[gcompris-devel] Idea for new boards -

[Bruno Coudoin]

I like the drawing. Nice to see Tux out there ;)

I am not sure to understand the game play. If it's just a puzzle game,
then you can use the shape board in gcompris and just create a dataset
for it (it's explained in the online FAQ).
It would be great if it was not only a puzzle but something with more
strategy. I don't know, but could it be used to let the kid learn
somthing about motor engine, space, earth attraction like landing an
engine on the moon.

Good start anyway.

Bruno.

For example, space ships ans U.F.O.s missing shapes or patterns and various of the shapes/patterns floating in space.
