[Tux4kids-discuss] [GSoC 2010] Project questions

[David Bruce]

Hi Marcin,

The refactoring was started last summer and so far consists of the
code in git://git.debian.org/git/tux4kids/t4k-common.git.

So far, libt4k-common duplicates code contained within tuxmath.  We
will need to adapt tuxmath by gradually using the functions from
libt4k and removing their counterparts from tuxmath itself.

After that, we will have to "port" tuxtype to use libt4k, which will
be a much bigger change.

Also, we will have to adapt the build setups for the platforms we
support to take into account our new common library, as well as get it
packaged appropriately, etc.

I think the SDL 1.2 to 1.3 transition should be considered separately.

Tux4kids-admin is a separate Qt4-based program - it doesn't share code
with the game programs themselves.

Best,

David Bruce
