Samuel,

Cool! Let me know what questions you have.

-Brendan

Hi everyone,

I'm Samuel Pitoiset, an undergraduate student at the University of Bordeaux
I in France. At the moment, I'm in third year.

I have solid skills in C programming language and good skills in SDL.

I would like to apply for the project "Migrate Tux Math and t4k_common to
SDL 2.0" during this summer.

I already have two previous experiences of GSoC. During the GSoC 2010, I
was student for FreedroidRPG (an open source role playing game) and during
the GSoC 2011, I was mentor on the same organization because I worked in a
web agency at Montpellier in France.

I sent a request to join the developers list at
https://alioth.debian.org/projects/tux4kids/ and I'll write my proposal on
Melange this week.

-- 
Best regards,
Samuel Pitoiset.

Hi,
            I am a student of mathematics and Computing.I find
projects of TuxMath to be more appealing then others.I am
interested in migrating tuxmath and t4kcommon to SDL 2.0.
I have already compiled the git version of code.

Regards,
Pallan Madhavan.

Hey Brendan,

Thanks for the advice, I hadn't thought of doing things that way. 
There's a fairly long pre-coding/community bonding phase before official 
coding starts which would be great for making and evaluating quick 
prototypes.

I just have a couple questions regarding the application;
- Is there a preferred format for answering the required questions? Can 
I just do it free-form as long as all the questions are answered in a 
readable fashion, or is it better to treat the application template as a 
literal template and insert my answers after the questions?
- I'm not sure if it's kosher, but could someone in the organization 
look over my application before I submit it? Just to get a second set of 
eyes from within the project on the proposal, make sure nothing is 
unclear or what-not.

Thanks!

Hi Maria,

Sorry for the wait. There's been a lot of GSoC-centric mail from 
students, and some of it is falling through the cracks. I think this 
concept is suitable, but it has some significant limitations:

* Since you have to worry about block placement as well as the addition 
itself, and (I assume) you don't get to choose which numbers you get, it 
might just be too difficult for kids who are just learning
* How can the concept be extended to incorporate subtraction, 
multiplication, division?
* How many columns would fit on a mobile screen, especially if you're 
using touch controls?
* Where is Tux?? :)

Best,
Brendan

Hi,

They went well, thanks :) Anyway, I think doing all platforms isn't
necessary, but it's a definite plus. What I meant by my earlier mail is
that it's best if you:

   1. Create an abstraction layer between game code (C) and system-specific
   code (Java for Android; Objective-C for iOS) if you're going down the
   compiled route, so that it's trivial for a person who does have a Mac to
   port it there without having to start anew. Or:
   2. You could use a cross platform game development framework like
   Google's PlayN library (Java) or as others have mentioned, NML/Haxe or
   JavaScript coupled with some scaffolding code.

Aviral Dasgupta.

Hi Aviral,
I remembered I heard your name somewhere and when I googled, it was true.
You were 1 of the 14 students and one of the two Indians who will be going
to Google office after code in. Congrats on your achievements. You don't
want to remain in India after class XII (Just read an article of yours
saying you wanted to go to an ivy league college) Anyways how were your
board exams?

Thanks for your comments. I will be able to do the Android part and with a
bit of learning the iOS part as well but I think one needs a mac os for
doing the iOS part which I don't have :(

All the best for your future.
Regards.
Siddharth Bhatia.

Hi,

The objective is to port to as many platforms as possible, though it should
be okay if your code can run on/compile for other platforms like iOS with
trivial modifications, or a platform specific wrapper of some sort. An
ideal solution would target the web, Android and iOS. Any platforms apart
from those, would be a big bonus.

Hello everyone,

I am Siddharth Bhatia, a first year undergraduate student of BITS Pilani,
India (http://www.bits-pilani.ac.in/)

I like Tux4Kids as I have immense interest in both coding and android and
thought this is one place where I want to code in my summer and probably
beyond. I have participated in the national camp of the International
Olympiad in Informatics and qualified for the Wolfram 'New Kind of Science'
camp.

I am proficient in C++, Matlab, MySql and am learning python. I am
comfortable with Android platform and am a member of the respected Mobile
Computing Group of BITS Pilani and have been continuously learning a lot
under my seniors and faculty about various mobile technologies. We have
implemented QR Code notices in our university. Recently I participated in
Microsoft Hackathon where we had to develop a windows phone app and had
used phonegap.

I liked Tux4KIds Mobile project and would like to know more about it. Do we
have to make it for both android as well as IOS. I am fluent in Android but
need to read a bit more on IOS before the project starts.

Thanks a lot.

Regards.

Siddharth Bhatia.

Hey Kento,

Like I said, these ideas all have potential. I don't think any of them is a
clear winner. I'm personally sort of partial towards the music idea, but
like I said, it has to actually be an educational tool and not a toy.

It's a tough decision you have to make yourself. For your proposal you can
can mention all four and say you'll decide later--that's fine. You will
have to pick a game to stick with, though--quality over quantity. You might
want to dedicate a week or so to banging out prototypes and then, based on
feedback (hopefully you can find some real, authentic kids to play with,
too), pick one to develop fully and polish.

Let me know if you have more questions ;)

Hi Aviral,

I am in favor of having a Tux4Kids organization on github instead of
switching outright, given that Tux4Kids is the most downloaded project on
Alioth. Setting up a post-receive hook should work -
http://wiki.debian.org/Alioth/Git#Setting_up_hooks  I will try it later
today.

