I've added this link the the tux4kids gsoc wiki page, http://en.flossmanuals.net/GSoCStudentGuide/ch008_writing-a-proposal/ It's the manual that GSoC mentors have put together over the year discussing how to write a good proposal. Be detailed in your timeline, explain what you plan to do and when it will be done by, etc. Read through that, and ask if you have any questions. Example work is a good start. Look over past projects that have been done for Tux4Kids in prior GSoCs. Get an idea of what is expected. There are a few past projects that aren't quite completed, perhaps looks those other and provide a patch or two so we can see some of your skills. For example, check the bug trackers to see what if any current issues exist and see if you can fix them. We have used NME/Haxx in some of the projects, students seem to pick it up quickly as it's easy to learn. The core programs TuxMath, TuxTyping and TuxPaint were all written to use the SDL library. SDL has been updated to SDL2 in the last few years, and TuxPaint for one is moving over to use that, I'm not sure on the other two. It might be good to look over SDL2. This should allow for these to work on multiple platforms, PC, Mac, HTML5, Mobile, etc. -Scott -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

At this point, I believe work is being done to port Tux Paint from SDL 1.2 to SDL 2, which has much improved support for iOS, Android, multi-touch input, etc. So I think we'd appreciate help towards those efforts.

(deal with the cases were many pixels get drawn at once) Save/open the pattern. Enter/exit the pattern mode. Disable the tools that are incompatible with the pattern mode(labels?) and reenable them again when the user exits it. I suggest to download and compile tuxpaint right now, then try to familiarize with the code, say try to fix some bug or add some small feature. apt-get build-dep tuxpaint should help to get all needed things in place in Debian and derivates Android port: The goal is to have tuxpaint compiled, packaged and running on android. You may have to compile first many of the libs tuxpaint depends on or maybe find android specifics replacements for them. Also you should adapt the tuxpaint interface to android(autodetect the screen size, android onscreen keyboard and so on) Tuxpaint is currently being ported to SDL2, sources are at https://sourceforge.net/p/tuxpaint-sdl2/code/ci/master/tree/ Hope this helps Please, for Tux Paint questions use the tuxpaint-dev mailing list: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/tuxpaint-devel From bonfire2104 at gmail.com Wed Mar 4 01:45:00 2015 From: bonfire2104 at gmail.com (Umang Goel) Date: Wed, 4 Mar 2015 07:15:00 +0530 Subject: [Tux4kids-discuss] Interested in Tux English project Message-ID: Hi All, I went through the ideas page and found Tux English really interesting.

I can build a prototype of my idea (using Phaser) in 1-2 days and share with you guys if the mentors wish.(Mentors please let me know) Regarding Tux Paint , apart from the given tasks , I feel it would be good if we can additional functionality of allowing the user to draw from both desktop and mobile application (on the same canvas which will be in sync with both devices).Because some curves/shapes are easy to draw using the touch functionality while other can be drawn with mouse.The state of the canvas can be saved on server which can be local(or mobile device) also.I made similar project on this in which mobile device acts as server , user can draw on mobile . Desktop acts as client which periodically request the canvas data from mobile server using AJAX.This can be further extended to provide a two way communication between both the devices.

I'm currently looking for a senior project and ran across your Google summer of code page. I have been learning Android programming and would like to create a game. I had an idea for a game called Tux Geometry that teaches kids the basics of geometry. The easiest game would teach kids to identify various 2D and 3D shapes. Another part of the game would teach kids about angles. Another section could teach kids how to find areas of shapes. Please let me know if this is something you are interested in.

I'm Arian, and I would love to get initial feedback from you here about my project proposal for GSOC 2015 . Specifically, I aim to develop a series of 'mind exercise' games, the initial idea being on the IdeasList . I am aiming to create up to 4-6 types of games, each favoring a specific skillset, such as reasoning, memory. Ideas currently on my mind are, stuff like a memory game (Cards mind game), and a Spatial Reasoning Game (Count the cubes on a stack). Before divulging further though, I would very much like to get to know the potential mentor I will have for this project (if I'm accepted), so that we can have a healthy discussion for the ideas and direction that will be best for this proposal. With regards to me, I'm a software developer with a few years of experience under my belt and a handful of released titles. I strive for usability, usefullnes, and beauty in the apps that I create. I also have experience with educational games, which I believe will be a vital advantage to this project. I have created multiple cross-platform educational games for the k-12 audience for a major client. (unfortunately, I can't share who, per NDA clause) Anyway, You can see my portfolio here .

For all potential students... Figure your project should fill the entire coding period, working about 35-40 hours a week on it, so you can make a lot of progress in that amount of time. Make sure your proposal(s) contain a timeline of what you plan to complete each week. Also note any potential conflicts such as class or vacations, or internships that might interfere with the GSoC coding period. Also for all the students new to this list, I posted a general reply a few days ago, here's the link: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/tux4kids-discuss/2015-March/000644.html Dig into the source code, learn how it works. Familiarize yourself with any required supporting libraries etc. We only have a few mentors, so it won't be possible to respond to all the emails we get from potential students. -scott -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

URL: From arya.ghodsi at gmail.com Fri Mar 6 14:29:38 2015 From: arya.ghodsi at gmail.com (Arya Ghodsi) Date: Fri, 6 Mar 2015 15:29:38 +0100 Subject: [Tux4kids-discuss] GSoC Proposal/Questions Message-ID: <80A2205B-73CB-441F-A851-F318F6D613DC@gmail.com> To whom it may concern, Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Arya Ghodsi, 24 soon to be 25, and I am a masters software Engineering student at the University of Ghent, Belgium. I recently stumbled upon the Tux4kids on the Google Summer of Code page. I will be as honest with you guys as I can be (throughout my communication) concerning what I have to tell. I will not try to tell you the stuff you want to hear because that what would get me though to the next round, it ?s what I personally believe in. I have heard of Tux4kids, but..it has been a long time, I came across the apps of Tux4kids when I first came in touch with Linux when I was 12 (Ahh, Ark Linux, I loved that distro)) but until now I have not contributed to any open source program. Given the opportunities provided by GSoC I want to bring a change in that. Why? Because I honestly love linux and opensource and I am an advocate of educating our younger generation because - how cliche this may sound - they are the future. This is why I am sending my proposal to this list (and I won?t deny it, the opportunity is great). After reading the ideas on https://code.google.com/p/google-summer-of-code-2015-tux4kids/wiki/IdeasList there was not much that gave me that ?WOW?-feeling until I read the last bullet: Develop Mobile applications for Tux4kids This "Idea" has a great deal of flexibility. The main goal is to extend our project beyond installed desktop software into such areas as web-based applets and educational games for mobile platforms (Android and iOS). And that ?s where I ?d like to enter the play. So what do I have to sell? Honestly, my passion. The program I follow at my university (Master of Computer Science: Software Engineering, full program disclosed here http://studiegids.ugent.be/2014/EN/FACULTY/E/MABA/EMCOMT/EMCOMT.html ) doesn?t include anything mobile and that ?s a pity, because I also personally believe that mobile is the future. The uprise of the smartphone market is a vital sign of that. So I started learning on myself, I learned how to program for Windows Phone, Android and iOS (through elective courses, an internship and a lot of Googling). However the program has given me an expert level knowledge of Java and Software Engineering principles such as design patterns etc. I am proposing to build a mobile app/game (given the restriction of Windows Phone and iOS) in Android that introduces something totally new to the Tux4kids platform. I am suggesting to build an application that allows them to learn coding. IT is one of the most important field that enables our society to run as we know it and we know that there is a shortage of IT people, so why not already tickle their curiosity or give them some coding skills. I am of course not talking about teaching them full-fledged coding skills and drawing up UML cases (Hm, maybe they can use Tux Paint to make UML diagrams..Just kidding). I am talking about learning them the basic concepts of variables (e.g. why not explain them using a closet analogy where they can store stuff) and based on their age we can approach with more ?difficult? concepts such as if/else clauses and loops (Telling them a tale, where the character has two main paths where he has to chose can be a way of introducing if/else clauses or explaining to buy a cookie they need to save money by putting a coin in piggy bank every day can be used to explain loops). The game would be something they can play in a narrative kind of way, just like levels they unlock they get new concepts. As I said before, I want to be as honest with you as I can be, so here we go, I have had almost no exposure to programming full graphical games, but I am willing to work hard and learn as well as contribute to Tux4kids. This is my initial idea, I am tossing it here to see whether there is interest coming from the Tux4kids project in such an idea for GSoC, if so I will make detailled report of this idea and fill in the application form on http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/org2/google/gsoc2015/tux4kids .

