Hi Ryan, <br><br>There is always a big need for developers for Sugar. We always welcome and appreciate the help! There are several ways to develop in Sugar.<br>You can go the Etoys route. For already experienced game developers this would be a very low entry. To develop a Sugar activity, you can probably <br>
start with James Simmon's book:<br><br><a href="http://en.flossmanuals.net/ActivitiesGuideSugar/">http://en.flossmanuals.net/ActivitiesGuideSugar/</a><br><br>Phython background will help. You can make an activity using Pygame: <a href="http://www.pygame.org/news.html">http://www.pygame.org/news.html</a><br>
There's also the Karma project which relies on HTML5 and javascript. <br><br>I know that there are plenty of Flash developers out there but currently it is very hard to integrate it to <br>Sugar. <br><br>I will be teaching a 2-day course on Etoys at APC from April 19th-20th. Please let me know if you're interested in attending. I would like to talk to you more about creating synergy between our groups. <br>
<br>Regards,<br>Cherry <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Apr 8, 2010 at 9:06 PM, Ryan Sumo <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:endlessthirteen@yahoo.com">endlessthirteen@yahoo.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">

Sometime last year I'd talked with one of your members (first name Paolo, last name lost to my awful memory) about he possibility of getting game developers to make educational games for the XO. I never had the time to follow up on this but I was wondering if there have ever been similar initiatives around the world, or if you guys would be interested in working with us? </div>
