Treenimation is a software tool used for creating web-based (real-time), multiplayer board games (as well as email-based board games). Subsequent versions of Treenimation will add support for games with 2D animation, and ultimately 3D animation. Treenimation includes a powerful yet easy-to-learn object-oriented scripting language called Treescript.

I am Mike Hahn, the creator of Treenimation. I am currently in the early stages of implementing Treenimation for Windows, using Delphi. I am hoping to recruit one or more Linux programmers to develop Treenimation for the XO Laptop. I assume this will involve porting Treenimation from Delphi to Free Pascal for Linux, and then translating it into Python.

The Treenimation web site is now ready for public consumption. Thanks to AlbertCahalan for pointing me away from C# and towards Free Pascal. I look forward to installing Linux (on my old computer) in the very near future, and installing Free Pascal.

I have been advised that using Python instead of Delphi is probably the best way to go. So I plan to install Python on my main computer and Linux/Python/Sugar on my old computer, a Pentium II at 266 MHz.
