Actually useful, and illustrates some more advanced topics: textual scripts; obtaining data from the internet using etoy scripts; xml handling.

Nice use of retrieving information from the internet.

What I like about this project is that it shows how to capture and use, user keyboard input.
It also demonstrates how to detect changes in text input.

This is a good basic "Etoy Tool" "to program/create/discover with" and "to think with"

Can I remix this to add some instructions and explain how this could be used in a class or for kids projects (probably, by adding some challenges that require using the methods demonstrated here).

Sure, remix all you like :)

Works perfectly!

An interesting reminder of the availability of up to date information via internet.
