ANNOUNCE: Ghextris 0.2 "Rough around the edges" available



Hi

This seems to be a reasonable place for a preliminary mention a Gnome
game I just whipped up in an effort to learn some basic Python/Gnome
programming and to get something fun out of it; apologies if this list
is supposed to be exclusively for the gnome-games package (though I
wouldn't object to this game making it into the package at some point :)

Anyway, Ghextris is a reimplementation of the good old semi-free
Xhextris (no Xhextris code was peeked at during the implementation,
though ;). It is basically Tetris except that the pieces are composed of
hexagons instead of squares.

At this point, the game is fully playable, though lacks some features
like a persistent high score list and installation scripting. (Pointers
to howtos or examples on the use of python-gnome2's high score bindings
would be appreciated.)

I thought to mention it here despite the suboptimal packaging in the
hopes of getting some feedback on the basic game functionality, scoring,
difficulty, possible brain damaged decisions made due to relative
Python/Gnome newbieness etc.

Besides that, it _is_ a fun game already; hope you enjoy it :)