I am interested in this project because since most stand alone applications are being ported to the web, building an online version of this game will really ease kids to learn English. Also due to the abundant availability of Internet Services, creating a web version of Tux English will really encourage kids not to be downloading apps all the time. I am very proficient with Web programming languages which i am going to use in building this application; HTML 5, CSS 3, JavaScript, Phaser(for cross-platform). These are the technologies i am going to use in building the application. I will like anyone who think he/she can support me about this project should start doing it now because i will be shaping my ideas from now on the project so that it can be implemented during the Summer of Code 2015. I am also available on the irc channel on freenode: #tux4kids and my irc name is: d3r1ck, so anyone can contact me from now, especially if a mentor is interested to mentor me in this project so that we can start doing something and let he/she(Mentor) be guiding me as i walk along with this project. I will be very happy if i have someone to mentor me on this project. Thanks you all very much and i will be waiting for any comments, suggestions or any clarifications as regards this project i want to work on.

But as i was playing, i noticed a typo when the Tux is trying to help the user on how to play the game. There is a statement where he said: If you you ever need me to repeat ..., but the statement is suppost to be If you ever need me to repeat. So one "you" should be removed so that this typo should be fixed by those who are working on Tux block. I am not working on TuxBlocks like i would have done the correction. If this mistake is in the android version, then i think it will also be in the desktop version. Hope this will be fixed.

I am going to use the following technologies for implementing the system: - HTML 5 - CSS 3 - JavaScript - Phaser(JS Library). - PHP or JavaScript Server Side Programming - MySQL or PostgreSQL DBMS - Asynchronous JavaScript(AJAX) *Methodology* I intend to make this game in levels and i have done some research and gathered information about what kids like when it comes to game play (especially educative games). The main trend of this game will be as follows; Letters and their Sounds -> Letters -> Words -> Clauses -> Phrases -> Short Sentences -> Long Sentences. This will be the trend that kids will follow in the game and this game will be split in various levels of difficulty(Easy, Intermediate, Hard). Based on this idea, when a kids plays the game and leaves, when he/she comes back to resume play, the game should resume where he/she stopped playing which now brings into consideration the creation of accounts before game play(this was not mentioned in the project explanation). A way of keeping track of this is using a database to save the states of each kid when he/she resumes play. Explaining the trend above, we will see the standard; 1) *Letters and Sounds*: This will teach the kid how to see each letter and know the sound of the letter. This will enable the kid a long way in reading by combining the sounds in the word. 2) *Letters*: The kids at this level will be able to recognize letters of the alphabet and and even a group of them from the shapes (principle: No two different letters in English have the same shape). 3) *Words*: At this level, the kids should be able to combine letters to form simple words in English and be able to pronounce them and understand their meaning if necessary. 4) *Clauses*: Reaching this point, the kid should be able to form simple clauses which makes meaning and at this level, the kid has really improved in English language 5) *Phrases*: Phrases are a better version of clauses and phrases makes more meaning and sense than clauses, meaning if a kid is at this level, he/she is almost at the level of knowing English Language to standard. 6) *Short Sentences*: At this point, kids can speak English fluently by making simple sentences which makes meaning and convey information from one person to another. 7) *Long Sentences*: Wow, this is it. When the kid is at this level, he/she can communicate very well to others. This is the goal. Note: Additional features will be added to this game in the long run(not in the GSoC period) like: Handling sentences with tenses (Past Tense, Present Tense, Future Tense etc) so that the kid can be able to know to relate issues of different times using the tenses. This is just how the whole game will look like in terms of the teaching standard so please i call on all the members of this organisation to look at this approach that i am proposing and make comments and also i call on any mentor that is interested in mentoring me on this project should contact me so that we start working on it at once.

Like i said in the methodology, it was just a draft and i am still shaping my idea and because of that, i made the post so that people like you can read it and make comments or reply with brighter ideas. I really appreciate. This shows some level of understanding that you have in the domain. I just wish to ask, are you a mentor or a student because i was really requesting for a mentor on this area so we can discuss and make this product during the summer. If you are a mentor, i wish we could work together and make Tux English a better app. Don't worry about the implementation, i will handle that but all i want is a guide from someone in Tux4Kids. I am available in the IRC channel so you might want to talk to me more and vise versa. Please reply me on what you have about this game and the development process. Thanks once more.

Your program is unrealistic. Level 1: Learning the letters and being able to say a word that begins with that letter. Kids do this between 2 ? to 4 ?. (this level can be a game in itself, and there are plenty) Level 2: Reading CVC words (constant vowel constant sounds). This can take kids between 4 ? to 6 ? to master this. Realistically it can take kids a good year to get through this level. It is a very hard concept for kids to grasp. Level 3. Two beginning constants sounds. Move through quickly. Level 4: Ending two constant sounds. Move through quickly. Level 5: Two vowel sounds. Kids move through slowly through this phase. The above 5 levels are regular Hooked on Phonics, which has 5 levels. All of those 5 different levels are just 1 syllable words, and you can honestly expect kids to take 2 years to get through it. After that you are dealing with suffixes, prefixes, and multi syllable words. That is probably another 1 ? 3 years. But that does not even talk about sentences. 1. Verb only: Go! 2. Noun and verb: Alice sat. 3. Adjectives: The little Alice sat. Look at the book ?Simply Grammar? by Charlotte Mason. And within that book, there are 4 different parts. Now you are talking about paragraphs. Do you get idea? 1. Program 1: Learn the letters 2. Program 2: Equivalent to hooked on phonics 3. Program 3: Equivalent to hooked on phonics Master reader 4. Program 4: Equivalent to ?Simply Grammar? And that does not include paragraphs and essays. Way too much in one product. As the saying goes, ?Jack of all trade, master of none.? As a programmer and homeschooling parent, I would recommend creating a ?TuxType To the Next Level? type of program. Focus on copywork. A lot of homeschooling parents believe that a student can learn to write well by copying text from great writers. Start off with idioms and phrases (sentences). Then move to short stories like Aesop?s Fables. Then move onto longer stories. There are already people who have done the grunt work. 1. Charlotte Mason, the person who invented the idea of copywork. Her recommended curriculum (actual source books) http://amblesideonline.org/curriculum.shtml 2. E.D. Hersch ? What your X Grader Needs to Know http://coreknowledge.org There are others, but in those two, most of the selections are in the public domain. http://archive.org and http://www.gutenberg.org/ have a lot of public domain items in txt files. There is also http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Main_Page If you do it as a ?plugin? through Mahara, you can save yourself a lot of effort, and you will prepare students to move from your application to Mahara.

I graduated from RIT (Rochester Institute of Technology) in the early 1990s. I worked professionally until 2001. Then I left the industry to raise my children full time (be a full time Mom). I also do (and have) homeschooled 3 of my children. I taught them to read, and we are currently working on learning to write essays. My youngest is 2 ? and will be starting preschool in the fall of 2015. He is just starting to actually use preschool educational games as they were intended to be used ? as opposed to randomly pressing for random cause and effect. I don?t have time much time, because homeschooling 3 of my children takes my time. But answering questions through email I can do. I can sometimes help with as well as beta testing things.

Instead of building a game, build a tool. There was an old product that was written for Windows 95 / 3.x /98 that was a fantastic product, but it was dropped. ? Imagination Express : Destination Ocean ? Imagination Express: Time Trip USA ? Imagination Express: Neighborhood ? Imagination Express: Destination Castle ? Imagination Express: Destination Rain Forest ? Imagination Express: Destination Pyramids Anyway, this was how the program worked. A child would create a ?book?. On each page of the book, they would select a background. Then they would add characters and objects to the background. But the program was very intelligent. When an object was placed towards the back of the scene, the object would automatically resize smaller. When the object or person was put into the foreground the object is made larger. The program was fantastic, but alas, as with a lot of great software products, it ended up in the world of oblivion. This is a tragedy. You should dig up these products and update them to either work on linux or current versions of windows, but with an added twist. Add the ability to send these electronic books to WordPress, Mahara, and Moodle. Another great ?writing Program? that has gone into oblivion is ?Comic Book Creator?. The program would create a template of boxes (the comic book). The author (child) would add a background to the box, add characters, and then add text. The product had different packages: penguins, Marvel, Christmas, Thanksgiving, etc. If modules were added for different periods in history, it would be a great educational tool. And just an FYI, my 5th grader tried to learn to touch type using typing programs like TuxType, and others, and it was not a success. This year we used ?Barron?s Typing The Easy Way?. He liked it better than all of the other ?learn to type programs?. The moral of the story is that sometimes, a ?low tech? way of doing something is more than fun than a ?high tech? way of doing something. That is probably why ?Minecraft? is so successful. It is in some ways ?low tech?, but requires ?high imagination? from the kids. In my opinion, that is what you should aim for in any TuxEng type of program. The program should require high imagination from the child. The child controls the program. Not the program controlling the child. And definitely a ?module add-on? / ?plugin? type system where others can add backgrounds, characters, objects, and ?pre typed in text? to share. Last year for homeschooling, my kids used Minecraft to create a reenactment of the American Revolution, including all of the major events. Is any program that you are going to create going to have the ability for a child to do that? Remember the basics of writing: ? Who (characters) ? What (objects) ? Where (background scenes) ? When (clothing and objects from different time periods, historical as well as futuristic and present) ? How and why ? problem (idea text).

