[Sugar-devel] AmazonasTortuga

[James Cameron]

Sure.

I did the Python 3 port of TurtleArt back in September, concentrating
on the code used by the Sugar activity.  Others completed the port for
the code used by the GNOME application.

I also mentored during GCI some porting of the derivative activities,
such as TortugadeMexico.

https://github.com/sugarlabs/TortugadeMexico/pull/4

Now for AmazonasTortuga we have four sources to compare;

1.  https://github.com/sugarlabs/turtleart-activity/tree/amazonas

2.  https://github.com/sugarlabs/AmazonasTortuga

3.  https://github.com/sugarlabs/amazonas-activity

4.  http://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/addon/4585

We also have a tracking issue

https://github.com/sugarlabs/amazonas-activity/issues/2

Speaking generally, the shortest path to porting a derivative of
TurtleArt is to;

1.  identify the changes that were made between the last common commit
with TurtleArt master branch, such as 3feac04,

2.  undo those changes,

3.  merge all later work from the TurtleArt master branch,

4.  reapply the changes identified in step 1 while simultaneously
porting by hand to GTK 3 and Python 3.

It is almost certainly a mistake to try to port the existing code, as
differences will build up between the existing code and other derivatives.
