Conversion Notes

Changes in game itself

* Make the "dead-monster-goo" green instead of red, to be more kid friendly.

    • "is it blood? it's not! it is snot!"

* OLPC keymapping - gamepad keys for in-game play.

  • Speed up fading in/out.

* Scaling support; Scale up graphics for the OLPC.

    • Linear scaling done manually for sprites; slower but blocky and non-SGE.
  • More command line options for OLPC integration;- volume, fullscreen, scaling etc.

Sugar and XO integration

  • Activity wrapping in Sugar (icon, launcher, etc)
  • Include Ruby/SDL and libruby1.8.so.1.8 libs directly.
