[Sugar-devel] [IAEP] [UKids] Re: [Announcement] Sugarizer v0.8 is available for your device

[Caryl Bigenho]

Hi... it works beautifully on my iPhone.


However, on Ed's older Samsung smartphone running JellyBean, a lot of the Activities don't work. The app itself does not appear on the phone but when I go to the PlayStore, I can open it from there.


I have two more devices to try it on still. Maybe there should be different versions for different hardware/software combos? Each only having the Actiities that will work? Or maybe a "read me" for users that tells them not to expect some of the Activities to work on certain devices?


I'll check back later when I have tested more devices and Activities.


Caryl

Okay, I tried restarting Chrome a second time and now Etoys opens on Mac. But had an issue saving. I'll investigate further.

Hoping to get Etoys (et al) working on Chromebook's so I can get teachers in my kids school to start using it.

Cheers,
Stephen

Lionel,

This is great work, thank you.

Ran into a few issues trying to run Etoys (Turtle Blocks seems to run just fine), :

  1.  Added Chrome extension but Etoys did not run, just got black screen.
     *   Tried on Mac and Windows using latest Chrome, waited about 5 minutes+
  2.  Also downloaded from iTunes onto my Mac and had same issue

Thanks,
Stephen

Thanks all.

@Walter, PR is the best way.
More precisely: clone Sugarizer, replace Turtle Blocks code by the new one, if possible test on all browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, EDGE) to ensure portability on all devices, then PR.

Lionel,

Congrats.

Quick question: What is the procedure for an app developer to get a new version into your distro? Turtle Blocks has made many advances since the version you package.

regards.

Hi all,



I'm proud to announce the eighth version (0.8) of Sugarizer, a taste of Sugar for any device.



http://sugarizer.org



Main features in this new version:

  *   Speak activity: The famous Sugar Speak activity: anything you type will be spoken aloud using the speech synthesizer.
  *   Moon activity: Another famous Sugar activity. A Moon phase viewer, includes Lunar phase information and eclipse data.
  *   Video Viewer activity: A generic video viewer, explore a predefined libraries (Khan Academy, Canopé) or import your own library and share it with others in the Journal.
  *   Shared Notes activity: A shared board where you could stick Post-It notes and share it in real time with others using presence.
  *   Updated Etoys activity: Latest version of Etoys is now included in the Sugarizer package.
  *   Windows 10:  Sugarizer is now available in the Windows Store [1]. So if you've got a PC on Windows, Sugarizer is one click long from you.
  *   Performance improvement: script optimization and lazy loading of data had dramatically improve performance in all activities.
  *   Better touch support: a new scrollable home view and a better handling of long touch on touch screens of any size.
  *   Application size reduction: Sugarizer application size is now under 50Mb.
  *   Portuguese localization: a new language support for our friends from Portugal and Brazil,
  *   SugarLabs inside: Sugarizer source code is now in SugarLabs repository [8].



New in Sugarizer 0.8 for Android is "Sugarizer OS". Sugarizer OS is a way to use Sugarizer as your Android Launcher on the device. So you could have the same experience with Sugarizer on your tablet/smartphone that you've got with Sugar on the XO laptop. More specifically, Sugarizer OS features are:

  *   Directly boot the device on Sugarizer home view (no more Android stuff)
  *   Full features and activities of Sugarizer (Sugarizer and Sugarizer OS share the same code)
  *   Include both Sugarizer activities and Android applications in your home view using favorites feature
  *   Launch Android applications from Sugarizer home view
  *   Journal will trace both Sugarizer and Android application launch
  *   Launch Android settings from the Sugarizer settings dialog
  *   Manage WiFi connection from the Sugarizer neighborhood view (like in Sugar)



With Sugarizer OS, Sugar on Android is now a reality: enjoy the experience and spread the world with Sugarizer !



Sugarizer 0.8 is available on: Windows Store [1], Google Play [2], Amazon Store [3], Apple Store [4], Chrome Web Store [5] and F-droid [6].

Sugarizer OS for Android is available in beta here [7].



               Lionel.

To some of us, writing computer programs is a fascinating game. A program is a building of thought. It is costless to build, weightless, growing easily under our typing hands. If we get carried away, its size and complexity will grow out of control, confusing even the one who created it. This is the main problem of programming. It is why so much of today's software tends to crash, fail, screw up.

When a program works, it is beautiful. The art of programming is the skill of controlling complexity. The great program is subdued, made simple in its complexity.
