Sveicināti GNOME.Weekly Report 9 : GSOC

25th July 2011 : During the ninth week of gsoc I worked on the following :-

• Fixed Clickable dots issue for alphabets and numbers : Introduced a default named parameter braille_letter in BrailleChar class default constructor to ensure whether the character to be generated in the activity has to be a number or an alphabet.This issue arouse due to similarity in some of the braille codes for alphabets and numbers.


• Goocanvas Rectangle API for rounded buttons : By using two properties using rectangle Goocanvas API : radius_x and radius_y, I managed to remove the existing svg images for rounded rectangle buttons and generate it using code.


• Slight changes for refinement of activity : It was kinda boring and useless to keep the numbers for checking in the ticket in the range 1-90.So kids will now be allowed to check only those numbers that either are in TICKET A or TICKET B.Also kids will be able to uncheck the cross button in case they have not marked the ticket number correctly.I have ensured the translatable strings in the code too.
  Discovered a slight difference between the following two :-
  To create a separate list, you can use slicing or the list function to quickly create a copy:-
  L = []
  M = L[:] # create a copy
  A = B = [] # both names will point to the same list


• Braille Objects Activity : Build up this new activity containing 8 levels of different categories.Kids are suppose to braille these sheets of objects.On clicking OK they will jump to next level on all correctly identified objects.For this activity I have used activity.desktop file.Each braille tile is dynamically named as :-
  #Naming Objects from Variable Class Names
  self.obj = "self.obj" + str(self.tile_counter)


• Code :
