The excellent 'World Countries' game made by 'orinoco' is implemented in SVG and javascript in a single file:
http://files.myopera.com/orinoco/svg/WorldCountries.svg
It is a lovely game, it is under the GDL and already works on the OLPC. It would make an absolutely great activity for the OLPC and only needs a little bit of tuning to make it work perfectly on the platform.
ToDos:
- (EASY) perhaps change the color scheme to increase the contrast
- (MEDIUM) increase the spacing between countries to improve visibility on the OLPC's high-res screen
- (MEDIUM) make it all fit without scrolling left and right
- (EASY) adjust the size and placement of the text to improve rendering and avoid clipping
- (???) package as an OLPC Activity
New Features:
- choose a continent to practice on
- click on the country name to go to a wikipedia search
- internationalize the text
- package the wikipedia country pages as part of the activity
