No, that file is very outdated - thanks for bringing that up - I'll update it.<br>
<br>
Briefly, here is what we are thinking of:<br>
<br>
Tuxtype:<br>
- svg support<br>
- sound support for text (have program pronounce words to be typed)<br>
- improved font handling<br>
- addition of user-specific search path for word and phrase lists,<br>
so people can add their own content more readily.<br>
- config/admin tool using gui toolkit (e.g. Qt4 but could be something else)<br>
<br>
Tuxmath:<br>
- svg support<br>
- improved font handling<br>
- config/admin tool using gui toolkit (e.g. Qt4 but could be something else)<br>
- LAN multiplayer mode - need refactoring into client/server<br>
architecture (could be applied to tuxtype also).<br>
<br>
As you can see, the ideas are similar for both programs.<br>
<br>
Apart from GSoC, both programs need ongoing code cleanup, especially<br>
tuxtype. Also, tuxtype could benefit greatly at this point from a<br>
refresh of things other than the C code itself - high-resolution<br>
backgrounds, completion of rest of menu sprite icons, more word lists<br>
and phrase files, etc.<br>

<br></blockquote></div><br>Hi David,<br><br>I am interested to work with the tuxmath. I have checked out the code from the svn and built it ( i have sent some mails to the mailing list and to you regarding the installation from source and some changes in the code) just and gone through the TODO in the doc. And it will be a little more easy to start if the ideas listed above are given a little described as the ideas listed in the TODO ( u have already stated that is outdated Hope it is updated by now) . <br>
