Dear all, Thank you for your comments on the malaria game. I'm new to sugar and well python/pygame as a whole so your feedback is appreciated- I'm a bit of a java person so any technical tips are appreciated. I have uploaded the code to: git://git.sugarlabs.org/freefrommalaria/mainline.git Please forgive my poor "python-ness" in terms of structuring the code :/
"It basically worked, although the first game didn't seem to run" Did it crash or was the instruction screen still there? Did you hover the mouse over the canvas? It should come up with a black screen with a small window following a mosquito where the mouse is pointed. I will change the timer so that the instruction screen goes straight into the game. "it wasn't clear how to play the second game." Thanks for this, again I think the way the screens are timed means that the instruction screen is being hidden. I will try to fix this. Hopefully the mosquito swatting worked? "There was an X error part-way through noted in the log file and journal entry didn't save properly." I think this may have something to do with the pygame event loop not terminating properly on exit. I am really stuck on this one! Perhaps someone may spot clues in my code? Due to my lack of skills with pygame I was not able to override read_file and write_file correctly so it will not save on exit. However it should save when the save and load buttons are clicked on the taskbar. I hope this is worked for you. "Out of curiosity, who is behind this project? An organization/university?" We are called WorldClassProject. http://worldclassproject.org.uk/ and are based at a UK university. Although, we aim to become a "official" non-profit organization as we get more content and support. We have a few illustrators and sometimes get advice from some NGO's. "It would be great to also educate about the importance of avoiding still water (a breeding site for mosquitos)" - That is excellent advice! I will add a new screen at the end to this effect. In the next release I want to add maps of Malaria endemic regions and think it would be great to add information about dengue. Thank you once again, if anyone can offer any advice on my code -without suggesting a complete re-write :) - I would be grateful! Thanks Dev World Class Project
