Thanks for the Welcome note! Yes it's getting cold down here in NY! My students and I are working on a app based on the street game Skelly. I used to play it in the streets of Brooklyn back in the day.

Welcome from the Netherlands.
Skelly?

Ah! Great idea. I did a 'Sjoelen' game when I started (Penny Shoel).
That is a Dutch board game everyone had when I was little.

Have fun with GS!

Ludwig, thanks for the Links I'll have to check out your game! My research is on the design and development of culturally based learning environments. My current focus is on street games...so I will definitely look into "Sjoelen'! Skelly has been around and has many names depending on what neighborhood your from. I think I am going to use 'TOPS' as the game name, Skelly/Skully may turn off parents of younger children.

That is an interesting research. Sjoelen is played indoors.
Good choice to change the name.
I am a freelance graphic designer and work mostly for educational editors (Sanoma).
Mostly for primar school. It is very interesting, specially from the didactic perspective.

You can't imagine how much I would've liked to learn GameSalad when I was a kid.
Anyways, at one point I had to learn it!
And I'm still a newbie, but hopefully before the end of this year you'll see my game in the App Store.

Last November you welcomed me and my students to this community...we wanted you to know that our first app in up on the Apple Store: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/tops/id503252761?mt=8

My students and I would greatly appreciate the feedback for improvement.
We are in the process of updating it, as it is still rough.

Thanks in Advance!

Hi @Malbert,
I played TOPS but I didn't know what to do. I can shuffle the big cap but moves to fast.
Honestly I was a bit disappointed. Perhaps in an update there can be a tutorial on how Skelly works.
What is the math on top and wat is the red cap for?

Cheers,
Ludwig

Hi @LudwigHeijden,
Thanks for the feeback...game is very rough at this point.
Ok, The basic object is to answer the math problem by moving your bottle cap to the answer on the board. i.e. if you are presented with 7+2= then you must move your bottle cap to 9. The red cap in future versions will be an obstacle preventing the player to reach the answer. We have a HOW TO PLAY section...what do you think we should add/remove to make it clearer?

Thanks!
