[math4] FourthGradeMath Digest, Vol 16, Issue 3

[Jonathan Meschino (RIT Student)]

Hi Karlie,

         Well our immediate goals are to finish porting over the first
iteration of the game into the new code, catch the new version up entirely,
and then make a release. We could surely use help from coders. The major
items left are to a) rebuild the merchant system (in-game shop), b) recreate
a game-over state, c) rebuild the puzzle system (slider puzzles are what we
had, but more puzzle types would be awesome in the future).  After we finish
rounding off the new code, we'd like to contact some translators at Sugar to
get the game into spanish and any other languages that they are able.
Spanish is the primary solely because we could begin receiving large
feedback due to the number of end users. In addition, we'd like to start
continuing work on Fortune Maker, a sister application to FH. It is a
content creation tool where you may build your own levels, enemies, and
story. From there, we have a lot of ground to cover in the realms of code,
art, design, testing, debugging, pretty much everything. So if anyone is
interested, please contact me and I'm glad to bring you up to speed!  Our
wiki is located at http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Fortune_Hunter - there you
will find the repo and anything you'd want to know about Fortune Hunter and
Fortune Maker.

Thanks,
   Jon
