I read at [[Priorities-2008]] that: |

[[Image:Review-Squad-logo-2.svg]] |
|||
"MOMA animation is good to show how to get started -- specifically connecting to wifi (G1G1). The way access points are displayed doesn't give kids enough of a clue about the consequences of clicking on it -- not obvious whether it helps you get on the network, for instance." |
|||
, so here is my rough idea of improving and differentiating the random wireless access point and the school server. |
|||
Reasoning: I tried to convey in a simple way what people (kids and others) being part of the review groups will be doing, which is to "stamp" their reviews (likes and dislikes) on all kinds of content done for the XO (be it software, static, dynamic, etc). While also keeping in style with the One Laptop Per Child logos at laptop.org. |

But in succession, i.e, 5 steps forward, then +5 steps forward, etc. |

If in the same script I put "Repeat 5 times - Do forward 5", it will be the same as "forward 25" |

If I try create 2 scripts for the player, "player scriptA" contains "player forward by 5", and "player scriptB" contains "Repeat 5 times - Do scriptA", it also moves once 25 pixels. |

I can explain what and why I want to do this. |

I want to have an ovni to move a randon number of times in a direction, then a random number of times in another, and so on infinity. |

oh, and in random directions as well. |

About me
My name is Eduardo N.H. Silva (the non-programmer, not Edsiper).
Stuff I've been doing
Sorry, I currently don't have the time to help out much with your art needs (WAS: Feel free to request artwork from me!). Newest to last (more or less).
Differentiating between School server and Wireless Access Point
I read at Priorities-2008 that:
"MOMA animation is good to show how to get started -- specifically connecting to wifi (G1G1). The way access points are displayed doesn't give kids enough of a clue about the consequences of clicking on it -- not obvious whether it helps you get on the network, for instance."
, so here is my rough idea of improving and differentiating the random wireless access point and the school server.
Activity Icons
TODO: Make these follow the new activity spec.
SVG
A sugarized Activity icon, representing a spoon.
I will make some fine-tunes to it in the future.
SVG
SVG
2 sugarized Activity icons, painting things.
SVG
Sugarized Activity icon for tuxpaint activity.
SVG
My proposed icon for XoIRC
Etoys
TODO: Let the etoys team do what they do best, then after the dust is settled a bit on terms on interface, suggest something similar to this.
How I think Etoys toolbar could be, to integrate a bit better with Sugar (visually but functionally as well):
Activity Toolbar:

New Project. Next are the project navigation buttons, Previous and Next (was Next removed because there was no space left? It's a usefull button to navigate between nested projects). Next are the tools, the Paint tool and the Toolbox. Next are the configuration options, Language and Screen Size. To the far end are Load and Save, followed by Stop, following the convention of other Sugar activities.

Undo/Redo, then Copy/Paste. Even if etoys right now only supports one level of undo, then so be it. Re-using the undo button to re-do an action is counter-sense. The Copy/Paste buttons are also available in every other activity, and Etoys supports it, so why not follow the convention?
