The Main Karma Package

A set of tools that will help you start working with Karma quickly

This is what is contained in the repository at http://git.sugarlabs.org/projects/karma/

  • Includes script for Karma activity generation, xo bundle generation
  • includes "platform" files, i.e. a basic html5-capable browser that can be used to create an xo bundle
ROOT/                              ( ROOT is not actually a directory name, it just labels the top-level of this package )
   assets/                         ( images, audio, and text common to karma.html, examples, and the lessons for the launch page for all lessons )

                   image/            
                   locale_name.json   ( karma actually needs the .po file to be converted to .json )
                   audio/
   AUTHORS                         ( Should include names of everyone that has contributed to Karma main package )

   index.html                     ( The starting page for accessing Karma lessons, should include links to the examples, known as the CHAKRA )

Karma XO bundle

  • similar to E-Paath layout and uses the standard Sugar bundle structure
  • It is still undecided whether karma will default to using Browse which is based on Firefox or Surf which based on webkit (Safari/Chrome). Surf requires that you install the rpms for pywebkitgtk and webkitgtk

Lesson

consists of a single lesson

  lesson_name/
             assets/
                     {langCode}/         (files specific to langCode: en-US, en, es-MX, es, ....) and not the default locale
                     image/
                     audio/
                     svg/

             js/
                 lesson.js      main logic of program
             kDoc.html   (viewer for lesson plan and teacher's Note)
             lessonPlan.html
             teachersNote.html
             start.html     (start page)
            
  • Notes:
  1. {langCode} represents the lang code and country code
  2. which will be the template language for assets/docs/* ?, English suggested
  3. suggestion: rename assets/{langCode}/docs/ to docs/{langCode}/ . This is based that at this moment there are no other kind of files under assets/ than 'docs'

The following is out of date but kept for history

Reading, Game and Exercise

consist of a single 'reading', 'game' or 'exercise'

{type}/
             index.html               (valid html5 -- markup only includes visual elements and links in other resources, no inline code or styling )

                 sp-ES.po             ( example translation file for traditional Spanish )
                 {langCode}.po        ( translation file )
             assets/
                    generic/          ( for language independent assets (e.g. arrows, background images, etc.) )
                       images/
                           preview.jpg  ( screenshot for Chakra  )

                       docs/
  • Notes
  1. {type} represents 'game' or 'exercise' or 'reading'
  2. does docs/ is used?
