Here's a quick explanation of PLE. It is a suite of three minigames that play with categories of English flashcards, featuring a spaced repetition algorithm (for presenting cards with a frequency in relation to how challenging flashcards are for each learner). Each game can run independently. They are implemented on top of Pygame with the awesome Spyral game engine (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://platipy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/">http://platipy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/</a>). Spyral (and Espeak) are cleverly embedded into one GTK2 program that offers instructions, a card browser and the spaced repetition challenge. Porting to Sugarizer might be some work, I can imagine breaking this down to 4 tasks, each about 4 days. The question would be, what game framework to use in Javascript? How important is to support the XO with the Sugarizer app? Does the HTML5 Canvas work ok on the XO? Finally I question the need to teach Javascript. I am releasing a tool for developing with Python in the browser (and for it). It turns out it is possible to compile Python into Javascript these days and get decent performance. There are <a href="http://vivapython.com/articulos/10-razones-para-elegir-python.htmlhttp://vivapython.com/articulos/10-razones-para-elegir-python.html">many reasons</a> to teach Python instead. Anyway, so since I think it might be useful in its current state, please review the following repository that I crafted: <a href="https://github.com/somosazucar/python-web">https://github.com/somosazucar/python-web</a> While <a href="it%20is%20written%20in%20Python">it is written in Python</a>, it currently deploys directly to the browser (in the demo to Github pages): <a href="https://somosazucar.github.io/python-web/">https://somosazucar.github.io/python-web/</a> The demo features Hexi, one such game engine and Vibrant.Js, because I can never pick colors. I am available to help with any work in direction building tools for learning and coding. I hope it will be useful.

I guess porting all the "transformando" activities migh be a worthy and interesting challenge... Also, I been thinking it might be easier for participants to engage if we get to divide the task into many sub-tasks... not sure but it is an idea! Regards, blessings and happy thanksgiving!!!
