[Sugar-devel] GPA Class Notes July 22 - GS

[Walter Bender]

I think that we could do most of the games with the game logic I can
hand off to them in Turtle Art. They won't be doing the back-end
programming, but I think they'll learn a lot and they'll have a lot of
latitude in creating their games.
