Re: [Tuxmath-devel] GCI Coding Task Question

[Brendan L. <che...@gm...>]

Hey Francisco,

Jesus might better answer this question than I, but I think this means
that groups of comets come all at once, so basically you would send
multiples of 1,2 then when those are done send out 1,3 followed by
1,2,3 and so on.

HTH,
Brendan

[Tuxmath-devel] Tux Typing Translation

[Joey G. <jge...@gm...>]

Hello!
I translated Tux Typing into Hebrew yesterday for the GCI competition. How
long will it take before it is accepted and the task is closed? I can't
accept a new task until this one is marked as complete.

Hi,

The issue was already added by David in Google Code In and the task was also
claimed by a participant.

Yes, that's a good solution.

I don't know Google Code-In. Do you create a ticket in google melange, or should
I do it?

I liked this idea. If you need someone to test it, may count on me.  :-)

I saw this a few days ago - how about have *all* comets with the
correct answer get zapped?  We could then have some "bonus" sound
effects or animation.  Just trying to prevent duplicate answers from
being visible could be problematic.  When we generate the question
list, we don't know which questions will be visible at what time.  If
we do it when the comets are spawned, do we just discard the second
question with the same answer?  That could throw off the game
statistics.

I'll put up a GCI task to have all duplicates get zapped with a single
shot.  If we don't like it, we don't have to put the patch into
master.

Best,

David Bruce

Thomas,

Thanks for the input. If two comets have the same answer, whichever
comet is lowest gets zapped, but I agree this could be confusing if a
kid is focusing on the other one.

Google Code-In (http://www.google-melange.com/site/home/site) has just
kicked off, so tackling this would be a good task.

Brendan

We just released a new version (1.9.0), and the lessons have been made
shorter (mostly 30-40 questions).  "Sums to 15" is now 30 questions.
The old versions exhaustively covered every single possibility that
fit the question criteria, whereas now the students just get a random
sampling (randomly selected every time).

Go to http://tux4kids.alioth.debian.org for the new version (Windows
binary or source code).  If your school is on Mac, I hope to get
something out fairly soon.

Yes, we figured this out a few days ago with Haiku, only admins can
reassign the tasks.  So we added another admin so now we have three.
Also only the admin(s) can approve new tasks or add new tasks.
Mentors can suggest new tasks but they won't be public until an admin
approves them.  Hope this helps.

Hi everyone,

Looks like we are in much better shape now with several mentors.  One
thing I'm not clear on with regard to Melange is whether mentors can
create tasks and reassign tasks to different mentors, or whether that
has to be done by an admin.  Could someone with just mentor status
test this out?  If Melange lets you do it, feel free to create more
tasks or assign tasks to yourself as mentor.  Also, if anyone else
wants admin status, just let me know.  I think we can have multiple
admins, and we want to avoid having a single choke point in case I get
swamped by my job for several days.

Cheers,

David

Re: [Tuxmath-devel] [Tux4kids-tuxtype-dev] Tux4Kids mentors needed for Google Code-In

[Jesus M. <fo...@gm...>]

Hi!

I'm sorry for the delay. You know, final exams and this kind of stuff.
But I have signed in as a mentor, waiting for the approval.
And it seems a good way to get new contributors (and not only coders).

Chears!

No, they are two separate tarballs (at least that's how I posted them
today).  I'm very open to any suggestions about how best to bundle
them together to make them as foolproof as possible for people to
install.  Not wanting to reinvent the wheel, I asked on the Autoconf
list if there is a standard or recommended way to do this.  The
suggestion I got was just to stick the two tarballs into a
super-package and provide a brief script to unpack and install them.

Best,

David

Yay, cheers!

Is t4k_common included in the tuxmath 1.9.0 tarball? For how long do you think 
this will be the case?


cheers,

[Tuxmath-devel] TuxMath 1.9.0 released

[David B. <dav...@gm...>]

Hello,

I just posted a source tarball and win32 build for tuxmath-1.9.0.
This is the first release in a while, and the first windows build in a
long while.

Highlights:
- LAN multiplayer mode - it generally works, but still has a few
issues.  We still need to provide a "chooser" screen if more than one
server thread is detected on the local network.  For now, the player
just gets a message saying to stop all but one of the servers.  We
also need a "stop server" option, as currently the only way to do it
is to exit tuxmath entirely.  On the client side, it is still possible
for the comets on different player's screens to lose synchronization.
The logic handling new comets and waves in the LAN game is pretty
complicated - I think we need to redo this so the server dictates
these things more directly, instead of following the pattern of the
single player game.
- Increased use of SVG
- Mandatory use of t4k_common.
- mingw-cross-env used to create windows crossbuild.  The crossbuilds
are now completely "cookbook", obviating the need to set up a
complicated crossbuild (or native win32) environment by hand.

I've upgraded my wife's iMac to Snow Leopard, so I'm going to take
another stab at updating MacPorts and hopefully building a dmg
installer.  I don't think I will be able to build for ppc anymore,
however.

Best,

David Bruce
