<br><br>Hi Andreas,<br><br>I am also a student, and interested in the same projects, a competition start here :), I am just kidding pleased to meet you.<br><br>
<div><div class="Ih2E3d">>> What benefit do you think does "Auto-detection of <b>"typeable" characters</b>
via SDL or native OS >> APIs."? Actually, I don't know why the typeable
characters need to be detected, as the words >> and therefore the
characters, which are to be typed, seem to be hardcoded depending on
the >> language setting chosen. Are you thinking about generating random
characters (not real >>words as in the current game types) which are to
be typed in some additional game type?<br><br></div>My Opinion is when writing a specific theme for your language, you need to configure a file called keyboard.lst that map the key to the key board and determine this key in which row e.g<br>
A|2<br>Q|1<br>Z|3<br>and this hint act as aid for the player like if you get A it is the second row.<br><br>the aim of this idea is to make the game detects this directly.<div class="Ih2E3d"><br><br>>> The other ideas seem clear to me. I would like to work on _all_
the ideas proposed for TuxType, >> because none of the ideas themselves
seems adequate for a 3-months-work.<br><br></div>I think I'm with you in this, but you also should consider testing, and code cleanup in your time, also I think you could suggest more enhancement and other projects.<br>
<br>
<br>I think about starting soc2008 discussion but I just want to confirm from mentors if the mailing list is the suitable to discuss them or they prefer IRC, myself i have some suggestion could i start it here.<br><br></div>
Best regards,<br>asayed<br>
