| This is a small entry abut latest x platform game's development course at ICE (Universitat de Barcelona). We teached some teachers how to use Monkey X and Jungle Ide, and they loved it! http://www.lemonbytes.com/an-arkanoid-built-in-four-hours-with-monkeyx-at-ice-ub/ Feel free to share and spread it on the net if the fact that Monkey X reached the University can help us giving some more visibility to Monkey X. |

| awesome stuff. |

| nice that you do that :D |

| This is the perfect opportunity for Blitz Research to sell at the University!! Perhaps sell one licence (price to be arranged by Mr Sibly) |

| This is great! Thank you for making teachers aware of this tool. I wish Monkey had been taught at my University. It's a great language! |

| I really think Monkey could find a niche in education if it could gain some traction. Nice syntax with powerful features and cross platform. The fact that it is now free for HTML5 and desktop makes it even better. Students don't have to worry about trial or educational versions. |

| Monkey X will be tought in some institutes this course. I'm preparing a sort of "ludum dare" for students in Barcelona. Not sure if it'll succeed or not, but there seems to be some interest |

| NVM, I will try to convince people to use monkey x again in the future but this time didn't work out. |

| If they are learning how to code then HTML target would be the easiest way to do it and it would be free, right ? Better to email BRL than ask on this thread. |
