Hey Math4! (attn Karlie)<div><br></div><div> The following is a list of vital items team Fortune Hunter is in need of. We are awaiting theses things in order to progress the project as a whole and would love any and all assistance.</div>
<div><br></div><div> I'm working to compile a very specific tasks list (and will update them as tickets on wikis as well) and will send that when I hammer out all of the details. What would actually be extremely helpful would be some programmers. Currently, the team is lacking any experts in that realm and to be honest, they would probably save us a whole lot of time and help us progress much further to push and get more done. I would absolutely love to get Fortune Hunter and Fortune Maker out of the sandbox and start getting them localized. Here are the things we are waiting on before we do another release:</div>
<div><br></div><div> Maybe would be helpful to just mention Fortune Hunter is an educational rpg/adventure dungeon styled game (aka you travel through dungeons, defeat enemies, level up, equip items, etc all while learning math!) and Fortune Maker is a sister application that allows custom content creation for Fortune Hunter to use. wiki for both: <a href="http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Fortune_Hunter">http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Fortune_Hunter</a></div>
<div><br></div><div> Fortune Hunter 3.0 and Fortune Maker 1.0 are both available as experimental on <a href="http://activities.sugarlabs.org">activities.sugarlabs.org</a></div><div><br></div><div> ~ Fortune Hunter release 4.0 ~</div>
<div> - finish porting over old code to new code (for those reading who don't know, we completed a prototype version of the game in python prior to rebuilding it with improved code. Both projects are located in the same repository on <a href="http://git.sugarlabs.org">git.sugarlabs.org</a>)</div>
<div> -need lose condition</div><div> -we currently do not have a lose condition (you get defeated by enemies when your HP reaches 0) in our revised code. The structure exists in the original project and needs to be copied or rewritten to utilize the new engine.</div>
<div> -need merchant system</div><div> -the merchant system is a shop used to buy and sell in-game goods via a bargaining system. Again, it exists in the old project and needs to be integrated with the new code.</div>
<div> -need door slider puzzles</div><div> -we are lacking puzzles in the new code as well. We had build slider puzzles on some locked doors that must be solved to gain access. Code exists and needs to be integrated over.</div>
<div> -match content</div><div> -once the above-mentioned are complete, we just need to compare the two versions and get them to match as far as content goes.</div><div><br></div><div> This would essentially complete the release qualifications we were aiming for by the holidays. We would also love to have the following done by then as well, but they are not essential.</div>
<div><br></div><div> -Fortune Maker update (tasks still need to be broken down, but if anyone is interested in the meantime, i will work with them)</div><div> -update GUI (art)</div><div> -improve functionality</div>
<div> -successfully output Fortune Hunter maps/dungeons</div><div> -Fortune Hunter integretion</div><div> -successfully read and generate content created by Fortune Maker</div><div><br></div>
<div> One other thing we are lacking is professional artists. If anyone is interested in this, head on over to our wiki @ <a href="http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Fortune_Hunter">http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Fortune_Hunter</a> and go to the Game Elements tab, where you can see what the art style is and a list of what needs art yet. Likewise, download and play the game.</div>
<div><br></div><div> Thanks any and all for the help in advance! Much appreciated and I look forward to working with some more peoples ; )</div><div><br></div><div>~Jon (KnightMearh)</div><div><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

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

<br>
Ok, that initial list gives us something to work with.<br>
<br>
Do you have anything more specific than<br>
<a href="https://fedorahosted.org/fortune_hunter/roadmap" target="_blank">https://fedorahosted.org/fortune_hunter/roadmap</a> to guide your release<br>
cycle?<br>
<br>
Can we narrow it down and start working out exactly what's blocking you<br>
from releasing by the end of 2010?<br>
<br>
I'm aiming for the Pythonista's meeting tonight at RIT. If you'll be<br>
there maybe we can break out and begin roughing out a more comprehensive<br>
schedule and figure out what talent is needed to hit your benchmarks.<br>
