Hi Faisal,<br>
<br>
Yes I have clear vision of activity and action plan for it. It will be<br>
2D games development IDE with OpenGL based game engine and Pascal<br>
programming interface. The tool will have own portal page where kids<br>
share games,tutorials and do collabs. The portal idea is get involved<br>
all age kids to games development. As example a youngest XO users<br>
might submit graphics and music resources and collab with older game<br>
programmers. As motivation there will be contests and more fun stuff.<br>
<br>
More information how this activity will be useful to OLPC I will<br>
submit using Contributors Program page.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Gintautas<br>
