For Developers
These tutorials demonstrate the programming of software for the OLPC environment. You should likely read the Developer's Manual to understand how to set up your working environment before you attempt any of these tutorials.
Sugar Activity Tutorials
- Sugar Activity Tutorial - This Hello World activity shows the basics of creating a python activity for Sugar using basic GTK operations. The bulk of the tutorial is focused on setting up the activity directory structure and boilerplate
- Tubes Tutorial - Activity sharing using Tubes
- PyGTK
- PyGTK Activity Tutorials: (with and without Glade)
- Tuquito's Hello World!, using GTK+Glade
- Smooth Animation with PyGTK
- OLPCGames/Pygame
- Game development HOWTO -- download a zip file, run a command, register the resulting activity, run it, now make it do something fun and run it again
