[Sugar-devel] Fwd: Is PyGame already installed on real XO ?

[James Simmons]

Laurent,

I'm forwarding this to the list.  The only thing I know about GCompris
chess is that it exists.  It looks like GCompris use to be distributed as a
bunch of individual Activities and now they are all one Activity.  Someone
on the list may be able to help.

Hello again,

I've searched for the GCompris MoveLearner repository in GitSugarLabs, but
I've just found the GCompris main line.
Is there a simple way for me to fetch Gcompris Chess Move Learner project
code ? Apologizes, again I've only simple usage of git.

Regards
