Nice !
But how do you develop games for classpad ? Is it the SDK we will get probably next month, or another one ?

Yes, the upcoming SDK was used to create this add-in. An intern at Saltire used an "alpha" version of the SDK to test it out.

Hi.
I have a question: Why is the size of the file larger in the ClassPad than in the computer?

Good question.

The file on the PC is actually compressed. It gets uncompressed when it is sent to the ClassPad.

Hi.
There is new addin: Periodic table. The size is just about 35 KB.
I think it would be better with search function ( symbol, atomic number ...)

I had not installed memory challenge, i did it some minutes ago. Very nice add-in.

Also periodic table its great, thats so bad i will never use it . Thanks by the advice Lovecasio.

The periodic table is simple, but it gets the job done. One thing I like about it is it shows the symbols right on the table (although it takes 2 screens to do it). Most other periodic tables I've seen put the entire table on a single screen but then can't show the symbols right on the table.

There is a lot of room for improvement of course. An easy one would be to display the group numbers on the table. I'd like to see more information on each element too. Another possible improvement is making use of the cursor (arrow) keys. It would also be nice to have a mode that displays the table in the top 1/2 of the screen and the properties in the bottom, although it would probably have to stop displaying the symbols right on the table to make it all fit. I could go on and on...

The guy who wrote it was a summer intern trying out the SDK (yes, it is still on its way soon). I think he did a good job, but I was debating if I should include the source code along with the add-in, because it has a few rough edges.

I'm sure nobody here would want to see the source code
