1. Project name : Asteroids
2. Existing website, if any : http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Asteroids
3. One-line description : version of the Asteroids game, improved
for XO play
4. Longer description : Derived from Ian Mallett's Pygame
implementation of Asteroids (see link below). Extensively modified to be
a)suitable for use as basis of other physics games, b)code factors out
speed issues allowing it to be better tuned to the XO, c)code reworked
to better reflect OLPC Python coding guidelines.
5. URLs of similar projects : http://www.geometrian.com/Programs.php
(Ian Mallet's original). Loads of other Asteroids implementations.
6. Committer list
Please list the maintainer (lead developer) as the first entry. Only
list
developers who need to be given accounts so that they can commit to your
project's code repository, or push their own. There is no need to list
non-committer developers.

If any developers don't have their SSH2 keys on the web, please
attach them
to the application e-mail.
7. Preferred development model
[X] Central tree. Every developer can push his changes directly to the
project's git tree. This is the standard model that will be
familiar to
CVS and Subversion users, and that tends to work well for most
projects.
[ ] Maintainer-owned tree. Every developer creates his own git tree, or
multiple git trees. He periodically asks the maintainer to look
at one
or more of these trees, and merge changes into the maintainer-owned,
"main" tree. This is the model used by the Linux kernel, and is
well-suited to projects wishing to maintain a tighter control on
code
entering the main tree.
If you choose the maintainer-owned tree model, but wish to set up some
shared trees where all of your project's committers can commit
directly,
as might be the case with a "discussion" tree, or a tree for an
individual
feature, you may send us such a request by e-mail, and we will set
up the
tree for you.
8. Set up a project mailing list:
[ ] Yes, named after our project name
[ ] Yes, named ______________________
[X] No
When your project is just getting off the ground, we suggest you eschew
a separate mailing list and instead keep discussion about your project
on the main OLPC development list. This will give you more input and
potentially attract more developers to your project; when the volume of
messages related to your project reaches some critical mass, we can
trivially create a separate mailing list for you.
If you need multiple lists, let us know. We discourage having many
mailing lists for smaller projects, as this tends to
stunt the growth of your project community. You can always add more
lists
later.
9. Commit notifications
[ ] Notification of commits to the main tree should be e-mailed to
the list
we chose to create above
[ ] A separate mailing list, <projectname>-git, should be created
for commit
notifications
[X] No commit notifications, please
10. Shell accounts
As a general rule, we don't provide shell accounts to developers unless
there's a demonstrated need. If you have one, please explain here, and
list the usernames of the committers above needing shell access.
11. Translation
[X] Set up the laptop.org Pootle server to allow translation commits
to be made
[ ] Translation arrangements have already been made at _______________
12. Notes/comments:
This project already exists as a svn tree. I'd like to move it to the
OLPC git.
