[Tuxmath-devel] lasers & shields, oh my!

[William K. <nb...@so...>]

Ok, I've added a laser-beam effect when you get the right answer,
and the cities now have shields (so they can be hit once before exploding)

I've thrown a screenshot up here for people to oogle over
(Sam can you stick it on the TuxMath home page?)

I'm heading home from work now, and prob. won't be doing much online
or development tonight, and will be at Linux expo all day tomorrow.


Enjoy!  Test, send comments, feel free to send patches or poke around
the code (if you have CVS access).  Just lemme know what you did and
why, so I can make sure it grooves. :)

Thx!

All very awesome.

I think the game is almost complete enough for a release (if you feel the 
same way).

So, if you want, I can start contacting the BeOS, Win32, MacOS, i386 RPM & 
DEB people to make packages for it.

I would like to do some minor graphic tweaks (to the images). Also, I have 
most of the new Tux animations done. I should be able to get them online by 
tomorrow morning.

Sure will. I was planning on making some new screenshots (and finish up the 
site, heh, heh ;-)

Sure, as long as they don't mind making builds semi-regularly. ;)

How can we gather more testers?  I've sent one friend off to the site
and he tried it out.  Another friend of mine has two little boys and
he'd like to have them try it out.  Should we just assume lots of
playtesting after initial alpha release, or should I hound more friends? :)

OSEF.org is willing to supply us with /all the beta testers we ever want/. 
They will install any release we make in the schools they manage, and give us 
feedback.

Once we get a release, we'll let them know.

Now one thing to keep in mind, they deal with so many systems that they can 
usually only update their systems once a month (at most). So (depending on 
how often we release) they may not catch all of our releases.
