Video Games in Gym Class - DDR 101?

Apparently, someone has become clued in that Dance Dance Revolution promotes physical activity, and a school in California is making use of that. Can I go back and retake gym?"

    Usually, when there's an article that clearly does not belong to Slashdot, you can easily spot the relationship between what was "marketed" and OSDN/VA software, so what's the connection in this case?? :) Oh, I found it, took just a bit longer: pyDDR.... you were just waiting for someone to link to OSDN, right? So there you are!

    For proper flamefests, see the forums in www.fijilive.com, if that country's bandwidth can take it. I guess while they are insulting each other they are not shooting...

    they (the posters) mostly use english because if you use your language who will understand you, and if you use their language that's conceding a point...

    The site itself is fairly moderate and informative. The people in the country are mostly lovely, but the internet doesn't always bring out the best in people.
