MyFarm is a simulation farming game that teaches students about money management, time management, and responsibility. Students are given a farm and are able to choose various plants and animals to be a part of their farm. Students are able to sell their plants, animals, etc at a shop in order to buy luxury items to decorate their farm.

The target users are 3rd and 4th graders as the game will enhances lessons taught on addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Additionally the game will enhance lessons taught on elapse time.

I am currently recruiting persons with a general interested in the development of this game. My goal is to have this game be a popular One Laptop Per Child game. Additionally, I would like to build a strong team and recruit testers that will be able to make this game come into realization. ALL ARE WELCOME this WEDNESDAY to learn more about myFarm on the IRC Channel #myFarm.

This is a great chance to learn about the open source community and help build a game. All Experience Levels are Welcomed, but Experienced Programmers, Artists, and Gamers are HIGHLY Welcomed. Please contact me if you need assistance logging onto IRC: twitter:iogburu
