[10:42:52] [I have joined #sugar]
[11:55:33] <walterbender> heemanshu1_, Tony Anderson is the lead on that one
[11:57:48] <heemanshu1_> ok thanks you walterbender
[11:58:19] <heemanshu1_> I mailed Tony Anderson about that Hope he will reply soon
[12:11:38] <SandCastleKid> Any GSoC mentors here?
[12:15:09] <SandCastleKid> Please reply, I've been coming here everyday but haven't received a response so far.
[12:16:04] <walterbender> SandCastleKid, what is your question?
[12:16:21] <SandCastleKid> I need to discuss my proposal for GSoC.
[12:16:30] <walterbender> sure
[12:16:42] <walterbender> what are you working on?
[12:16:46] <SandCastleKid> Give me a minute please
[12:16:52] <SandCastleKid> I'll show you my proposal
[12:17:13] <SandCastleKid> Its a game that helps kids learn mathematics
[12:17:55] <walterbender> SandCastleKid, sounds promising
[12:18:06] <SandCastleKid> Do you have an iDevice?
[12:18:36] <SandCastleKid> walterbender:
[12:18:46] <walterbender> no
[12:18:52] <walterbender> no i anything, alas
[12:19:07] <SandCastleKid> Okay, I'll show you the YouTube video
[12:19:27] <SandCastleKid> walterbender: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcF-MheFxI4&feature=youtu.be&a
[12:19:40] <walterbender> .me looks
[12:19:44] <SandCastleKid> This is my game called Math Quest
[12:19:51] <SandCastleKid> Already released on iOS
[12:20:09] <SandCastleKid> Android version almost completed and to be released in a couple of days
[12:22:04] <walterbender> SandCastleKid, not sure I get it... the math part, I mean
[12:22:21] <SandCastleKid> Okay wait
[12:22:30] <SandCastleKid> Can I send you an Android APK?
[12:22:41] <SandCastleKid> You can run it on your Android phone
[12:22:54] <SandCastleKid> The basic idea is
[12:23:05] <SandCastleKid> You have to collect numbers and calculate your own score
[12:23:20] <walterbender> SandCastleKid, I'll try it..
[12:23:26] <SandCastleKid> Positive, negative, multiplicative and division numbers
[12:23:39] <SandCastleKid> And apply the operations accordingly and calculate your score
[12:23:45] <walterbender> sounds like lots of fun but little in terms of thinking about math
[12:23:48] <SandCastleKid> And enter it at the end of the game
[12:24:12] <SandCastleKid> Yeah, the target audience are little kids
[12:24:18] <SandCastleKid> Learning basic mathematics
[12:25:33] <SandCastleKid> I'll send you an APK but it would be best if you tried the iOS version because the Android version isn't complete yet
[12:25:55] <walterbender> SandCastleKid, I can try to find someone with an iPhone over the weekend
[12:26:46] <walterbender> but SandCastleKid, it would be great if math (and mathematical thinking) somehow played a more direct role in the game play itself
[12:26:53] <SandCastleKid> walterbender: Okay, go to http://mathquestgame.com
[12:27:10] <SandCastleKid> walterbender: I'm sending you the Android version as well, what's your email?
[12:27:29] <walterbender> I could imagine integrating concepts such as greater or less than or even or odd to help determine which path to take...
[12:27:41] <walterbender> walter AT sugarlabs DOT org
[12:28:09] <SandCastleKid> walterbender: Your idea sounds good, this game was just a sample.
[12:28:39] <SandCastleKid> walterbender: For my GSoC project, of course I'll be developing something more geared towards education and less towards the gameplay itself.
[12:28:55] <SandCastleKid> walterbender: But is the overall idea okay?
[12:29:15] <walterbender> SandCastleKid, games and fun, always a fine idea
[12:29:43] <SandCastleKid> walterbender: Okay, I'll be submitting my proposal in a while
[12:29:55] <walterbender> looking forward to reading it
[12:29:58] <SandCastleKid> walterbender: Do I need to submit wireframes as well?
[12:30:26] <walterbender> no... but something to give us a sense of what your technical and pedagogical goals are
[12:31:17] <SandCastleKid> walterbender: Okay
[12:31:45] <SandCastleKid> walterbender: I'll be sending you the APK and 2 videos of the game shortly.
[12:31:54] <walterbender> OK
[12:42:23] <SandCastleKid> walterbender: Please check your email.
[12:42:38] <walterbender> nothing yet
[12:42:44] * walterbender checks the spam folder
[12:43:31] <walterbender> got it
[12:43:45] <SandCastleKid> walterbender: Hmm okay.
[12:48:10] <SandCastleKid> walterbender: I sent you the videos as well.
[12:48:27] <walterbender> OK. I'll take a look
[13:28:12] <valentina`> hola

[14:36:51] <walterbender> sammiester, haven't seen him in a few days
[14:37:03] <walterbender> I've been really busy so not on line as much :P
[14:37:27] <sammiester> yeah
[14:37:36] <sammiester> so how is the turtle going??
[14:42:33] <walterbender> sammiester, good... more bug fixes... getting reasonably solid
[14:43:23] <sammiester> good to hear
[14:43:32] <sammiester> so how about the sugar0.014
[14:43:38] <sammiester> 104
[14:47:13] <martasd> walterbender: hi, Walter . are you planning to stop by libre planet this weekend? i will be giving a talk on sunday afternoon about my experience in Nepal. Would be happy to see you again!
[14:49:04] <walterbender> I'll be there all day Saturday, but not Sunday. alas
[15:20:18] <martasd> i'll be around tomorrow as well, so see you then!
[15:24:48] <walterbender> +1
[15:46:51] <AndroUser> hi
[15:50:43] <AndroUser> hi walter
[15:51:17] <AndroUser> please i have a problem downloading my development environment
[15:52:21] <walterbender> AndroUser, what sort of problem?
[15:53:30] <AndroUser> i have low internet connectivity
[15:54:43] <AndroUser> is there a way to pull resources fast
[15:59:31] <bogdan_s> Hello! Where is the python code exported for turtle blocks?
[15:59:56] <walterbender> AndroUser, that is a tough one.
[16:00:28] <walterbender> bogdan_s, export to the Journal (sugar version) and file system (gnome version)
[16:01:43] <walterbender> AndroUser, you can comment out the web libraries... you don't really need them
[16:01:48] <walterbender> that'll save some
[16:10:10] <AndroUser> kkk i will do that
[16:13:26] <designviacode> walterbender: what sort of plugins are expected for the cordova sugar project .. ?
[16:13:58] <walterbender> designviacode, I would think camera, mic, accelerometer
[16:15:47] <designviacode> walterbender: what would be your thoughts for a javascript code editor plugin for the cordova project..
[16:15:50] <designviacode> ??
[16:16:16] <walterbender> designviacode, let me wrap my head around the idea
[16:20:24] <designviacode> what i have in mind is a sandbox javascript editor more focussed towards a Tablet, that would edit and show a live preview of your Javascript Code
[16:20:53] <designviacode> could that be something useful for the community , which i should pursue.. ?
[16:26:33] <bogdan_s> I see there in the app "save as python" i click on it and i find the file but how to open to see the code in it? ^^
[16:27:42] <walterbender> bogdan_s, you can open the file in Pippy
[16:28:19] <walterbender> designviacode, sounds interesting... but maybe discuss with Puneet?
[16:29:17] <designviacode> thank you walterbender :)
[16:38:21] <bogdan_s> Ok, i know i can open it with pippy but my question is what path in the mounted file system to look for the file ?
[16:38:48] <AndroUser> walter bender please can you get a tutorial on how to build the development environmenr
