About me

My name is Eduardo Silva.

All of these where made with Inkscape, and are plain SVG files. They are work in progress!

Review Squad logo

What comes up to your mind when you see it?).

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.

How it could fit with the OLPC logos:

Translation/Multilingual/Translate icon

Hmm, This one could work as an Annotation icon/button.

Books Bundles

A Template Book, a Reference Book, a Picture Book, and a Story Book. These could be helpfull for Book Curators/Bundlers to use in their website.

Activity Icons

An activity icon for a culinary-like Activity. Not yet Sugarized, meaning I haven't managed for both fill and stroke colors to follow the XO colors. If you can do it, go for it! Not sure though if such an activity would be necessary. A kid/parent could create a recipe in Write, and tag it appropriately (recipe chocolate cake).

My Random Notes

Etoys

In Etoys, I want a player to move forward 5 steps a certain amount of times. 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.

Figured a way by by looking at the Welcome Screen car script of the OLPC etoys.

I created a red polygon square around the screen. Then used this code for the Ovni script (Following the etoys look):

Test ovni's <blue> color sees <red> color

Yes ovni's forwardDirection decrease by (91 + random (90))

ovni forward by 10

No

ovni forward by 10

ovni bounce silence

There may be a better way, but right now this is how I did it.
