DAWacker |
so a team and i over the summer developed badges for XO activites and got these badges working with two of the activites that FOSS@RIT developed, Lemonade Stand and SkyTime |
| 17:46 |
walterbender |
DAWacker: say more... |
| 17:46 |
DAWacker |
at this point, we figure badges can be awarded to any activity that has a badges/ directory filled with images as well as the badges/ library that I wrote |
| 17:47 |
|
we orginally developed badges for Lemonade Stand but wrote a library that was imported into SkyTime and badges can be awarded there as well |
| 17:47 |
walterbender |
DAWacker: where do the badges show up? |
| 17:48 |
DAWacker |
Sash is an activity that is used to read any information on the XO about badges and displays the badge image in a Gtk window with tooltip text about the badge (name, date received, activity awarded from, and a short description about the badge) |
| 17:49 |
walterbender |
DAWacker: have you thought about adding the badges to the Journal too? |
| 17:49 |
gonzalo_odiard_ |
DAWacker, are you using the mozilla/fedora insfrestructure for the badges? |
| 17:49 |
decause |
walterbender: badges are using the journal, yes :) |
| 17:49 |
walterbender |
decause: they are stored as metadata? |
| 17:49 |
DAWacker |
walterbender: yes we are using the journal for badges but it doesn't specifically say in the journal when a badge is awarded |
| 17:50 |
decause |
gonzalo_odiard_: we have done some research into Mozilla Open Badges integration, but as of right now, there is no way to upload to the backpack without using a browser/javascript |
| 17:50 |
DAWacker |
walterbender: we are using a DS object to store the metadata about badges |
| 17:50 |
tch__ |
we could show them at the friends view ;) |
| 17:50 |
walterbender |
DAWacker: be worth considering writing a Journal extension to show the badges in the detail view |
| 17:51 |
DAWacker |
walterbender: that would be awesome actually, it would be awesome if when you got a badge it displayed the badge image with the description there. I will look into that |
| 17:51 |
walterbender |
DAWacker: an object for the badges or the badges as part of each object |
| 17:51 |
DAWacker |
walterbender: I guess you could say Sash does something similar to that |
| 17:51 |
decause |
I will *definitely* be pitching this one in my HFOSS course, and I think there will be a number of students interested (95% of the class is Game Design & Development Majors) |
| 17:51 |
walterbender |
should be pretty easy to modify the Journal expandedentry view |
| 17:51 |
gonzalo_odiard_ |
looks like something we can look for sugar 102 |
| 17:51 |
walterbender |
+1 |
| 17:51 |
decause |
and since DAWacker is my TA, I think the upstream mentor will be highly available ;) |
| 17:52 |
DAWacker |
walterbender: each activity that supports badges creates a DS object and Sash queries those objects to retrieve information |
| 17:52 |
walterbender |
decause: I have also always wanted a standard way of displaying 'high scores' |
| 17:52 |
gonzalo_odiard_ |
decause, DAWacker, should be good if you can discuss more openly the plan, in sugar-devel and/or prepare a feture page in sugarlabs wiki |
| 17:52 |
walterbender |
decause: right now, some of my activities export scores to Chart |
| 17:53 |
DAWacker |
walterbender: Chart? |
| 17:53 |
walterbender |
but your students could do something more fun, like the Wii does, for example |
| 17:53 |
|
Chart is a simple activity for plotting data |
| 17:53 |
gonzalo_odiard_ |
walterbender, what do the wii? |
| 17:53 |
decause |
gonzalo_odiard_: duely noted. is there a regular meeting in #sug-devel we should aim for? |
| 17:53 |
DAWacker |
walterbender: cool |
| 17:53 |
walterbender |
decause: good projects for this fall |
| 17:53 |
|
and timely for 102 |
| 17:54 |
gonzalo_odiard_ |
decause, not right now, sugar-devel mailing list is the best optyion |
| 17:54 |
decause |
gonzalo_odiard_: kk |
| 17:54 |
|
I'll ping the sash/lemonadestand team, see if we can't get some cycles to update the wiki |
| 17:54 |
walterbender |
decause: writing up a feature page in the wiki is also good |
| 17:54 |
gonzalo_odiard_ |
decause, is the best way to be sure we have something we can include in the main distribution |
| 17:54 |
DAWacker |
decause: noted. |
| 17:55 |
|
walterbender: i plan on writing up a page for Sash |
| 17:55 |
decause |
this is our first time doing something bigger than "just a game" for sugar, so let me know what the standard procedure is for doing "feature" level stuff and we'll observe protocol :) |
| 17:56 |
walterbender |
decause: there are lots of examples at wiki.sl.o/go/Featrures |
| 17:56 |
decause |
walterbender: kk |
| 17:56 |
walterbender |
Features |
| 17:56 |
decause |
DAWacker: ^^^ |
| 17:56 |
DAWacker |
decause: got it |
| 17:56 |
walterbender |
something like this would want a design review early in the process |
| 17:56 |
gonzalo_odiard_ |
decause, you can look here for the procedure http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Features/Policy |
| 17:56 |
DAWacker |
walterbender: do you mind posting a direct link? |
| 17:57 |
decause |
gonzalo_odiard++ |
| 17:57 |
gonzalo_odiard_ |
here for a template http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/F[…]/Feature_Template |
| 17:57 |
DAWacker |
gonzalo_odiard_: awesome, thanks! |
| 17:57 |
gonzalo_odiard_ |
and here for examples: http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Features |
| 17:58 |
walterbender |
gonzalo_odiard_: we should find a place to put features that have landed... this page is very cluttered |
| 17:58 |
decause |
DAWacker: we'll be adding all of this to the course website too, so don't be afraid to make some tickets on the repo |
| 17:58 |
|
hflossk repo, that is |
| 17:58 |
DAWacker |
decause: understood |
| 17:59 |
walterbender |
DAWacker: thanks for sharing :) |
| 17:59 |
gonzalo_odiard_ |
walterbender, is true |
| 17:59 |
walterbender |
should lead to good things |
