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.