As the project itself that I'm applying for ( *Wallpaper tool/mode like the pattern magic tool that affects the behavior of the overall program **) *is part of Tux Paint , I will forward this mail to both Tux4Kids and TuxPaint mailing lists. *About me:* I'm Andrei, I'm a second year student at the Faculty of Automatic Control and Computer Science at the Polytechnic Univ of Bucharest. This GSoC is my first opportunity to work with the open source community and I can say I'm thrilled! While programming is my carrer choice, math was always my passion. Since Primary School I attended contests and got rewarded Localy ,CityWide and National. I enjoy solving various smart mathematical problems with applications in all areas of research. My IRC Handle is andrei_il / andrei__il. I already introduced myself on #tux4kids and asked for some guidance regarding Tux4Kids GSoC projects , especially TuxPaint in which I am interested the most. My github is https://github.com/ailinca . *Coding Skills:* I'm running a Linux Mint x64 distribution on my laptop and I use it 98% of the time. I enjoy developing C applications using gcc for compiling and gdb for debugging. I also have a Windows 8.1 installed which I use only if I need to work with Microsoft software products. I have experience working with C and I enjoy coding using this language.C was my language of choice both for academic purposes and for coding challenges like talentbuddy and codingame . Currently, I m exploring other areas as well, such as developing a standalone Java app that tracks how you spend money or some simple game in C++ and Qt. *Tux Paint:* I choose Tux Paint because it's a really nice visual program with lots of unique features. I have to say that I did not expect to enjoy that much a simple drawing software for kids. I'm very curious about how every magic tool has been developed and implemented and I'm more than excited to contribute in any way to this product. I think the "Wallpaper tool that affects the behavior of the overall program" project is the best way to integrate into a open source community because it combines aspects that I enjoy ( playing ) with carrer path ( programming ). It also has been recommended to me by a dev on IRC. *So far:* -I cloned the git code on both my OSs -I read everything I found about Tux Paint on its site ( http://tuxpaint.org) -I read the documentation files -I've spent 2 hours playing with the game *Questions:* If you don't mind ,I have some short questions about this project: What OS do you recommend me to use ? I know Linux is a better place for developing but Windows have it's fancy IDE's like MinGW or CodeBlocks. Maybe they help. How should I start working? I will need a better understanding of the program before I get to the developing part itself. What do you recommend me to look in first? I will stay on IRC quite a lot, asking question and refferences. If you have any feedback or criticism, please do, it's appreciated!

Please have a look and provide me with feedback, if possible. I would also like to formally ask if there is a Google Summer of Code (GSOC) mentor who is overseeing this project, if there is not I would like to ask a member of the organisation to mentor me as a GSOC mentor so that I can undertake this project for GSOC-15. If these ideas are acceptable to everyone, I would like to start developing some part of this application to show that I am capable of completing this project and am a worthy candidate.

I am interested in working on the project "Developing mobile applications for Tux4Kids" as part of Google Summer of Code 2015. I am proficient in HTML5, CSS, Javascript and PhoneGap/Cordova. I have developed the following applications on Phonegap, which can be found in my GitHub repositories: 1. Color Pattern Match: A game built using PhoneGap where colors are flashed across various cells in a random order. The user has to remember the order in which the colors are flashed and verify so by clicking on the cells. I have also developed a web application of the same name. 2. TechIQ Quiz: It is a quiz application built using PhoneGap where you have to select the correct answer among the options provided for the question. 3. To-do-List: A phonegap application where you jot down the tasks to perform and strike them off as you complete them. This is the link to my GitHub repository: https://github.com/Vada695 I also familiar with programming languages such as C,C++,Python. I work on the Ubuntu 64-bit operating system and I know my way in and around the terminal. I wanted to ask if it is possible to develop Tux Mind Exercise app or do we have build the existing games from scratch?My IRC nickname is vaidehi and I would be really grateful if some insight is provided.

This GSoC is my first opportunity to work with the open source community and I can say I'm thrilled! I went through the ideas page a few days ago and theTux English projects really interested me and I wanted to take up this project for Google Summer of Code - 15. *Coding Skills:* I'm running a Linux Ubuntu x64 distribution on my laptop and I use it 98% of the time. I enjoy developing C applications using gcc for compiling and gdb for debugging. Prior to this, I have made myself hands-on with C++ as well. I also have a Windows 7 installed which I use only if I need to work with Microsoft software products. I have experience working with C/C++/Python and I enjoy coding using these languages. C/C++ were my languages of choice both for academic purposes and a food for my soul. Having that developer?s instinct is something that led me a step up to learn and be proficient in HTML/CSS/JAVASCRIPT. Always craving for more, I learnt BootStrap and jQuery as well. Serving a bit of my knowledge on a plate, I have built a Battery status web-app, a simple calculator and a very basic rock-paper-scissor game. Currently, I m exploring other areas as well, such as End-to-End testing , Agile Development, Test Driven Development. I?d like to incorporate my skills where ever required and contribute to this project. I would also like to formally ask if there is a Google Summer of Code (GSOC) mentor who is overseeing these project and how could I start-off soon. Regards, Shubhi Goel. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I am also good in programming languages like C,C++, python, Java etc. I prefer using Linux for my application development. *Interested Projects:* After having a look at the Ideas page, I was fascinated with these two projects: 1 )Tux English : An idea where students can start from learning typing and move on to more advanced games like Sudoku. 2 )Tux Mind Exercise : A game which enhances mental power of a human. I am a big fan of Minesweeper. I have an idea of developing a game which is similar to it but a simpler one for kids which helps them enhance their mental ability and improve their Thinking power. I would like to work on one of the projects and create few games in that category. *Related Work Experience:* 1)I also want you to have a look at my project which is a website builder where you can customize different parts of a web page without any coding practice.Tools used are: HTML, CSS, Jquery, Google Maps API, AJAX, web2py, mysql. link for the site : https://anirudh27.pythonanywhere.com/integrationfinal3/default/index 2)I also developed few small games using Phaser libraries in HTML5. 3)As a part of my coursework, I developed a 3D motor racing game. The physics and rendering was written from scratch in C using openGL, openAL. I guess, I have enough base knowledge to work with the project for my GSOC?15. It would be delightful if the mentor would guide me in starting the contribution. Thanking you Anirudh Alampally -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I'm *Lazar Nikolov,* 20 years old, from Macedonia. I'm a student at Faculty of Computer Science and Engineering in Skopje, Macedonia. Currently I'm pursuing the Bachelor Degree of Computer Science and Engineering. My main focuses are Web Design and Mobile App Development. I've worked on freelance projects and turned some of my ideas into apps as well. 3 years of experience in the field of Native Android Development and 2 years of experience in the field of Website Design and Development. By that time I've learned the following languages:*HTML, CSS, JavaScript, jQuery, Java, XML,* and the following technologies and environments: *Android Studio, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Bootstrap 3, WordPress, PhoneGap and Cordova.* I've also won several programming competitions. The last competition was a 36 hour Hackaton where my friend and I developed an Android app where the students can easily find companies who seek for interns (which is a solution to a common problem in my country). I'm interested in these projects: *Tux English* (I have experience with JavaScript game engines), and *Tux4kids Mobile* (I have strong experience with PhoneGap, Cordova and Native Android development). I'm also on a Mac, so iOS won't be a problem too. I haven't participated in the GSOC before, this is my first time, and I'm willing to spend the whole summer on this project! What I like about this project is that it's from the educational spirit. I think that smartphones and other smart devices are, may I say, even better gadgets that can be used for education! I strongly believe that the future of education is going to be mLearning and eLearning. Today, in the era of computers and technology, even little kids have their own smart gadget that are using to play games. I believe that the games that we're going to make together are going to be very fun and very educational for the children. Great education is the most important things in this world!

