Hey, My name's Siegfried and I'm a member of the Catalan LoCo Team. I'm sending you this mail since we are currently working on an application to play a game similar to trivia with graphics somewhat like in a TV show, which we plan to use on our Gutsy Release Party. Called Freevial, it allows for up to 6 teams to compete against them answering an unlimited amount of questions in exactly six different categories (there may be more categories available, but you will need to select those six you want to play before you start the game). For each successfully answered question the team gets 1 point. Also, each one of the six categories has a different color, and all teams have a modified version of Ubuntu's logo with six empty areas that have to be filled each one with one of those colors. When a team answers correctly at least one question of each differnt category, completing the logo, the game ends and they get 3 additional points. The team with the most points at end wins. The application is being developed with Python and pygame, it's fully translatable, and it can be controlled by keyboard, mouse (only a few of the actions) and joystick. It's currently already fully playable (actually, some of us meet some weeks ago to test it together, successfully) but it may take still some time (something like 1 month or more) until we release the first version. However, if your LoCo Team is interested on also using it when celebrating Gutsy's release feel free to drop us a mail (To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED]) and we can provide you with a stable commit of it and instructions on how to translate it and create your own questions database (our is in Catalan), although it may be perhaps a bit too late to get a nice amount finished before the 18th... You can see some screenshots of it here: http://flickr.com/photos/tags/freevial/ (they may be a bit outdated, and at least one newly added screen is missing, but I forgot what password I used on Flickr :P). The project is hosted on Launchpad, if you have any request you can leave it on the tracker: https://launchpad.net/freevial Salut! -- Siegfried-Angel Gevatter Pujals (RainCT) Catalan LoCo Team Member -- ubuntu-marketing mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-marketing
