However, we definitely need that eye on our code for the upcoming semester!  Most of the code isn't OLPC laptop-ready, since we're trying to keep the code as simple as possible for our novices.

These templates for individual types of games come with "cookbook recipes" for how to add features and functionality.  The templates and cookbook are in the final stages of tweaking, and our pilot program using them will begin in late January.
