I could not find the instructions/ screenshots for how to use this activity. If there are any, please mention the link so that I can add it to readme.md

[ayushnawal]

Thanks @JuiP, have a look at [Jumble] in activities.sugarlabs.org, maybe you can get some help.

I will test it soon, reviewing for now

[chimosky]

Tested c593d19, works same as master.

Your Readme.md explains perfectly how to use the activity, you can look at including documentation for this activity in the help activity.

Fix what @ayushnawal pointed out and I'll merge.

Done that, there was nothing!

Sure!

Fix what @ayushnawal pointed out and I'll merge.

I seemed to have skipped that, when I ran 2to3 , it didnot make the variable name changes so git diff did not show me xxx_todo_changeme. Anyways, fixed in 7a470b4 . Tested; works the same, no errors.
Ready to be merged @chimosky ! Also, closes #8

[ayushnawal]

Thanks

As suggested you can include it in help activity.

@chimosky I guess we can close #8

Thanks. Reviewed. utils.py is in several other activities, and everyone chooses a different variable name. This makes future maintenance harder. For test_blit, my preference was "here" and "rgb", but others have used "coordinates" and "color". The same names can be used in text_blit1; no need for unique names.

The same names can be used in text_blit1; no need for unique names.

Yes, I was thinking of giving a little more meaningful variable names but later realized "coord" and "rgb" are self explanatory, so ended up using same names elsewhere. I will change the variable name for text_blit and text_blit1 and message.

For test_blit, my preference was "here" and "rgb", but others have used "coordinates" and "color". The same names can be used in text_blit1;

I do not understand, do you want me to change the variable names to either ("coordinates" and "color") or ("here" and "rgb") for all the functions? @quozl

I've not made a comprehensive survey of the other activities, so I've no specific recommendation. The situation is already a mess. See what you can do to make future maintenance easier.

Done in 05b5862 :)
When I was looking for similar changes, found your comment on - sugarlabs/didg-art-activity#5
Went through the links and settled for ("coordinates" and "color").

[chimosky]

Reviewed 05b5862, looks good.

Tested, works as expected. Thanks.

Only issue is mouse movement in the game, it's a bit slow for some reason.
I can't take a look now but might open an issue.

@chimosky @quozl
How do we decide if an activity is ready for a release? Any checkpoints?

[quozl]

When I release something, it is a kind of social contract; I'm offering to fix it if I missed anything. So my considerations are whether fixing it now is better than causing pain to others and having to fix it later under stress. Here's some ideas;

• for a Python 3 release, the activity should work with Sugar 0.117 on at least Fedora or Ubuntu distributions of Linux.
• for a Python 2 release, the activity should work with Sugar 0.112 on either Fedora 18 or Ubuntu 18.04,
• a Testing checklist is available. I'll accept suggestions for improving that list.
• the Projects list for general maintenance, sometimes flake8, and sometimes updating any embedded libraries.

[chimosky]

Personally, when I notice that there's been quite some changes in the activity and it hasn't been released, also when major changes have been made to an activity it should be released; say a port to python 3 or a port to Gtk3.

Like @quozl pointed out, if I want to release an activity I fix existing bugs before releasing.

There's also the maintainer check list, you should check it out.
