[Tuxmath-devel] star after beating level

[Audrey A. <aud...@gm...>]

hello,

i like playing tuxmath. it really helps me with my math. but after beating
a level in "math command training academy" i don't get a star until i exit
tuxmath and start it again.

thank you

[Tuxmath-devel] TuxMath Application!

[Juaan M. B. <ju4...@ho...>]

I can understand that
you have a version for Android, but I would like to develop myself version, I
mean, I need your authorization for use your images and take you main idea
about how the game works, because I want to do a program but taking your idea,
what I would like to do is like the same game but with new functionality for
example: the conversion from binary to decimal and from decimal to binary, also
I want to work with the hexadecimal and other conversions, but taking you main
idea and if I cannot take your images, I just want you authorization for take
the main idea and develop myself version, but with your copyright.

Please I beg you,
give me your authorization, it is for my project and I will be forever grateful
with you.


Being all for now, I await a reply

Yours sincerely: Juan Martínez.

Dear Sirs.

I would like to
introduce myself. My name is Juan Martínez Blanco and I am from Veracruz,
Mexico. I am a computer science student in the fifth semester and I am
realizing a project for the school.

The main objective of
this letter is for asking about the TuxMath project, because I would like to do
an application like yours but an application for a cellphone with Android
Operating System, I would like to use the tools that you use for develop it, of
course with all the copyrights that it has.

The project is for
the school and I will not try to sell it or something like that, accordly to
the free software principles, I just want to make that software for educational
purposes and help to other people to learn the basic things about mathematics;
specially the children.

Well, for the
development of my project I will need your game and put into my application but
with myself libraries using the license of basic for android what is the
program where I develop my applications, I have some questions: Is the SDL
library necessary for the game? If it is necessary, Can I use it for my
application? I will put it and I will not modify and I agree to respect the copyright
like I have already said before, May I use the pictures of your game?

Almost everything is
going to be like in your game, but for a cellphone, I just want your authorization
for use it.

 

 

Being all for now, I await a reply

Yours sincerely: Juan Martínez.

Hi,
Looking at the translation it is far from complete, some good news is
Nalin added a locale switch for tuxmath, as part of his job for
accessibility. Currently just at command line, but already operative, if
you are able to compile tuxmath, then you will be able to test tuxmath
in zapoteco, if not you will still have to wait to get his job
integrated into the main branch of tuxmath.
You could get the Nalin's repositories at github, you'll need to compile
t4kcommon and tuxmath in that order:
https://github.com/Nalin-x-Linux?tab=repositories

usage
tuxmath --language zam

or for the new accessibility options
tuxmath --tts --braille

Cheers
Pere

Some time ago I send the translation of TuxMath in Zapotec, but not if I can already use it. I sent them two years ago. regards

I've added it to TuxMath as "zam.po", although I don't see a "zam"
locale available if I try to add it with "dpkg-reconfigure locales" on
Debian.  As of yet, Tux Math does not its own mechanism to choose a
language - it just follows the system locale, so I haven't yet been
able to test the translation.

Is there a recognized "zam" locale for Zapotec that just isn't in
Debian for some reason?

Thanks,

David

Works fine in English, well, nearly it says "ex" (the name of the letter
x) instead of the word "times"(multiplication) 
The minus sign has too this problem.

when I run it in catalan, I hear the voice in English.
I think you should use gettext functions to get the translations.
Maybe too initialize espeak to the used language...

[Tuxmath-devel] Gsoc tuxmath/tuxtype accessibility for blind people

[Pere P. i C. <per...@gm...>]

Hi all!

Nalin Sathyan has been selected to develop accessibility extensions for
tuxmath and tuxtype, being me his mentor.

Since I don't know what polices you have about giving write access to
the alioth repositories, (I am more involved in Tux Paint and even
myself haven't access to alioth) i am asking what is your prefered way
to deal with this, Should Nalin be granted on a new branch on alioth? 
or instead he has to clone the repos on say github and develop his work
there?

Another question is that Nalin has to develop too a braille tutor, and I
wonder if the input method that we use in Tux Paint for corean,
japanese... could be adapted to braille. So How is the current state of
Input Method in Tuxtype and Tuxmath? I see, Input Method is sequential
and Braille is a matter of typing up to 6 keys at once so...

The last question for now, what is the right place to provide cflags for
espeak? I've just directed him to configure.ac, hope I haven't mislead
him.


Thanks

Hi,

thanks for feedback. Made some changes. I would like to write "Tux
Math"(without multiplayer) , "Tux Typing" and "Tux Paint" with HTML5 and
then modify it for mobile devices using phonegap API too. This is pretty
much my proposition 3 games into javascript without multiplayer for www and
moblie devices at the end. Just tried it(phonegap) yesterday and made
simple game using accelerator working both on my android tablet and
smartphone.

Greetings,
Naimads

[Tuxmath-devel] Fwd: GSoC student, migration to SDL 2.0

[Ivan M. <erg...@gm...>]

Hello, Tux Math developers,
I'm a third grade student from Immanuel Kant Baltic federal
university, study at the mathematical department (on branch of
Computer Science) and I really want to participate in your project. I
want to implement migration to SDL 2.0.

