Hii,in my implementation i made the menu (that changed the
difficulty)<br>
hidden and bring in front by a key combination(so kids
can't change<br>
stuff or quit the application) but now i think that older
kids can<br>
navigate a picture based menu. For animations we have a
lot in Qt to<br>
use(to make cards dissapear or some other effect when a
bad answer was<br>
given), also sound feedback is good to have.<br>
The code is easy to write, some nice themes would be nice,
I<br>
downloaded and used images ,and i tried to make some
animal themes.<br>
I had also the idea to create a database with images and
sounds that<br>
can be reused in all kids games and software,maybe when i
will have<br>
more time I will manage this(i will ask my wife to make
some animal<br>
themes) but for sounds no idea how to generate or record
those(you<br>
need some expensive equipment).<br>
Marco maybe you are interested in creating a larger
framework for<br>
games for kids,have ideas .<br>

The Framework are probably the stuff I am better at. I am
colorblind so do not ask me about color :) . I have musical
skills so I could go into that with a bit of work, but my
favorite is programming Frame work.<br>
I like to project them but here I need help from you. Untill
now I worked always at low lavel and since a couple of months
I use QT to develop games for my child. (I even bought a book
for QT to learn properly)<br>
<br>
What Albert is saying answering Anne-Marie i find fascinating

Not trivial, you have to almost develop separate UIs (or
at least separate<br>
paths in the same classes) so the recommendation is to
keep a clear separation<br>
between the logic and the UI so you can "plug" a new UI
on top.<br>

<br>
<br>
Something like that is something that I am ready to do.<br>
I am impressed that my email stirred up all these answer and
these Ideas.<br>
I may repeat myself but I think i can work good for you with a
bit of direction from you.<br>
<br>
To go back at the program I could see a video of Kmemory in an
rss feed from last year and it is exactly what I mean.<br>
I still did manage to compile the code and have it running on
my machine but i will (still problems with cmake).<br>
I have suggestion for improving the kmemory game but I think
like anne-marie saays we should decide how we should proceed.<br>
I already feel that we could do something cool.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>

Hi everyone,<br>
I am Marco and I have an idea for a new game. A
memory game.<br>
This would be a game for the preschool section.<br>
I know my sun likes this game a lot and with a touch
screen would be great.<br>
<br>
There are couple of identical figures, let's say 10
different couples<br>
in total 20 cards.<br>
All the card are on the table covered in a grid 5x4.
The Kid has to turn<br>
two of them and find the pairs.<br>
Of course if he wrong the card go back covered.<br>
He has to remember (that's way memory) where the
card were and make new<br>
couple.<br>
<br>
I programmed already a little QT application to
teach the connection<br>
between keyboard and computer also for my kid when
he was younger.<br>
I would like to program or at least to help to
program to the memory<br>
game if it will be developed.<br>
<br>
What are your opinions on that?<br>
<br>
Bye<br>
<br>
Marco<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
Long ago when I was learning some programming I
started such a Memory game,<br>
named Kard.<br>
However the code is quite old and does not include all
the new Qt 4.7 goodies!<br>
<br>
I think that at first we should work on the design to
get a UI fit for touch<br>
devices. Do you have any proposal for it (drawing
maybe)? Mainly how to<br>
change level (increased level is more cards) and how
to change cards theme.<br>
Also what is difficult is what happen when 2 cards are
discovered and do not<br>
match: kids usually keep clicking/touching cards. It's
now easy to have<br>
animations so the cards can be turned back but is
there a need to give some<br>
feedback?<br>
Also how to give feedback at the end of the game.<br>
<br>
Coding the app itself will not be so hard as KMemory
could be the base or<br>
Simon's Memory one, especially if we are several
people :-) But in my opinion<br>
it will only succeed if the design is already roughly
sorted out.<br>
<br>
<br>
More generally (this question is more for other KDE
people) how do we develop<br>
an "active" app and a normal one all in one? was it
discussed in the Desktop<br>
Summit? was anyone from KDE Edu at the Intel workshop?
If so is there someone<br>
with a tablet who can test Simon's game and KMemory?<br>
<br>
Such an app is needed and is great fun for kids as
well for aging people to<br>
help them maintain or recover their memory.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
<br>
Anne-Marie<br>

Sure no problem, but now I am also interested in what other is to do
here<br>
