So, we have come across our first real roadblock in creating our Activity for the Sugar software, and it's not so much our coding as it is porting the program to the Sugar platform. Currently, the Activity will appear for use in the Sugar emulator, but it comes in the form of a window. We cannot have this happen because we are not sure that the XO laptops have a window feature, seeing as how all they run is the Sugar OS which incorporates any Activities into a single plane.
In analyzing the two files involved in porting the Activity, the Python and XML files, we have found a key piece which sets the Activity to be opened in a PyGTK window. However, we need to find something that allows for the Activity to not only fill the entire screen like other published Activities, but also remove the 'windowed' view. We feel a solution is just around the corner, so we'll hopefully have some positive news to share for the next post.
At today's team meeting I would also like to start on creating the presentation for our project.
