OLPC

Andy Konstandinidis
Hello! Can anyone please inform me if the OLPC will be able to handle Croquet? Where can I get more information regarding Croquet in OLPC? Are there any
relevant projects?
 
Thanks!

Hi Andy,

Google is your friend.  I found this within 30 seconds; there were  
others:

In short, 3D Croquet will not run on an OLPC; 2D Croquet would, if  
such a thing existed (but I'm not aware of anyone working on a 2D-
only version of Croquet).

Croquet is both a distributed object system and a 3D user interface.  
The OLPC will not be able to handle 3D, but having a 2D collaboration  
should be quite possible.

There is a prototype of a 2D Tweak user interface built on the  
Croquet distribution framework - see the "WysiWiki" paper at
