Will has released Ramble v0.2. I spent some time showing Meghan, Caleb & Jacob how to play it last night. Even though some of their friends have xbox or Nintendos they are open-minded enough to be enthralled by the "retro" graphics.
Since Jacob isn't old enough to read yet, and Caleb's still learning (Meghan is already reading several grade-levels ahead of most kids her age), I decided to hack in speech synthesis via the OS X TclSpeech package. I discovered Will had some experimental code already stubbed in for speech, so I just fleshed that out some and sent him my patches.