I've decided to push it to Github. - http://shoutfit.mobi/ : a PhoneGap app where the users can rate their friends' outfis. - http://maralalsafarilodge.com/ : a website for a lodge in Kenya, Africa. - http://lazarnikolov.labertsolutions.com/portfolio/design-improvisations/ : some design mockups for mobile apps. (That's actually my blog there, but I don't have the habit of updating it much). Thank you for the opportunity to work for you and I hope we're going to hang out for the summer!

I've reviewed the site and downloaded the program(Tux Paint Config) already. I have carefully glanced the functioning of the program and its features minutely. Also I've reviewed the CVS repositories trying to understand how the code works and the internal functionalities. I have also cloned the git-repositories and started playing around with it to get a hang of it. I am an indie game developer and currently working on an 2D Platformer Android Game (Java) with the help of my Android Framework. With the help of a mentor I can successfully port some modules to android as the TuxPaint program should spread its target audience as far as possible.My android game prototype - Visit : sidystan.blogspot.in I am a Game programmer and I started my journey with SDL. I have worked with SDL and SDL 2.0 and developed a couple of games and now I am pretty fluent with the library.Hence I can try porting the existing modules to SDL 2.0. Thus, I believe I can successfully contribute to the porting part of the Tux Paint program. Apart from that I can also contribute to the Graphical User Interface of the program . I am well acquainted with the Version Control Systems(Git) and I've worked in an Open Source Project - SuperTuxKart . Kindly supply me with a mentor so that I can accelerate with the project.

I am a second year undergrad student studying Computer Science And Engineering at IIT Kanpur. I really liked the problem statement of Tux4ME as it focuses on enhancing mental prowess with the help of "fun to play and develop" games. I have worked on android platform earlier to make a utility app for my college's cultural festival "Antaragni". The app had features like- General information of events, their venues and timings, result updates, important notifications, contacts, and google maps to mark important campus locations. link: www.antaragni.in/antaragni.apk link: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-fujm5pn2d7E/VQZwSzKlQBI/AAAAAAAAAFM/yh53c6mbWKc/s569-no/antar.png I am a regular practitioner of C/C++ and involved in competitive programming hence have a good programming experience with algorithm and strategies. I have also used Unity3D game engine to create a cryptographic game in code.fun.do. I am new to application-making using HTML5 and javascript but I am dedicated and capable enough to learn it and achieve project objectives. I have developed a game so far using phaser library called 'Star Collector'. The player has to collect all starts in minimum amount of time. link: http://kriti16.bitbucket.org/Game2/index.html *My Progress on Tux4ME idea:* I have designed one game related to each category you mentioned in the problem statement: (1)*Reasoning:* *THE NIM GAME*- Initially some objects( in my case coins) are divided into certain number of stacks(3 in example). Turn-wise each player picks any number of coins from any stack. Choosing some coins from one and rest from another stack is an invalid move. The player who picks up the last coin wins. *MyDesign:* https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-tjVJPIymB00/VQZ_vMb9gcI/AAAAAAAAAH0/DH1U8fRG3zg/w979-h457-no/NIM.png (2)*Flexibility:* *STROOP TEST*- The famous stroop test presented inn interactive manner. A train with different colored carriages moves and the player has to tap the carriage with the same color as of the meaning of the color written on it. In case reverse appears one has to reverse the answer as well *MyDessign*: https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-VgNy0NTr7cI/VQaDp3R1vWI/AAAAAAAAAJQ/3ukiSan62x8/w979-h457-no/stroop.png (3)*Attention:* *CAB DRIVE*-Cabs are continuously assigned a destination on the map and the player needs to ensure that the cabs reach there by modifying the junctions. *MyDesign*: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-lzuUSo0YbbI/VQaIyJX6aPI/AAAAAAAAALk/zaEFawu4YSk/w979-h196-no/cabdrive.png (4)*Memory:* *MUSICAL MEMO*- I thought combining music and memory could be fun. In this game the app plays some notes and the player has to replay the notes based on his memory. *MyDesign*: https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-R_-xlraKuGY/VQaHK_sCb-I/AAAAAAAAAK0/87GQ8qFkEMk/w979-h372-no/memo.png (5)*Speed:* *IDENTIFY ME*- Different figures keep on displaying on the screen along with a text.User has to respond whether text correctly identifies the figure(Match) or not(different) . There is a time limit, so as quickly one answers more number of cards will be displayed.If Reverse appears answer must be reversed. *MyDesign*: *https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-ZxT5lIr-Z5s/VQbStyhfqSI/AAAAAAAAAMU/jcpbaF2kJ8w/w978-h500-no/speed.png * I request all mentors to guide me further and suggest some improvements in my design. Please provide the link where I should upload my final proposal for your review.

Like there are various levels of problems we could also categorize problems to like mental exercise, puzzle solver, and many more and then could set the difficulty level accordingly. b.

Message-ID: Hie i?m C Ramachandra Sharma. I?m interested in Tux4kids (Tux Mind Exercise) Tux4ME project.I?m passionate about javascript and HTML. All these are the basic ideas of the project.Please help if you feel there is need for improvement or change. My idea for this project: SPEED: For speed i?m planning to build game where kid will be given a word.Letters will be falling randomly over screen.You want to hit mouse right click on letter in order such that word given will be constructed from them.On clicking each correct letter it will be filled in order in a box which is empty starting whose length is length of word.If he hits wrong letter or misses the correct letter then points will get reduced.If the kid completes the challenge then in level up the speed of the letters falling will be increased. Example: Given word: example. First if kid clicked on ?e? then kid have to select ?x? If kid select any other letter other than ?x? your points will be reduced or now if you miss any ?x? on screen your points will be reduced. If you clicked on wrong letter it won?t be displayed in box below where correctly clicked letters are displayed for reference. I think most of kids hate words may be we can replace word with a sequence of cartoon images and cartoon images will be falling randomly. ATTENTION: You will be shown a ball which will be hide in one of the three bowls and these cups will undergo a series swaps among them.After swapping completes kid have to guess in which bowl the ball is.Initially the swapping speed will be slow after each level up it will be increased. (or) Kid will be shown a lot of things at a time and asked to name the middle one of the shown things.For level up you reduce the time. REASONING CAPABILITIES: I have plan of having 3*3 TIC TAC TOE here where kid play with the computer player of the game which will play optimally or kid can select double players option and can play with other player :). MEMORY POWER: Kid will be shown some random things in a order after that all the things will be displayed,kid have to click on these things in order as shown before.If kid clicks on wrong thing there will be points reduction and on each level up the speed of things show in order will increase. FLEXIBILITY: There will be ball hung to rope from ceiling and there will be a bowl on ground.The kid can swing the rope by moving the ball and want to cut the rope such that it will fall into the bowl. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I'm Eklavya Sharma, from Bira Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani, India. I'm interested in contributing to Tux4kids during GSOC. But I'm not sure what to do next. I'm very comfortable with C and C++. I've been programming in them for 2.5 years. I have checked out the source code of tuxpaint, tuxtype and tuxmath and build them. I have shortlisted 3 ideas from the ideas page on which I would like to work (dec. order of preference), which are 1. Adapt Tux Typing to use the t4k_common library 2. Migrate Tux Math and t4k_common to SDL 2.0 3. Wallpaper tool/mode for tuxpaint I tried reading tuxtype's source code (mainly main.c and a bit of titlescreen.c). I could understand broadly what was going on but it was difficult to understand all the details. I've generated doxygen documentation for t4k_common. I tried doing the same for tuxtype but didn't succeed. t4k_common's doxygen doc only shows the unit testing module, so I couldn't figure out how code is distributed among tux4math and t4k_common. Since very less time is left to submit an application (I was busy with exams, sorry), I have turned to tux4kids mentors for help. Please guide me. I started learning SDL 2.0 two days back. The best I've done is to made a program which loads an image from a bitmap file and display it in a window. But I'm interested in learning more. Apart from that the only experience I have with graphical programs is that of making a few Windows-API based programs a year ago, mainly using dialog boxes (A few months back I shifted from Windows to Ubuntu). I mainly spend my programming time solving competitive programming problems. The main problem I'm facing is that the code is large and I think it will take time to understand it well enough to get a crystal clear view of how I'm going to implement the project idea. Can you please guide me on what I should be doing in the coming days to be able to write a good application?

