Re: [Tuxmath-devel] Introduction for GSOC-Project Tux4Kids Mobile

Sorry for the late reply. I was coding for an on campus coding competition.
I thought of both the options but think creating an abstraction layer is
better. Most probably there won't be any problems of not including a new
platform. I'll submit the project application soon and request you to
kindly guide me on any changes.
Thanks.
Siddharth
