About GtkGLExt / glChess

[Andreas Røsdal <andrearo pvv ntnu no>]

There have been many good suggestions for new games in gnome games so 
far. One of the games that I like is glChess 
(http://glchess.sourceforge.net/). It depends upon OpenGl, using the 
GtkGLExt library. Note that glChess does not require hardware support to 
be playable with OpenGl, it can also be played with software as well.

OpenGL is perfectly suited for game-development. I would imagine that 
OpenGl would add the extra graphic-appeal to gnome-games that some 
people have been missing, and that we possibly could see more games with 
OpenGl for GNOME in the future. Many Linux distributions already ship 
with several OpenGl games by default (eg. Neverball and Tux Racer).

How do people feel about adding GtkGLExt as a library dependency on 
gnome-games, if glChess would be selected as a new game?
