Hi<br />
 <br />
Thanks for the feedback. Please see responses below:<br />

 <br />
The images are not meant to be modified since it contains material and<br />
information about health and we want to maintain the integrity of the story to<br />
the information displayed. All text is rendered as fonts and strings and a<br />
future release with Pootle annotation will be provided in order to allow<br />
translation and localisation.<br />

 <br />
We will change the front end so that the menu is more obvious and with working<br />
buttons.<br />

 <br />
When you say "one tester couldn't do it" do you mean, was not able to work out<br />
how to play the game or found the concept too difficult/distressing to deal<br />
with? The idea of the game is to impress that mosquitoes can find their hosts in<br />
the dark and that exposed limbs are most vulnerable.<br />
 <br />

malaria<br />
 <br />
In the next release we aim to have disease maps of all endemic countries. We<br />
won't have a yes/no format but more a graphical representation of where<br />
P.falciparum is more likely per continent/endemic country. The answer is not<br />
straight forward yes/no so a coloured map would be more useful.<br />
 <br />
>I hope there can be more in a series of health interactive stories<br />
We plan to make more content on hygiene and communicable diseases. This was our<br />
first attempt at Python/Sugar but we hope to make more interactive content.<br />
 <br />
Thank you for your comments and feedback.<br />
