 ==Text dungeon==
-[[File:Text dungeon.jpg]]
+A text dungeon game for literacy and numeracy
+Most of this page transferred to [[Activities/Textdungeon]] , just the command line version here
+[[File:Text dungeon.jpg|300px]]
+The dungeon [[File:Sampledungeon.doc | description file]]
+[[File:Textdungeon.doc | the program]] is a version of the program's Python code which works from the command line
+[[File:Textdungeon1.xo]] is a Sugarised install bundle, works Sugar 0.88 - 0.92
+[[File:Textdungeon2.xo]] Sugar compliant icon, do not load sample file if resuming, backspace supported, journal entry saves progress)
+===Keyboard commands===
+h - help
+f - forward
+r - right
+l - left
+b - list backpack contents
+p item - pick up item
+d item - drop item
+u item - use item
+q - quit

+==Screenshots in Sugar==
+===Simple screenshot===
+To take screenshots press Alt 1
+This will capture the screen but not the mouse cursor
+===Screenshot with cursor===
+To also capture the mouse cursor, install gnome-screenshot. Type the following in Terminal:
+ sudo yum install gnome-utils
+You can then start the interactive version of gnome-screenshot:
+ gnome-screenshot --interactive
+[[File:Gnome-screenshot.png|350px]]
+Check that you have the right options selected and that 'Include pointer' is selected, then click Take Screenshot. Do not navigate away to the screen you want the screenshot of because you will be unable to navigate back to the utility. At this point we are just checking that the options are correct.
+[[File:Gnome-screensh-2.png|350px]]
+Select a suitable save location such as 'Documents' and click Save.
+Now you are ready to take a screenshot. Start gnome-screenshot from Terminal with a suitable delay, eg. 2 seconds
+ gnome-screenshot -d 2
+Immediately go to the screen you wish to capture, position the cursor where you want it, get the menus etc. as you want them and wait for the dialog box. Click Save. (Later versions of Sugar allow you to access the saved file in Documents but the folder contents are not updated, you may need to switch between Journal and Documents to see the updated file listing.)

+==GIT and patches==
+===GIT local repository===
+ sudo install git
+clone the git of the Turtle, in a terminal, make:
+ git clone  git://git.sugarlabs.org/turtleart/mainline.git
+In the mainline folder there are all turtle's files..
+===Patch===
+ sudo yum install patch
+ or
+ sudo yum install patch --nogpg
+Should be a "raw patch" link (eg. 2b4ecb0cc7095f47fc944c54512e055c21537ab5.patch)
+. Save that page as a file into ~/Activities/TurtleArt.activity  (eg patching Turtle Art)
+. From terminal run the patch command as follows:
-Will transfer to Activities if it gets working
+ patch -p1 < 2b4ecb0cc7095f47fc944c54512e055c21537ab5.patch
-The dungeon [[File:Sampledungeon.doc | description file]] description file is plain text and can be edited with the Write Activity
+That is it. (Note, you should be able to use autocomplete when typing
+the command line by hitting tab after typing the first few letters of
+the patch file name.)
-At the moment [[File:Textdungeon.doc | the program]]the program works from the command line only.
-The intention is that children would both play and create dungeons to develop math, literacy and problem solving skills.
