When would the game engine in Blender 2.5 be ready to use?

[Sanchai]

I'm a student of Faculty of Information Technology of King Mongkut's Institute of Technology Ladkrabang (KMITL) in Thailand. It's going to have a camp called "IT Camp 7" in my faculty to teach making game for high school students. I choose Blender. The camp is on 19-22 October 2010. I just know that the Blender Game Engine in Blender 2.5 beta isn't ready yet (particularly exporting as exe). I would like to know, anyone could tell me when would it be ready? Is it worth waiting for a new release? (is it in my time?). Or I have to use Blender 2.49b?

I'm also curious as to when this will be ready.