Thanks,
Siddharth

Hi,

We wouldn't be *too* interested in porting to Windows Phone (exclusively.)
If you want to try this project, it has to be in a cross-platform way ie.
any solution must consist of one codebase that targets at least iOS and
Android (Web + Desktop is a bonus)

Ways that this could be done, that have been discussed on this list till
now are:

   - using JavaScript with scaffolding native code
   - using a third-party, open source game engine that supports multiple
   platforms
   - making modifications to the existing C code so that it can compile for
   more platforms

Aviral Dasgupta.

Hello,

I would love to create Windows Phone applications for Tux4kids. Since I
already have experience in creating Windows Phone applications, I want to
bring this awesome idea of educational games to another mobile platform.

Could you please reply to this mail stating your opinion or suggestions?

Thanking you,

Hi,

If you're making major changes, clone the corresponding git repo and make
changes on a branch. Try and keep your branch updated with master and mail
your patch to the relevant mailing list. Someone with commit access could
probably check out your patch and commit it.

Regards,
Aviral Dasgupta.

Hi, Siddharth,

My current method of maintaining it is "substandard" - I currently push
changes to Github by hand, and quite often, I'm busy for weeks at a time
(with schoolwork.) The best way to do this would probably some sort of
postcommit hook with git on Alioth, but I'm not really familiar with the
thing. Someone could investigate that option, then we could set up an
organization for Tux4Kids proper and have a copy of all repos there, or we
could switch to Github outright, which I think is a better idea.

Aviral Dasgupta.

Hi Raman,

You should send a request to join the developers list here:
https://alioth.debian.org/projects/tux4kids/. Once a member, you will have
write permission to the repository.

A suggestion to all - A patch submission can be better handled if we have
our repositories on github (through pull requests). Aviral is already
maintaining the tuxmath repo. on github. How about maintaining the other
repositories on github as well?

Thanks,
Siddharth

sir,
   I introduced myself before , and was directed to clone t4kcommon
,install tuxmath ,go through the source code and submit some patches to
tux4kids.

Till now I have installed t4kcommon ,tuxmath and gone through the source
code.Please guide me on the patch submission.
I even mailed before regarding this but didn't get any reply.

Sir,
I would like to apply for a project under GSOC for your prestigious
organization. I am Apoorva Sharma ,from India studying Computer Engineering
from Netaji Subhas Institute Of Technology in New Delhi. I am presently in
the first year. I have working knowledge of C ,ASP ,VB Script and HTML. I
have no previous experience of GSOC.

I would like to hence gain experience ,knowledge and credentialbility by
working for TUX4KIDS. As of now i want to assist someone or some group in
their project so that I develop an understanding of the type and usage of
the programs that are written for your organization.

Thanking You.

Yours sincerely

Apoorva Sharma

Hi,

I don't think that makes any sense at all. jQuery mobile is a UI framework,
for apps, not games. You'd probably be better off using a framework
dedicated to writing games. You could probably also PlayN if you wanted to
use Java. Not sure about the level of compatibility or support though. But
I can say this: "raw" Canvas will simply be too slow on too many devices to
be worth it.

Do you have any examples of your previous work online? Others have supplied
some, and pretty good ones at that.

Regards,
Aviral Dasgupta.

Hi Brendan

I want to do Tux4kids mobile project. To develop apps for android and iOS,
but as it is already stated above that biggest disadvantage of java is that
it does not directly lead to an app usable on iOS. Also this app must be
develop by using HTML5 because it will be fast.
So my solution is that we must use "jQuery Mobile" , it can used in all the
cross platform like android, iOS, blackberry, symbian etc. Also it is
implemented in HTML5. So it will be best to do this project in jQuery
Mobile.
more information can be found in http://jquerymobile.com/
Please some one guide me, is this the better way or not?

Thanks & Regards
Sajan Kedia

sir,
I have cloned t4k_common and tuxmath .Please guide me on the compilation
procedure of tuxmath on windows.
Also please guide me on how to start submtiing patches to tux4kids.Till now
i have documented t4kcommon using doxygen.

Hello,

I am Karthik, a 2nd year undergraduate from BITS Pilani, India. I have
extensive experience with Html5, Css3, javascript and Phone Gap. I have
good experince with UI/UX development and am very proficient with Adobe
Photoshop and Gimp. I have developed games before using the Html5 canvas
element and javascript. I am aware of the basics of a javascript game
engine, the major loop and am aware of optimising the performance of the
game on the canvas element. I have worked on the canvas element in
visualising 3D elements on the canvas element as well as generating 3D
objects using pure javascript.

Some of the sites I have developed before are
http://www.bits-apogee.org/2012/
http://www.bits-bosm.org/
http://www.bits-oasis.org/

I am keen on developing the mobile app based on Phone Gap. I am willing to
submit the designs if necessary.

Best Regards,
G.Karthik

Hi,

I am a Computer Science undergraduate student from BITS Pilani, India. I am
interested in the GSOC project - "unit tests for tux math & t4k_common" as
it aligns with my skills and previous experience in testing. So it would be
really helpful if someone ( from developers) can give me some task or some
reading material to get a feel of the project/codebase.

Clarification for the "Worder" game:
the ice floes would be various words (eg car, duck, run, dance, blue..), 
and the objective would be to cross the river by jumping on ice 
floes/words that match the penguin's part of speech (eg noun). Some of 
the ice would not match the penguin's part of speech, and those would 
sink so the penguin has to try again.
