[gcompris-devel] New activity to learn the double click

[Bruno Coudoin]

I got a request to reintroduce the double click activity we had based on
the erase activity.

We still have double click in the fishing activity at upper level but
items are moving which makes it too hadr for smaller ones.

I think erase + double click was too boring for the children but 
the complaint is valid. We need a double click activity on a stationary
item.

What I found most lacking is a feedback on how good / fast is the double
click.

So this week end I created a new activity just for the double click.

This is based on the soccer game. The children must score a goal by
double clicking on the ball. Faster you double click, better you are. At
first click, a progress bar starts and gives an instant feedback to tell
the child how good she is.

You can have a video here showing it:
in ogg theroa: http://gcompris.net/incoming/doubleclick.ogg
in avi: http://gcompris.net/incoming/doubleclick.avi

It's commited on trunk (I will port it on the Windows and goocanvas
branch once completed.)

I need your feedback and your help to complete it. Especially, if
someone native English with a teacher feeling could provide the manual
in a few sentences that would be great.

For the graphism, I did a minimum, there is room for improvements. For
example it would be fun to have Tux in active situations catching the
ball.
