It is released under the GPL, but you are welcome just the same....

I would suggest the following for starters:
1. Establish if it can run out-of-the-box on the XO, as is.

2. For a slightly simpler version, there is also an ascii version that I
wrote for a deaf-blind school.  This is essentially TuxWordSmith without
PyGame or wxWidgets to complicate things.  Thus, to understand the
algorithms it would be most simple to study TWS-ASCII (
http://www.asymptopia.org).  Note that it only plays in English, but that is
easily changed by wrapping unicode characters in an ord() function.  (small
detail)...

The code has been under continuous development for several years, now, but,
unfortunately, not the documentation.  The only docs i've got are fairly
out-of-date.  I believe University of Queensland, AU, has an old copy of
tuxwordsmith.pdf on their website, somewhere... can't find link offhand,
though.