My skillset include C++, C, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Php, Python and have worked on Open Source projects of my own as well as contributed to organizations like Mozilla and jQuery. I was going through the ideas list mentioned here( https://code.google.com/p/google-summer-of-code-2015-tux4kids/wiki/IdeasList) and two ideas interested me. First one being Tux Mind Exercise. I had worked on similar memory game which was JavaScript based.( http://manraj.collegespace.in/Experiments/Memory/) It is a basic memory game which displays alphabets and show if two open cards match or not and depending on that and number of moves taken to complete score is updated. I would like to extend this further and include it in this Tux Mind Exercise as a GSoC project. Further I see backend missing in the description given here. Is it a fully offline app? If yes then I would suggest to use localstorage to save progress. If not, then we can create a backend with user details and progress saved complete with login feature(Php and MySQL or any other choice). This will user play the game as and when he/she is free. We will keep it responsive so that it is easily playable on mobile as well. (PhaseJS or similar) Similarly we can think of task of varying difficulties for memory power. We can also extend the same framework once created for reasoning capabilities, speed, attention and flexibility once complete. We can include levels of varying difficulties(Easy, Medium and Difficult) as well. Various features can be added and need to be brainstormed. Second being LAN multiplayer for Tux Typing. This would require Socket Programming and sending and receiving data on ports. There are various libraries that make Socket programming easy in C++. One of them being Enet( http://enet.bespin.org/). We can use the same for LAN multiplayer connections and would help share data and scores among nodes. One thing that I found strange is that there was no Sourceforge or GitHub repository.I feel I was not able to locate one. Could you help point to it so that I can start studying the code. I would also like to discuss the proposal before submitting it on Melange.

I would like to contribute to the TUX4ME. I have a good knowledge of PHP, MySQL, HTML, CSS, Javascript, JQuery, C++, Ajax , Bootstrap, Node.Js, and I am familiar with MVC application architecture and UX. I have also worked with git and a have contributed in making a ebook library for our college which uses a great amount of PHP. I am very comfortable with Web Development and making apps from scratch. I also have some great ideas related to each sub-topic upon which a game can be made. Like: ->Speed=How fast a child can identify a color, there is a maze made up of tiles and as soon a particular tile is reached child has to press the button. ->Memory=We all have played a game of remembering cities in school and converting this to a web game will be a great idea with impressing pictures and graphics. ->Reasoning=There will be two snakes (starting from different positions) following you and you have to confuse them in such a way that they collide to each other. ->Attention=A small audio can be played followed by questions. Plus, the user profile can also contain the improvement in his performance with time. The rating would also be with not just the scores but will also consider the age of the child as it won't be fare to compare a child with a age gap of more than 2-3 years! Sorry for a late mail but I planned to first find out a real plan which can be implemented. And all the plans that I have suggested can be made and I have properly looked at all the ways in which this can be done. There are many other secondary ideas which can be implemented. Adding to this I also think that Maths and mind exercise are inter-related. So I also think that to these mind exercises we can add mathematics and logical questions. This won't be a complete maths question but a well framed question which requires thinking and logical ability. The way a question has to be presented is also important so that the user enjoys while using it. UI and UX are important I have plans for that as well! Here are some more ideas for the games that can we make with examples. The examples are just for what kind of the game it will be. It will be worked upon and make a better different version. Reasoning: http://www.learninggamesforkids.com/logic_games/seesaw-logic.html Memory: http://www.learninggamesforkids.com/memory_games/color-memory-game.html Speed: Typing speed can also help in providing this, so we can make it a bit interesting rather than simple typing. The user will be provided with 4 sentences and the user has to type type the correct statement as fast as possible. I have made a rough idea of all the features the app will have. The games that it has that you can find in my first mail. Plus I have also planned to have Ego's formula for rating the player. Will you suggest any prerequisite that I should work on or plan for the project. I had also send this before directly to the mentor. I have also submitted a proposal, kindly review it and provide some feedback. Thank You Abhinav Kauhsal keshari IIT Roorkee -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

This will also include how the rating and comparing will work. Different Categories Games Reasoning: - See-Saw game. Different shaped objects will be randomly placed in the see-saw in both the sides and the user has to has to select the heavier one. This can be made increasingly complex for higher levels by including more than 2 objects. - There will be two snakes (starting from different positions) following you and you have to confuse them in such a way that they collide to each other. Speed: - There will be a colour named and randomly different colours will be displayed on the screen. As soon the colour displayed matches with the colour written, user has to click on it. The points will be decided according to the speed. - Words will be continuously displaying on the screen for 30 seconds and the user has to type it. Points will depend on number of correct characters, time and accuracy. Memory: - Randomly a city will be displayed in a world map and the user has to keep remembering those. Then he will be asked to connect the cities in the map in order. The more cities he connects the more points he scores. - There will be a cube with a pattern displayed in it. The user will be given few seconds to remember the pattern and then he has to make the same for going to the next question. Attention: - An audio will be played (15-30 seconds long) then questions related to that will be asked to score points. The audio can contain direct answers or hint for the answers. Flexibility: - User will be a postman and he will have a task to post the letters to their correct addresses in a city with different paths. You have to select the order of the letters in an efficient way such that the postman has to travel a minimum distance to deliver them all. The fewer steps will give higher points. - Player can be hotel manager and have to manage its client by providing them proper rooms and fulfill their respective demands. User Profile User profile will have a detailed report of their performance in each category of game. They will be given an overall rating and plus individual rating for different category as well. This will help them to compare with others around the world. Rating would be not just depended on the the scores but also your age and how much time it took for you to cross different levels. User should also be a given details of the most played games around the globe and how many users have passed a particular game and a particular level, so that they can judge which level is crossed by the most of the users and which of them he has not solved. User would also have an option to view another person?s profile to compare his complete performance with others. Extra Features - We can include the accuracy of each game and level so that user can see which one has the most successful rate. - A player will have an option to challenge another user for an one on one challenge, The player with higher scores will be decided as a user. This will give the user extra points (points achieved will depend on the level of the opponent, it will follow Elo?s algorithm). The following can be achieved by including the following additional API?s: - Scores API can be used to produce scores for each user. - Leaderboards API can be used to produce the leaderboard for each category and age group. - There are many more API reference provided by Google ( https://developers.google.com/games/services/) which can be used and I am going through all of them to select the best ones for the project. - Having a knowledge of HTML Canvas can also help in developing better animations along with Phaser library.

I'm a Nigerian, schooling at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka. I am currently majoring in Electronic Engineering. I have the knowledge HTML5, CSS, JavaScript, Java and C language, and that is what I use to program/code. When i saw the Tux4ME project, I immediately fell in love with it. I think it was because it aims at helping kids/people, which i love doing. Also, the structure of the game seems fun and interesting which would make the kids love it. I also love the different test modes, which tests one's IQ in different fields. I have ideas on how the game can be developed with more contents than stated in the idea page, some of which are: survival mode of question, in which the questions keep coming randomly till the user fails a question, different time limits based on the difficulty of the question etc. I am also working on attractive user interfaces for the game, which would attract kids and make them love it. I always advice people to follow what they have the passion for because no matter what comes in their way,they would still strive to achieve success and due to my passion for this project, I am applying for this project. Despite I never knew about Phaser library, I have started working on it due to this project. i hope to be selected for this project, I am willing to put in my best to achieve the aim of the project, and help kids/people worldwide. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

This course I taught by Alvaro Neira Ayuso who is one of the students in GSOC in the two years previous contributing to the project 'nftables' and with several patches in the Linux Kernel. In additions to all that, I have experience in development programming languages such as Java, Python, BashScripting and PHP/HTML/CCS. If you are interested some of the code I have developed can be seen in my repository https://github.com/jmlm16 Besides of the knowledge from my studies, I belong to the Free Software gnu/linux association of the University of Seville also known as 'SUGUS GNU/LINUX', this allows me to learn trough the events we organize a enormous number of technologies related with free software , which makes this the main reason why I love to collaborate with one of them in a proyect. I would really appreciate the opportunity of learning and working with you in this project.The idea in which I am more interested is to be able to work Tux Mind Exercise, I think it is fundamental for children to be able to work with their minds and it seem to me , this kind of games for children with attention deficit and/or hyperactivity disorder. To be able to help these children to manage to improve their skills trough a game that it is at once helpful and fun for them. My availability for this project is absolute sice my professor says, 'as soon as your first patch is accepted, it is so fulfilling it makes you work even more than before'.

I am intrigued by TUX MIND EXERCISE idea. I have a little hesitation that I am a little late in discussing the project, I am really sorry for it. However, if you could advise me some warm-up-tasks that you require from me, given the time-frame, I would be more than happy to do so. For the project, I am developing a toolkit, which will make it easier to develop games for the project and integrate together the games developed by different developers. It will provide common features that may be incorporated in different games. Some of such important features are: a standard UI and UX; standard navigation framework; customized buttons and properties; count-down timer; undo feature; score calculator; randomization function. Mentors, please provide details about current state and progress of the project. Are the games to be included, decided yet? this would be important information for enhancing my proposal.

