Hi all, So there have been some pretty amazing things going on around here in Sky-Time land, way better than I would have ever dared to hope. We are talking with a school that is interested in using our game to teach time. They have made some good suggestions to improve our game before release. Ryan and Ian are currently working on merging their code, and will then jump on making those improvements. I have been working on the Sky-Time website. I’ll post the link here when that’s online. In oth ...

Howdy, This week has been full of fun FOSS related activities. For Sky-Time I created the small icon that will appear on the desktop. The Pythonistas meet up was very useful. Some suggestions really helped the coding end of our project. I saw Walter Bender speak! That was awesome. And after we talked about what icons he would like to see re-designed. So I will be attempting to make those real soon. Today he is coming to class to speak again. This weekend is the Space Apps Challenge! And also ...

There were two main components to our Lab's involvment at PyCon; the Education Summit, and the Poster Session. Details about the PyCon ...

Working on Sky Time has been really fun so far. We have a planned schedule. I missed week four because I was at GDC but it sounds like they did a great job presenting out design to the class.

Hi There! My name is Remy, and my handle is decause in most places. This is my first time taking HFOSS for credit, but not my first time being involved in the course. This is my last official course that I need to take to complete my graduate studies here at RIT, and I couldn't think of a class I'd want to end on more than this one :) There are any number of Sugar Activities that I could choose as my favorite, but I'm going to go with some some that I've had the privilege of helping out thro ...

Here are some cool sugar applications that I did some research on: Etoys 113: “Media authoring environment with graphical scripting for children of all ages. Aren't we all children?” I love this idea. This is a great way to create stories through interacting with visuals. I also like that is aimed at a young age group. Pretty fun! Grid Paint 1: “A simple paint activity for kids to draw pictures using a grid of triangles. Be expressive using just colored triangles: now everyone could be an art ...
