Open Tasks

Although our github is the canonical source for new issues, we wanted a nicely curated list of the “Big Issues” still present in our tools. If you are interested in contributing to an open-source project to support education of disadvantaged youth, please get involved!

Spyral

  • Advanced physics through Box2D
  • Audio API (perhaps even just exposing Pygame’s)
  • More widgets (e.g., radio button, drop-down menus, multi-line textbox)
  • Unit tests
  • Absolute positioning: Sprites currently report their position within parents, not an absolute position on the screen
  • Static sprites: sprites that will always be static, emulating part of the background
  • Hex-grids: Currently, only square regions are intelligently handled by Spyral, it’d be nice to have Hex

  • Finalize actors
  • Creating and destroying widgets on the fly
  • Clipboard functionality
  • Caption and Icon API
