[SoaS] Super Chef 2 activity

[James Cameron]

G'day Raul,

SuperChef-2 depends on 1200x900 resolution of the OLPC XO, and uses
image instead of vector graphics.

Your notebooks may be a different resolution.  As a result, images may
be positioned outside display boundary.  What is the resolution?

The author did not write the program for different resolutions.

Also, absolute coordinates have been used, instead of relative
coordinates.

SuperChef might be fixed by;

1.  resize each of the background images in res/background/*.png,
although these images do not have source code so resizing will require
artistic care of a graphic designer,

2.  for each of the buttons that do not display completely, change
drawing coordinates, see class ScreenSelectGender and line 1699 of
View.py

3.  cascade to change mouse action detection coordinates, such as
line 1572,

4.  or add calculation of coordinates using display resolution instead
of asserting 1200x900 resolution.

It looks like several hours or days of work for a programmer.

While doing this work, please consider internationalisation; at the
moment the images contain text in one language only.
