[Sugar-devel] GSoC 2015 : Music Blocks

[Walter Bender]

I don't think there is a problem with the current framework for playing
multiple notes from multiple "turtles" at the same time. We do need some
sort of sequencer, but since turtles can launch other turtles, we should
have the making at least of something pretty interesting. The challenge is
how to keep it from getting too complex.
