At the time he was saying something about giving out OLPCs to any developer that wanted to make a game for it. Does this offer still stand, or do you have any other programs like this? Ultimately I think it would be great to have a little competition of some sort for local game devs to make educational games, but to be honest I'm still tired from organizing the manila game jam last January. Perhaps there are ways we can integrate it into upcoming events with GDAP/IGDA.</div><div><br></div><div>I'm very interested in knowing more about Cherry's course on etoys, though I'm not sure
what what you mean by APC (Asia Pacific College?). I'm actually not a programmer myself but I would be happy to spread the word to our members about it. <br> </div><div>Cheers,</div>Ryan Sumo<br>freelance artist/IGDA Manila chairperson<br><span>portfolio - <a target="_blank" href="http://ryansumo.carbonmade.com/">http://ryansumo.carbonmade.com/</a></span><br><span>blog - <a target="_blank" href="http://geekofalltrades.wordpress.com/">http://geekofalltrades.wordpress.com/</a></span><br><span>IGDA Manila forum - <a target="_blank" href="http://tinyurl.com/igdamanila">http://tinyurl.com/igdamanila</a></span><div><br></div><div style="font-family:times new roman, new york, times, serif;font-size:12pt"><br><div style="font-family:times new roman, new york, times, serif;font-size:12pt"><font size="2" face="Tahoma"><hr size="1"><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">From:</span></b> Cherry Withers <cwithers@ekindling.org><br><b><span

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 rel="nofollow" target="_blank" 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 rel="nofollow" target="_blank" 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>

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>
