Instead I have to type the German =DF (sz). Is there a workaroun= d? I'm not sure - TuxMath recognizes keypresses based on the keysyms defined b= y=20 SDL (SDLK_MINUS is '-' key in main keyboard, or SDLK_KP_MINUS which is=20 the '-' key on the numeric keypad). All I can suggest for now is to try=20 both, if you haven't already. > > - For younger German children the English menu of TuxMath is a problem. > A multi-language version would be great. TuxMath has the beginnings of that, but only for the Linux version. I have= n't=20 yet been able to get the internationalization code (Gnu gettext) to build o= n=20 Windows. It certainly is a goal. > > To improve the handling I translated the titles of the 54 lessons to > German and installed them on our school network drive.

Of course it would be OK! Under the terms of the GPL, you should also post= =20 the tar.gz source - it would be even greater if your pupils choose to=20 download and work on that! ;) If you use Linux, the best way to do the translation is to make a German .p= o=20 file for TuxMath, which we would be happy to include in the project.

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.

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 |

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?

Hi, The issue was already added by David in Google Code In and the task was also claimed by a participant. -kiko On Thu, Nov 25, 2010 at 3:59 PM, Thomas Guettler <tgu...@tb...>wrote: > > > David Bruce wrote: > > Hi Thomas and Brendan, > > > > On Wed, Nov 24, 2010 at 3:00 PM, Brendan Luchen <che...@gm...> > wrote: > >> Thomas, > >> > >> Thanks for the input.
