[Tux4kids-discuss] GSOC 2014

[David Bruce]

That sounds intriguing - I'm not aware of anything like that.

On a slightly different note, I wonder if there would be a role for a
Newtonian mechanics game that would be largely an Angry Birds clone, with
more explicit display and manipulation of the equations and variables
involved (acceleration, velocities, angles, mass, force, etc.) to make it
more educational (my daughter is in high school now ;)

Regards to Aaditya, Deepak, Pere, and everyone carrying on the effort!  I
really would love to be a more active participant but "real life" doesn't
allow me the time to do so for the immediate future.