I have already introduced myself and here i am sharing my ideas on tux mind exercise project. These games/mind exercises are framed keeping in mind that not only their memory power increases but something more adds up to their stack of knowledge. Keeping in mind playing is the best way kids learn. Following are my ideas shortly weaving to reality. Based on categories, mind exercises are jotted down below. ATTENTION: >> Swipe-off :: An arrow will be shown on screen pointing in a particular direction. The player will swipe the arrow in the same direction as it is pointing to if the color of the background is black and swipe arrow in the opposite direction if the color of the background is white. The player needs to correctly swipe as many arrows as possible in 2 min. This will test the attentiveness of the player. >>Beware :: An ambience of stormy night will be shown to the player. Rain drops and lightning will fall from top of screen towards the umbrella on the screen. The user needs to tap/click the drops and let go the lightning. A player will score positively for every rain drop tap and negatively for every lightning tap. The game will be time based >>Colour-coded :: 2 colored buttons/balls will be shown on screen, the player has to click/tap them only when the background color matches either of the ball's/button's color. >>MatchMe :: Player need to find the same geometrical shape of same colour as shown from a 3x3 grid containing different geometrical shapes of different colours. >> Whack the stack :: In a 3x3 grid of pot holes , few monsters out of 9 keep peeping out in a random manner and player need to hit them REASONING: >> Two numbers will be shown. Player needs to press either + (add) button or - (subtract) button after for both the numbers after analysing which operation will be required to be done with both the numbers with respect to each other. >> Hangman :: Very commonly played game with a twist in it. For the word shown on the screen , player will be required to guess the word keeping in mind that it is its synonym. As a hint , vowels will already be filled up. MEMORY: >>Follow-the-leader :: 4x4 grid of different color will be there. Player need to follow the same pattern of colours as it will be shown on the screen and hence will follow the leader. >>Gotcha! :: Firstly a list of words comprising of 4-5 words will be shown to the player and he need to remember it. Then he need to find out a word which wasn't present in that list shown before. >>Pictures will be shown to the player in a particular order for few seconds. Player need to select these pictures then, from a lot of pictures in the same order as shown before. FLEXIBILITY: >> Shortest-path :: In a 4x4 grid two flags will be positioned and player will be required to join these two so that he takes the shortest path keeping in mind the obstacles there. >>Add-me :: 4x4 grid filled with numbers 1-4 in a random fashion. Player needs to choose a path such that the numbers in his path add up to the number displayed on the screen. SPEED: >> Math-mate :: simple mathematical questions which player will be required to answer in a limited time duration. >> Sorted! :: Two different color balls will be required to sort out by placing them in their respective coloured boxes as soon as possible. These are a few ideas i am looking forward to implement. I have quite a few and hopefully alluring UI and UX ideas which i would like to go with. Apart from these, a few more features could really make a this app a pack of wolves and these are-- # A Character: Kids are very fascinated when any thing comes handy along with a character which interacts with them. They enjoy learning and playing that way. So we could introduce them to a character which will be accompanying them all through their process of learning. # Reward: As player progress, different kinds of avatars can be rewarded to him as his achievement. # Personalised scorecard : Player can get to know in which field he is weak and which one is his strong one. I am always open to any kinds of suggestions, reviews or feedbacks. I hereby request the concerned mentor to guide me further so that these ideas come to life as soon as possible.

I wanted some feedback on my project proposal before submitting it and wanted to discuss a few ideas. However, the assigned mentor hasn't been replying to my emails. Do we also have some other mentors? My idea for Tux English is to make a web-based application for it to be available to a wider range of audience, which is the whole idea behind going beyond traditional desktop applications. I wish to divide the whole project into 3 levels, which the user will be able to choose from. *Level: Beginner* This level will teach children the various letters, and common objects that begin with each letter. It will teach kids how to recognize each letter, how to write it and how to form words. First, there will be an introductory video introducing each letter. Through this, the children will also learn the pronunciation of each letter. It will also show a few objects that begin with that letter. *Game 1: Where are they?* A scene of a park with trees and fountains will be displayed with letters in different colors scattered all over the park. A board on the left will display the letter that a child has to find. This letter will be randomized. Each time the user finds the correct letter, he will earn points. When he manages to find all letters, the game will end. *Game 2: Write them down*The purpose of this game is to teach the kids how to write the letters. On the left, the letter to be written will be displayed. On the right, a shadow of the letter will be displayed which the user will have to trace over with the mouse. *Game 3:What word?* The purpose of this game will be to recognize which objects start with which letter. A letter will be displayed on top. Below it, images of various objects will be displayed and the user will have to choose which object starts from the displayed letter. *Game 4: Alphabet Soup* In this game, an object will be displayed on top. The mission of the user will be to spell out the object. A button on the side will pronounce the word on click. A group of jumbled letters will be given below the image and the user will have to arrange the letters to spell out the word. *Level: Intermediate* This level will teach kids about sentence formation and rules of grammar. As in the previous level, this level will also contain an introductory video which will explain the various conjunctions, prepositions and their usage. *Game 1: This doesn't make sense!* This game will display a bunch of jumbled sentences which the user will have to rearrange to form meaningful ones. *Game 2: What goes there?* This game will be a fill-in-the-blanks game. It will contain sentences with words which are commonly mixed up as blanks and the user will have to fill them. Eg: I ____ two apples. She _____ 4 shoes. The book is ___ the table. The wedding is ____ Hyderabad. This will help them recognize the usage of various conjunctions and prepositions with different tenses and nouns. *Game 3: Are they the same?* This will display some homonyms and the user will have to select the meaning of each one. This will help them distinguish between the meanings of homonyms and their usage in sentences. *Level: Advanced* This level will deal with increasing the vocabulary. *Game 1: What does this mean?* This will display a word, and 4 possible answers below it. The user will have to select the correct meaning of the word. *Game 2:Crossword* This game needs no introduction. In this, the user will be asked to solve a simple crossword puzzle which will be displayed on screen. The hints will be displayed below it. ___________________________________________________________________ I have never used the Phaser library before. However, with a little help and guidance, I am sure I will be able to pick it up fast. Any suggestions or complaints are welcome. -- Best Regards Kruti Joshi -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I want to participate in GSoC'15 and the project I am aiming for is TUX MIND EXERCISE.I have been following tux4kids for the last few weeks.I had look on tux paint as well as tux maths.I have worked with C, C++,python ,Java and also used game engine(unity,construct 2,sdl).I have a great passion for game development.I had secured 4th position(college) in game development in microsoft code.fun.do .I am deliberately looking forward for this project as I love game development from the school time. I had made a snake game in *c* in my school final project have a look ( https://github.com/amitj975/a-simple-snake-game-in-c). I had some doubts and some ideas related to the project:- *SOME TENTATIVE GAME IDEAS:-* *Attention-* 1.In this game colors name will be splash on the screen in different color like "GREEN".So Kid have to press button of green color NOT RED(in which color name was written) . So basically you have to pay attention on what is written Not on in which color it was written. 2. In this game there will *two road* per game in which obstacle will come randomly ,So user had to press '1' to alter the road. In next stage there will two game on the same screen now kid has to press '1' for first game and '2' for second game for altering the road of respective game.No. of game will increase with the stage. So basically you have to pay attention on multiple game at same time dynamically. *Memory-* 1. In this there will be a circular lock consist of concentric circular ring will be divided in four part on that a number will written which will be displayed for some time after that you have to arrange the ring number in proper order as shown by inner most sector. So basically you have to memories the number on each ring sector then you have to arrange it accordingly. 2.In this 4*4 matrix tiles will be there, As kid click on any tile picture of animal will appear then kid have to find pic of same animal under another tile.If two open tile doesn't have same picture some score will deducted. So basically you have to remember what was the animal under the tile on each time you open it ,so that when you click on same animal another time you can click on the previous remembered tile. *Reasoning-* 1. The famous rat cheese game in child comics with some twist's.In that there is a mesh of path in which many of that lead to dead end and only one way to lead to cheese.Now in 2nd stage only 3/4 of path will be visible now as you move further path will be visible to you in a circle with center at rat . So basically you have to find the path which lead to cheese. 2.In this,Small maths problem will be given and at the bottom of the screen four option will be there from kid had to click on write answer.There will be a clock counting 10 to 0.As the kid click on right answer points will be given according to clock at that time. So basically you have to strong command over math operation for quick reply. 3.Momentum game (*i am working on it from last few day*) in this game kid has to move a ball by using arrow key to strike another ball without touching the wall. Now the twist in the game is as you press left arrow key the ball start accelerating in left and now when you push right arrow key the ball acceleration will change but still it's speed will have the same direction (which will reduce over the time) and then it start moving in right direction (like pendulum) .So it became quiet interesting to control the ball in four direction.I am building that in unity game engine(*please tell me it is allowed or not*). *Speed-* 1. A normal car game of three roads on which various gift and obstacle will come and kid have to take gifts and prevent obstacles.The frequency of obstacles will increase with time.A *Similar game* i am working on it, Have a look on (https://github.com/amitj975/gifts-and-obstacles) in java . So basically you should have awesome reflexive action to deal with the fast moving obstacles. 2.In this a picture of bird will be there in the middle on which rocket will come from a direction(+ve x-axis) kid has to click on rocket to destroy the rocket. In second level rocket will come from both the direction(+ve and -ve x-axis) as level increases rocket will start coming from y-axis as well. So basically you have to be fast enough to destroy the rocket coming multiple directions. This are my basic tentative idea we could make some more twist according to our needs.And I am expecting that i could think of some more easy and interesting game till my proposal.If you find some game which is not up to the mark please let me know. *Doubts:-* 1. As written on idea's page that application should be cross platform,for that C*an i use any GAME ENGINE*,because it won't easy to create these number of game with multiple stage on every platform in that period of time.please reply as soon as possible so that i could prepare my action of plan according to that. Please tell me whether I am on right track or not. If organisation have some game ideas or having some restriction on built platform or on language.please tell me as soon as possible, I would be highly obliged.Kindly provide me some suggestions and guide me through this.

