<div><br>Yes, would be willing to assist anyone attempting to get Asymptopia Software products running/included for the XO. There is also TuxMathScrabble, which would be a slightly easier port. Both use PyGame, and it would be a simple matter to remove the wxWidgets dependency. <br>
<br>TuxWordSmith is also mentioned on the page:<br><a href="http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Educational_content_ideas/language_learning">http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Educational_content_ideas/language_learning</a><br><br>Let me know how I can help,<br>
