Two things - <br>
1 - how about we move this to the math4 mailing list so we don't have
to keep including people on the CC? If you don't have an account,
visit <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/fourthgrademath">http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/fourthgrademath</a> to sign up<br>
<br>
2 - Ankit - do you need an XO? You can develop within Virtual Box, but
I do have an XO I could send you. <br>

</div>
<div>I thought we had some step by step posted, but I shall look and
write one up soon if not. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If you would like to run the game on the XO, there are two
methods available. In either case, you need to have pygame installed.
To do this, you must go to the terminal activity on your XO and type
"yum install pygame". This will go through and install it. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The next thing you need to do after cloning our git repo is to
type in terminal "python path/file.py", in this case "python
path/mainline/MAFH2/MafhActivity.py". The game should then run. There
is another method called symlinking where you can tell the XO to make
it appear as an activity on the home screen in order to run it, but I
forget how to do this (CCing JLew, our programmer, so he can explain if
you need, or better explain what I am saying). The current-working
version of our project is under redesign and so there are few missing
pieces (like the in-game shop) currently.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If you simply would like to just see the game (an older version
with more content for a better understanding), you can download it from <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/addon/4272">http://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/addon/4272</a> on
your XO from the browser. Currently, we are trying to get our new
version to match the old one. In this case, the game will install as an
activity that you launch from your home screen.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We also have a second activity called Fortune Maker, which is a
content creation tool. It is a level editor that lets you save and use
what you create with Fortune Hunter. You can download that here - <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/addon/4274">http://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/addon/4274</a>.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If you would like to run the game on your computer, you still
need to download pygame (and python). (I can help you with this process
if you'd like, but it is different depending on your OS) Then in the
terminal, type "python path/file.py" just like I mentioned earlier.
This will launch the game.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Please note that you must have python version 2.6.x (on XO or
computer) in order for everything to work properly. Python 3.1.x+
changed a few functions around that causes the game to not run.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Okay, I think I covered it all. Please email me again with more
questions if you have them. Sorry if it was a lot to take in, just
trying to be clear ; )</div>

<div>Hi Jon<br>
<br>
Yoroshikuonegaishimasu.<br>
<br>
Thank you for the warm welcome. Is there any wiki which tells how to
build the application? I diligently searched the links Karlie sent me
but could not find.<br>
I want to know the perquisites for building the application and the
command so that I can build and see what it is all about.<br>
I guess this is imperative and there must be some page which lists all
this , I just have not been able to find it out.<br>
<br>
Karlie, Thank you for taking time out to sending mail to Mel. I really
appreciate it, this is surreal :). Before I join something big, I would
like to take small steps first and contribute to this project first.
One project at a time. Once I get hang of how things work in FOSS, it
would be a smoother ride I guess.<br>
<br>
Thanks everyone.<br>

<div>Welcome to the community, Ankit!</div>

</div>
<div> hajimemashite! As Karlie mentioned, Remy or myself (or
anyone else here @RIT) would be more than happy to answer questions or
point you in the right direction regarding any of the projects. I've
been involved with FOSS for just over a year now and helped many
projects along the way. My main work is Fortune Hunter - an adventure
RPG game that teaches math. We are in dire need of some programming,
especially since our team fluctuates from term to term. So, if that
project looks good to you, we'd love to have you. Otherwise there is a
variety of other games and software that could use attention as well.</div>
<div> Some of my background: I am a Video Game Design &
Development major and I have a minor in Japanese Language & Culture
as well as Psychology. Python is a good language to add to your skills,
especially working in open source, so I wish you luck!</div>
<div> Again, please feel free to email me for anything.</div>

there<br>
<br>
Thank you for your invaluable help on IRC. To be honest, I wanted to
expand my skillset beyond C and C++ and started learning Python a week
ago.<br>
A project in Python is ideal for me.<br>
<br>
Ah, since you have been so nice and kind to me, I think you ought to
know some things about me. I am a programmer in Tokyo. I used student
in broad sense, not the definition that I go to school. <br>
<br>
Anyway, I have done these things:<br>
<br>
1) Cloned the repository <br>
2) Filled out the form to get subscribed to mailing list<br>
3) Installed Pygame on my Ubuntu machine<br>
4) Went through the docs/wiki to get a gist and feel of the project.<br>
<br>
Thank you for letting me be part of this project. It sure looks nice
and since it is related to education, I believe I will be helping
somebody in my own little way.<br>
<br>
I look forward to the next steps.<br>
<br>
Regards<br>

It was my pleasure to help answer questions about getting involved with
FOSS. <br>
<br>
I'd like you to meet Jonathan Meschino of the Fortune Hunter team and
Remy DeCausemaker who helps coordinate FOSS efforts at RIT. <br>
<br>
Either of these guys can help you get involved with any of the projects
going on at RIT. <br>
<br>
Also, don't forget about <a moz-do-not-send="true" rel="nofollow"
href="http://openhatch.org" target="_blank">openhatch.org</a> for
other projects you can get
involved with around the world. <br>
