<div dir="ltr">Hey, I would like to create some lesson files for tuxtype but I (a) can't figure out how to actually take input, since the lesson_1.xml file doesn't seem to take any specific input, the <prac> element doesn't seem to actually do anything, etc. Anywhere i can look for documentation or anybody willing to help a noob?</div>

<div>The "Lessons" xml activity was created by folks no longer involved with the project, and in all honesty, I don't think anyone has a very detailed understanding of how it works - at least I don't. I think that a bunch of new lessons were created for the Indic languages by Mobin Mohan <a href="mailto:mobinmohan@gmail.com">mobinmohan@gmail.com</a> for GSoC - he may have the best insights. I would suggest studying the existing lessons and making incremental modifications.</div>

<div dir="ltr">And, also, (b) have you already created several since version 1.5.15? (my version) I don't see any mention of new lessons on the news page, but I don't particularly want to duplicate work :)</div></blockquote>

<div>At least for English, there aren't any new ones.</div>

<div>The "Lessons" activity is probably the single most visible example of something that needs further work to make it look like a finished product. I'm currently adapting all of TuxType to support fullscreen mode at native resolution, and right now I'm getting "Practice" to draw correctly. After that I'll look at "Lessons", then probably release <a href="http://1.6.0.">1.6.0.</a></div>
<div> </div>
<div>The latest stable release of TuxType at <a href="http://www.tux4kids.com">www.tux4kids.com</a> is <a href="http://1.5.17.">1.5.17.</a></div>
<div> </div>
<div>We would greatly welcome more "content", whether xml lessons, word lists, or artwork for the menu buttons, etc.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Sorry I don't have any more specific recs.</div>
