MiniKidsGames 0.3.9 has been released. The big difference from the last release was some bug fixes including a problem that may crash the game at the main title on some machines. I recommend all users install this release. Xcode Project/File Templates and Add-on Games will be updated soon. (Tank-0.3.8 runs on 0.3.9)

MiniKidsGames 0.3.8 has been released

Tuesday, November 28th, 2006

I've been making a collection of mini games for kids called MiniKidsGames Since I already created a small gaming framework with RubyCocoa, It didn't take long time to create some games. There are four games at this moment, and will be more and more games hopefully.

Good thing is that my son really loves these games and so does my wife. I showed it to some of my friends and one said "Cool, why don't you sell it?" "Haha, that'll be good but I'll rather make it an open source project," I replied. I don't think there are many educational open source projects, especially ones that uses RubyCocoa so it might be worth publishing.

I like the framework for this game because it makes each game much smaller compared to the one without it. If you get interested, take a look at the MiniKidsGames page. A game framework and Xcode Project files are available as well.
