===Description===

Puppy's Pen is an educational game targeted towards 4th grade students interested in learning how to calculate basic perimeter and area by drawing rectangles.

Puppy's Pen is an educational game targeted towards 4th grade students interested in learning how to calculate basic perimeter and area. The game consists of procedurally-generated area and perimeter puzzles which can be solved by drawing rectangles on a grid of increasing size. Each puzzle represents a situation in which the owner of a puppy has to satisfy a requirement so that his/her puppy is happy in its pen.

===Features===

* Main menu

* Option to return to main menu, then resume game

* Procedurally-generated, non-repeating levels

* Area puzzles

* Perimeter puzzles

* Combined area and perimeter puzzles

* More difficult puzzles caused by increasing grid size

* Click-and-drag rectangle drawing

* Two-click rectangle drawing

* Positive and negative feedback on user-drawn rectangles

===Current Status===

* Users can run game on a Linux with dependencies installed.

===Running as Pygame App===

* This game can be played as a desktop application, but only on a machine with Gtk (we recommend using Linux). As long as Python, Pygame, and Gtk are installed, simply run PuppysPen.py to play and test. This does not create a Sugar Activity build, but it will still run on an XO the same way.

===To Do===

Line 19:

Line 36:

* Make drawing more efficient with blit

* Let the user choose difficulty

* Game states and switching between them

* Create functional Main Menu

* Add effects i.e. mouse hover/click, sounds

* Add animation for successful pen

* Add support for different pen criteria

* Support click-and-drag rectangle drawing

* Rename Project

* Tutorial Level