This is Google Summer of "Code", which is focused on "Open Source", so I'm going to say no Construct 2, would not qualify for use on this project.

I want to create a new game design with LAN multiplayer mode. I am experienced with network programming, SDL library in c++. My plans for the game is *PLAN1*: It will be a small car racing game where the kid has to cross certain no of opponents. To cross each opponent the kid has to type the word that comes with each opponent. The scores can be stored on the system in an encrypted file. And the typing speed will be made proportional to the car's speed. In multiplayer mode two kids can compete with each other. Both the kids will get the same set of words. *PLAN2*: It will be just an advanced version of existing tux type game. Here I will add new backgrounds like iceland, space, etc... and certain enemies will be there who are eger to eat tux. Each enemy will come with one word. If the word is typed correctly before the enemy eats tux then tux is saved. In multiplayer mode 2 opponents are each other's enemy who are eger to eat each other. Let the 1st opponent comes with a word. If the 2nd opponent types the word correctly before the 1st opponent eats the 2nd then the 2nd is saved. Then the reverse happens that is 2nd comes with a word to eat 1st one. The one who eats the other wins. *These are my plans and I can provide a detail structure of how to code it.* *Expecting response from mentors* -- *regards,* *D E B E S H M O H A N T Y* Student 2nd year CSE, IIIT Bhubaneswar ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Email*: debesh.india at gmail.com, B113013 at iiit-bh.ac.in *Contact No*: +91-7205459279 *Place*: Bhubaneswar ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I plan to make Android, IOS and Windows phone app. The game is made in ionic framework so the demo is already responsive. I have another idea around gamified learning that I would like to pitch Diagram labelling + demo link sauravtom.com/labelDiag + source code The Idea of this game is for the user to label words and phrases on an academic diagram correctly.

An idea struck to me, we can make a criteria 'All-rounder' which will include all the mentioned characteristics (speed,flexibility, reasoning, etc) in one. This category will include a complete city/jungle map and the player has to find his way out. 1.There will be hints available which will require logical reasoning. 2. Some paths to remember which will require memory. 3. speed to solve a particular puzzle in limited time. 4. Player has to be attentive as there can be distractions along with the clues. Many more features can be added. I looked into the details of the library and currently I am working on it specially in how to make a map.

I hope I will get a position in your team and we will have a very good summer! -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

My name is Csongor Ferenczi. I am a second year attendant at Budapest University of Technology and Economics as a Computer Engineering,B.Sc. student. I have learned C and currently learning C++ at the university. In my first semester I have made a rudimentary PacMan tribute in C language using SDL 1.2. (It was rudimentary due to the lack of time). I have used TortoiseSVN, but I will be new at GIT. I am sure it is not that hard to get used to it. I would like to *Migrate* *Tux* *Math**and**t4k_common** to **SDL**2.0* since I loved working with SDL1.2 and as I wrote the PacMan game, I have always wanted to begin working with SDL2.0.

I want to create a new game design with LAN multiplayer mode. I am experienced with network programming, SDL library in c++. My plans for the game is *PLAN1*: It will be a small car racing game where the kid has to cross certain no of opponents. To cross each opponent the kid has to type the word that comes with each opponent. The scores can be stored on the system in an encrypted file. And the typing speed will be made proportional to the car's speed. In multiplayer mode two kids can compete with each other. Both the kids will get the same set of words. *PLAN2*: It will be just an advanced version of existing tux type game. Here I will add new backgrounds like iceland, space, etc... and certain enemies will be there who are eger to eat tux. Each enemy will come with one word. If the word is typed correctly before the enemy eats tux then tux is saved. In multiplayer mode 2 opponents are each other's enemy who are eger to eat each other. Let the 1st opponent comes with a word. If the 2nd opponent types the word correctly before the 1st opponent eats the 2nd then the 2nd is saved. Then the reverse happens that is 2nd comes with a word to eat 1st one. The one who eats the other wins. *These are my plans and I can provide a detail structure of how to code it.* *Expecting response from mentors* -- *regards,* *D E B E S H M O H A N T Y* Student 2nd year CSE, IIIT Bhubaneswar ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Email*: debesh.india at gmail.com, B113013 at iiit-bh.ac.in *Contact No*: +91-7205459279 *Place*: Bhubaneswar ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I am a 2nd year undergraduate of Faculty of Computer Science of the National Research University "Higher School of Economics" (Russian Federation). Also I'm an Android developer, I have more than 1.5 years experience in it. I have just submitted a proposal about developing an Android application for TuxMath.

Love to solve problems in maths. Flexible attitude. I have a good team spirit. My father is a web developer, Mother is a Maths Teacher. Hence I have Strong skills in them. Quick learner. Good listener. Good understanding capability. IRC nickname: madhukiran Coding Skills: I use to code good in C++ and C. I use Ubuntu 10.4 OS with codeblocks IDE and also have experience in Python. I have been coding in C and C++ for the past 5 years from my school days. I have developed a Hotel management project in C++ 4 years ago. Yet I didn't do any bigger projects that matters, still very eager to work on big projects to showcase my skill. I'm not planning to do mobile / HTML development. If its necessary to do,I have basic knowledge in them and I'll make it. I'm good at both mathematics and coding skills to make this project. Joined in the Tuxmath-devel mailing list. Tux4Kids and Me: I have not worked with Tux4Kids before. I have not involved in any Open Source Develoment Projects in the past. I'm good at coding and maths skills and eager to showcase my skill to bring out a better product from Tuxmath. Project: I wish all the children should learn maths as easy as their native language. And I choose Tuxmath for the same. From my childhood days, I have been learning, exploring maths. I also teach maths to others. I have presented papers on graph theory and matrices. I have a good passion for maths. With that perspective I will be the best choice to do this product. In this summer, I have planned to invest 45h/week during GSoC. Yet I have my University exams during the course. As I can code in smarter way, it takes less time for me to code. At the start I'll be working 20h/week and work for 45h/week in future. As I use comments to document the source code, that will be easier to understand by any of the viewers. -- -Madhukiran NS From ug201310005 at iitj.ac.in Tue Mar 24 19:07:02 2015 From: ug201310005 at iitj.ac.in (Amit Jain) Date: Wed, 25 Mar 2015 00:37:02 +0530 Subject: [Tux4kids-discuss] Having doubts regarding game engine In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Sir, I have gone through the Phaser.io in that the coding part is *much similar to unity*.They have very similar *create and update* functions so i didn't find much difficulties to start with it.I liked grouping concept of Sprites and tilemaps of phaser.

In next stage there will two game on the same screen now kid has to press 'up' for first game and 'down' for second game for altering the road of respective game.No. of game will increase with the stage. So basically you have to pay attention on multiple game at same time dynamically. I am glad to inform you that i have implemented *partially* *functioning* game(ONLY SECOND STAGE) of the same in phaser.io.