Your team interested in me becouse i have good experience in SDL: I
worked on my own 2d engine on C++ + SDL 1.2 (not only for games) and
have some succes with use it in different spheres (basically as my own
instrument of visualization, but also i tried to make some game with
it). Now I start the rewriting of my engine on  SDL+OpenGL(basic
grafic functions are working). Before openGL it was crossplatform.
Also I know and use C++ (mostly C) from 1st grade (now I'm 3rd). Have
3 years experience of participating in contests(sport programming),
have my own 3d redactor on C# and have some experience in working with
unfamiliar code(tons of C# code). Familiar with SVN and TFS, now
learning git. My favorite IDE is CodeBlocks. Also i started to learn
difference between SDL1.2 and SDL 2.0.
Also know HTML and Javascript, have my own little JS game in the
internet. I love coding)

I want to apply my skills in real opensource project and i like your project.

Now I downloaded from git and compiled t4k_common and tux math on
Ubuntu. In windows I have problem, application doesn't work on
it(Windows 7 x64). Now I study the code. Have some ideas for a few
TODO.

https://google-melange.appspot.com/gsoc/proposal/review/google/gsoc2013/vincentolaw/1
Now I have submited proposal. Sorry for late message, I was first involved
in the GSoC. Thank you for time, that you spent on me!
Yours, Ivan Medyansky.

Hi Iona,

Tux Math mobile has been written in NME/Haxe, which allows us to
target both Android and iOS. We are looking to add more features,
including i18n, debugging support, addition and improvements in the
game mechanics. The end result should be a polished product that we
can release on Android/iOS stores. There are some open issues you can
try out - https://github.com/tux4kids/tuxmathmobile/issues.

[Tuxmath-devel] Tux Math for mobile devices

[Ioana C. <ioa...@gm...>]

Hello,

My name is Ioana.

I would like to work at Tux Math within the GSoC program. I read on the
IdeasList page that you would like to write Tux Math for mobile devices.

I am a second yers student at University Politehnica of Bucharest and
during my first semester of study I took a class on programming mobile
devices. Ever since, I have worked at applications both on Android and iOS.

So far, I have published two applications on the Android market.

http://de.appbrain.com/app/sarbatori-fericite/ioana.pack

http://de.appbrain.com/app/santas-tree/ioana.CULIC

I have also worked at a research project consisting of an interactive
whiteboard application on iPad uing the XMPP protocol, for three months.

I would like to know if you are willing to rewrite the Tux Math for Android
and iOS or you want to port it.

I would also be courisous to know which platform are you more interested
in: Android or iOS.

Ioana

[Tuxmath-devel] [GSoC] Game Pitch - Feedback requested

[Thomas P. <tp...@el...>]

Hi Tux Math developers,

I'm a graduating senior at Elon University in North Carolina, moving on 
to graduate school in the fall at NC State. My undergraduate work has 
been in developing education video games, so I'm very interested in Tux 
Math. I'd love to pitch you an idea for a game and get feedback before 
the final application deadline on May 3rd.

Since most of your games focus on arithmetic, I thought it might be good 
to offer one that transitioned kids into algebraic thinking. I present 
the idea with some mockup images below (sorry I'm not much of an 
artist), but if the images don't go through in the email, I've included 
links as well.

The idea of the game is that we represent an equation as a series of 
blocks on either side of a dividing line (the equals sign):


Mockup image link: http://sdrv.ms/ZVtvQ5

Blocks can either represent a variable (Tux, in this case is /x/), a 
number, or an operation (like +3 or x2). How the blocks are stacked up 
represents order of operations. Kids solve the equation (and free Tux) 
by dragging  blocks from the left side of the equals sign to the other 
(which I thought would work well on the mobile platform). The catch is 
that when blocks cross the equals sign, they flip: addition becomes 
subtraction, multiplication becomes division, etc.). So by "dragging" +2 
to the other side, I'm really subtracting both sides by 2.


Mockup image link: http://sdrv.ms/ZVuAr7

Now the player needs to simplify the right side of the equation, which 
they can do by clicking on it:



Mockup image link: http://sdrv.ms/ZVuVKu

Once simplified, the two blocks (aka, the expression) combine into one 
number:


Mockup image: http://sdrv.ms/ZVv1lf

The player continues this until the left had side of the equation is 
empty except for the variable:


Mock up link: http://sdrv.ms/ZVv7cE


Mock up link: http://sdrv.ms/ZVvaoH

At this point the player has solved the equation. In this case, x = 2. 
The original equation is still visible, so the player can check their work.

Just like in other Tux Math games, the we can add story, score and time 
mechanics to make the gameplay more fun. One advantage is that the 
player doesn't necessarily have to understand algebra to play the game 
at first, but can just drag the blocks that can be moved and simplify 
expression with the arithmetic they've learned in earlier Tux games. But 
they are practicing algebra, and if they can make the connection back to 
the equation above, they can certainly apply it to the classroom.

Thank you so much for you time, and I appreciate any and all feedback!

[David A <da...@gm...>]

hi all,

my son is doing his multiplication tables but i notice in the academy games
the multiplier only goes up to 10. i saw the code defaults its set to 12
and option file also has 12

# Multiplication operands:
# multiplier * multiplicand = product

MIN_MULTIPLIER = 0
MAX_MULTIPLIER = 12
MIN_MULTIPLICAND = 0
MAX_MULTIPLICAND = 12

or are these settings not for the academy games?
