[OLPC-Games] Game framework development

[Tom]

I just saw this while going through my back email. I'd like to point you 
to my Ren'Py framework, available at http://www.renpy.org/. Several of 
the projects made with it are educational, such as:

http://www.renpy.org/wiki/renpy/Ren'Py%20Games%202#Galilei%20Planetarium

and

http://www.renpy.org/wiki/renpy/Ren'Py%20Games%202#Ross%20and%20his%20Cool%20Trip%20to%20School

It's not for every game, of course, but if you need help getting things 
going on a particular platform, please let me know.