I have experience in video game development, specially educational and puzzle based games. Developed around 5-6 free to play web based games. Most popular game is 'Electric Box 2', developed in ActionScript 3. I developed it from scratch with 16k lines of codes and finished in 3 months. This game was played over 10 millions of times all over the world. Due to the educational format of the games, it was played in some science classes in junior schools to test puzzle solving ability of the students. Here is a link to play the game: http://www.kongregate.com/games/TwinkleStarGames/electric-box-2 Other popular games include of 'Electric Box', 'Save the Island'. I have also experience in graphic programming in HTML5 canvas feature and javascript. I developed a project called 'Layout Builder' where user can create very complex seating layout of a theatre/stadium on the webpage. I created this project from scratch using HTML5+canvas+JS+JQuery. I have also developed a few android apps using Java that are in the google play store. I am also a graphic designer, can create beautiful SVG images/animation for games. In the link below I put some of the screenshots of a few game projects of mine where I did the graphics myself and also some screenshots of the 'Layout Builder' project. https://carousel.dropbox.com/photos/cc/5ljhTXvBTPJr8ss I am going to post a proposal for 'Tux4kids Mobile' with a few addition/modification that would start from scratch and will work for HTML/mobile environment in all OS/devices.

URL: From vata695 at gmail.com Thu Mar 26 10:23:59 2015 From: vata695 at gmail.com (Vaidehi Thete) Date: Thu, 26 Mar 2015 15:53:59 +0530 Subject: [Tux4kids-discuss] GSOC 2015 ideas Message-ID: Dear developers, I would like to work on the project "Developing Mobile Applications for Tux4Kids. I want develop the Tux4ME games for mobile platform using HTML/CSS/Javascript and PhoneGap. I have come up with the following ideas: (1):Reasoning: 1.Mental Math: This game improves the Math skills of children.It can be played in two modes: 1-Practice Mode: A simple mathematical statement will be provided with missing numbers.They have to add the missing numbers. 2-Game-Mode: The numbers will appear as asteriod blocks. The numbers will then be hidden. The player has to find all numbers in ascending order. Another variation of this game can be as follows: A mathematical statement in the forms of symbols and numbers will be flashed rapidly across the screen.The player has to remember these and calculate the net result . 2.Weight-Check: Find the relative weights of two objects. 3.A number of cubes will be displayed in a particular orientation. The player has to give the corrrect number of cubes displayed. (2):Speed: 1.Hammer'em all: This game tests the hand-eye coordination of the player. In each level, a bunch of jack-in-the boxes are displayed. Each of them randomly springs open after a certain time interval.The player has to click on each box in the order in which the boxes open as fast as possible. (3):Memory: 1.A group of pictures will be displayed. These pictures will then be hidden. The player has to identify the pictures which appered froma bigger pool of pictures. 2.A color-pattern will appear across a group of empty cells.The player then has to recreate the entire pattern.Initially, this pattern may start only with 2-3 blocks. As the player's score increases, the number of colors which appear also increase. I have developed a mobile-application using PhoneGap and a web application of the above game .This can be found in my github repository: https://github.com/Vada695/Color-Pattern-Match https://github.com/Vada695/Color-Pattern-Match-HTML-CSS-Javascript (4):Flexibility: 1. Same-color,Same-shape: In this game, two objects will be displayed for a short while. The player will be asked a question of the type: (a)Are the objects identical in shape? (b)Are the objects of the same color? The player has to correctly answer the question before the objects change. Another variant of this game could be as follows: A group of different objects are displayed for a short while, after which they are hidden. The player has to answer questions based on the objects shown. (a)How many objects are of red color? (b)What is the color of square symbols? (c)How many colors are present? (5):Attention: 1.Find the missing puzzle-piece: At the beginning of each question, a picture will be displayed for a few seconds. This will be followed by the same picture with a piece missing. The player has to identify the missing puzzle piece as quickly as possible. 2.Pair-up: The game arena will be flooded with multiple pictures. After a while these pictures will be closed.The player has to identify two similar pictures (it could be more than one pair) as quickly as possible. My Coding Skills: I know HTML/CSS and Javascript languages which are essential for web-design. I am also learning PhoneGap for Android. Here is the link to my Github repository to check my relevant projects: https://github.com/Vada695 I wanted to ask if building a mobile application of Tux4ME using HTML,CSS,Javascript and PhoneGap can be taken as a GSOC project. If yes, then should the app be compatible with various mobile polatforms? I will be uploading a proposal soon. I will be really grateful for any feedback.

I am pursuing my Bachelor of Technology Degree from Maharaja Surajmal Institute of Technology in Delhi. I have experience with Web Designing, and have recently delved into Ruby on Rails for some hackathons I took part in. I am also just beginning to play around with the Unity3d engine, which natively deploys to all platforms imaginable. I propose to enhance the tux4kids website using HTML5 and Javascripts to make it more interactive and catchy. After all, it is meant to be for kids, right? I would love to give it a complete overhaul, from front end to back end if desired. It would be a pleasure for me to help this organization with their website, which is very vanilla as of now. In the world we live in, presentation is of utmost importance, and a website is the face of an organization for the public.

I'm interested in this year's Google Summer of Code at Tux4Kids. I've been studying software engineering at Budapest University of Technology and Economics for 4 years now, I am getting my Bachelor's degree this semester. I have major experience in C, C++, C#, Java, Python, HTML, CSS. I have worked with JavaScript several times also, but I haven?t done a major project using it. I have worked with DirectX and QT for some bigger projects. I have not worked with Phaser Library yet, however I already started to dig into it and I don't reckon there would be any problems. I am submitting a proposal for the Tux4ME project, since I like writing games, working with and for people and using Phaser seems to be a fun way to do so.

I introduced my self in the very beginning. Got so much involved in the project, learning phaser and developing games that I forgot to post to the mailing list again. I am Kapil Bakshi, a third year Computer Science Student from India. Well, I have worked my heart out inorder to create an app which would help one to take his mind powers to an incredible level. Just a few days and this project has completely absorbed me . Now all I am waiting for is to turn each and every thing I have mentioned in my proposal into reality. People nowadays are very enthusiastic about going to gym to build a good physique and physical health. I believe that building one's mental is equally important . Hence I will develop A MEMORY GYM where people would work their mind out in order to make it more flexible, robust, fast and attentive. I have a very good experience in developing games and have developed many games in python, Unity and Phaser. Last year I developed a Social Network for Gaming for Windows. in which most of the games focused on memory, concentration and reflexes. I?ll use each and every bit of these experiences in order to BUILD AND ESTABLISH THIS MEMORY GYM....!!!!!!!!!!!! -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I'm Harish B doing my UG (Bachelor of Technology) degree in Information Technology in Pondicherry Engineering College. I am the son of a Mathematics teacher, so I had a basic interest in the subject from childhood. There are so many tricks and shortcuts that can make Math very easy and interesting and I intend to popularise that. I?m well versed with C, C++ and am highly interested in Speed Mathematics, Algebra and Calculus. I am planning to better my Python knowledge too so as to bring out an interactive way to exhibit Vedic Mathematics which is very popular in India. I?m a Math Wiz Kid Winner from International Mathematical Olympiad at School level and also undergone training in Abacus and Vedic Mathematics for three years and have a personal interest in solving many mathematical puzzles. Please do consider my project proposal and give me a chance by accepting to mentor me in the below mentioned project, which will benefit many kids across the globe and actually get them to like Math even if they hate it initially! :) *Project:* ? *Title:* VedMatics ? *Project Synopsis:* An interactive approach to the traditional and highly successful Speed Mathematics technique that is *Vedic Mathematics.* ? *Aim:* To make Math simple and easy through various tricks and intricacies from the sacred Vedic Mathematics of the ancient Indians. To simplify these brilliant traditional techniques on a global scale that all can benefit ? *Scope*: Math can be more fun by creating game-like interactive learning apps which not only teach these valued traditional techniques but are also a source of entertaining and amusing puzzles for all age ranges ? *Details:* I intend to bring about basic ideas even like the easy hand method for multiplication of two 5+ numbers using both hands like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ieX9UlD087c and making it in an easy interactive Android App or phonegap across platform app to introduce more complex methods like the above mentioned simple example. ? *Schedule:* I will start tabulating interesting Vedic Math Ideas and tricks right from April 9, right after my college practical exams are over. In May, I shall start coding them into apps by mid-month as the theory exams will be going on. But by May 3rd week my summer holidays will start and I shall work full fledged on the coding.

In my idea list i talked about a pay attention game as:- In this game there will *two road* per game in which obstacle will come randomly ,So user had to press 'up' to alter the road. In next stage there will two game on the same screen now kid has to press 'up' for first game and 'down' for second game for altering the road of respective game.No. of game will increase with the stage. So basically you have to pay attention on multiple game at same time dynamically. I am glad to inform you that i have implemented *partially* *functioning* game(ONLY SECOND STAGE) of the same in phaser.io. Although it not well designed till but still you can play the game.Most probably i will build full game till 29th of this month. https://github.com/amitj975/GSoc15_PayAttention and please find the attachment for the pics of the same. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
