planned for the C
   version of TuxMath) in Java which could easily be used for a Java version of
   the game (executable both on the web and on the desktop)
   2. Complete Java reimplementation of the game using #1. (partially
   reusable)
   3. Android-specific stuff (no reason to reuse this)

Regards,
Aviral
