The Flash Platform is the easiest way to do all of that. I haven't
seen anything that can tie up interactive media as easy with scalable
complexity like Flash has.

Dear all,
We're in the middle of day 1 of XOCamp. You can take part in a few ways; we are

* on IRC in the #olpc channel on freenode.net.
