Qt Quick Migration status

Porting guidelines

First you should consider the Gtk+ activity as an example, not as a something we want to clone exactly. You are encouraged to improve the original version, either from a user experience stand point and on the educational value.

Think about adding animations where necessary. It was hard to do in Gtk+ and its very easy in QML.

One important part of the work is to make the activity resolution independent (including support for vertical and horizontal layout).

Images

The preferred image format is svg. A valuable resource for images is openclipart.org. To edit svg image you can use the excellent vector graphic editor Inkscape. In the GCompris Gtk+ version many images are already in svg but not all. I created an archive of all the svg images I have, maybe the one you miss is in it.

Core

If you are interested in working on a core feature of the Qt Quick version of GCompris, Edit this page and put your name to be sure you are alone on this task.

Description	Status	Developer
Make install	In progress	Johnny
Packaging for each platform	In progress	Thib and Cyril
Packaging for F-Droid
Admin mode etc., cf. Administration design	In progress	Bruno / Holger
Dataset handling	TBD
Per-activity configuration handling	In progress	branch activityconfig on kde git
Ability to globaly change letter spacing, word spacing and line spacing. Especially usefull to help children to read (font size change is already implemented).	TBD
In the Gtk+ version we had background musics. Some people miss them on the new version. We should keep this as an optional download	TBD
Ability to anonymously track usage especially activity used. We don't want to rely on a proprietary system and it must work on all platform. One option is to install a Piwik instance on gcompris.net. This tool can be used to track in app usage.	-	-

Bug Tracking

Here is a list of identified bugs and improvements we would like to complete before the initial release.

Activity	Description	Status	Developer
click_and_draw	Find a way to have less distortion in images in portait mode
click_on_letter: multi-char support	Make letters in click_on_letter datasets strings instead of single characters, as needed by some locales.
No sound on MacOSX	Seems to be related to this bug
gletters, wordsgame, Wordlist	Let the translator provide the keyboard letter order in the dataset and maintain it in Wordlist
