Hello,<br><div class="gmail_quote"><div class="gmail_quote">
<font><br>I am a graduate student of National University of Singapore (NUS),
Singapore and currently studying Computer Engineering. I wanted to
contribute in developing the native Android application or a desktop based app for Tux4Kids this summer. I am also
applying in GSoc 2012.<br>
<br>I wanted to share an idea for kids to learn spellings while playing. the game is called "Invasion of Alphabets" ( I had developed the desktop java swing based application last year) but I will be fun to have a similar App for mobile/tablets. The idea is as follows:<br>
<br>Objective - Score maximum points in the current game. With greater points the<br>player moves up to higher levels to exploit the capabilities of that level, thus gaining<br>more experience points.<br><br>- There will be two sides (one Attacker one defender). The attackers will type words and click on "fire" after that the word will start moving from left to right or top to bottom on the screen. The defender needs to type the same word before the word disappears and click "defend". So if defenders is able to defend the word he gets some points, if not attacker gets the points <br>
- Game can be supported with peer to peer network with multiple players making teams .<br>- the Scoring can be mapped with a server so at the end of the game the scores are uploaded to server and next time player can play with the same points/level.<br>
<br><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">This will give 2 value add for kids:</span><br style="color:rgb(0,0,0)"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">- Entertainment value (for them to play and score more points)</span><br style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">
<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">- learning new words and typing skills as well</span><br style="color:rgb(0,0,0)"><br style="color:rgb(0,0,0)"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">I would love to hear your comments on this idea. Please let me know if it make sense and do you want me to explain in more detail</span><br style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">

Also, I have created few apps earlier using RESTful apis/webservices, google
maps, voice recognition, blue tooth, client server XMPP ... and many more
functionalities using Android.<br>
Here is a demo of education related App which I had developed for NUS students( in case you get free time please have a look) <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttYoj0Gscg8&context=C434e414ADvjVQa1PpcFPHYh-VOp7UQRAhmuaju39k9Zo-JCfSTXs=" target="_blank" class="playable">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttYoj0Gscg8&context=C434e414ADvjVQa1PpcFPHYh-VOp7UQRAhmuaju39k9Zo-JCfSTXs=</a></font><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)"> </span><br>
