[Yhslug] a math game i designed bundled with OLPC laptop

[Phil Shapiro]

hi yhslug community,

     some happy news to share. it looks like an elementary level math game i
designed is going to be bundled with the One Laptop Per Child laptop.

     i originally designed and programmed this game for apple II computers in
1989.  a very beautiful mac version was created by scott fenton, of vermont, in
1994.  in 2004 a java version of the game was created by yet another programmer.

     the java version is the one that most likely will be bundled with the laptop.

      this game teaches multiplication skills and general number sense via skip
counting. further info at http://www.his.com/pshapiro/whichnumber

       in case there's anyone else on this list who knows of educational
software that can run under linux on the OLPC laptop, here's a PC World article
that explains how people can submit software.
