Moon

A simple Moon phase viewer for the XO laptop. It's usefulness as a shared activity will make more sense once the planned Sugar bulletin-board/chat overlay interface is implemented, where children will be able to point out features and places of interest to each other. Source and .xo bundle not yet posted.

Development

Moon is a standard Python activity that uses PyGTG for graphics and events. All Python is in an easily modifiable single file with a Sugar activity subclass that takes care of control and views, and a model class for Moon calculations. Code was ported from a Cocoa Mac application I wrote some time ago called MoonDock.
