Re: [Sugar-devel] A bot activity for sugar

Sounds like cool idea. Just some issues you may run into. IIRC, most of pyglet uses OpenGL, which would require hardware that most of what Sugar runs on doesn't have (XOs, netbooks) or Mesa, which may not be fast enough. Pygame is already a Sugar dependency, but combining pygame with pyGTK in a

Geza, Interesting proposal, and certainly a useful Activity to have. Keep in mind though, that Sugar Labs is focusing on development tools and core features more than Activities for this summer. You may also want to take a look at Video Chat [1] for an example of an Activity that had similar goa

Indeed. To bring things back to Pippy, Box2D and pyBox2D are both licensed zlib. Fulfilling the terms of the license is a simple as including http://code.google.com/p/pybox2d/source/browse/trunk/LICENSE somewhere in the .xo. Unfortunately, it seems none of the Activities using PyBox2D are curren

PyBox2D is included locally in the activity, just as it is in Physics, x2o, Bridge, and other Activities that use physics. Though, that is ~2.5mB of duplicated libraries for each. Nirav On 1/20/09, Jonas Smedegaard wrote: > -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- > Hash: SHA1 > > On Tue, Jan 20, 200

Count me in as well. This is a wonderful idea and could very well be what is necessary to make the wish list of Activities proposals real. Nirav On Sun, Jan 11, 2009 at 5:09 AM, Arjun Sarwal wrote: > +1 > I am in too. > > Arjun > > On Sun, Jan 11, 2009 at 3:02 PM, Tomeu Vizoso wrote: >> >> I b

Students working on Sugar related projects don't have to be restricted to Sugar Labs. Two GSoC 2008 students worked on OLPC projects through other mentoring organizations; one through Python and the other I can't recall. If there aren't enough OLPC specific projects, it would still make sense for

Chris, We're working on switching from gstreamer to the pygame camera module. Gstreamer in 8.2 had some changes that broke the pipeline Colors was using. While it would have been possible to change the pipeline, switching to pygame will be easier/better for both the videopaint and photo snap parts
