RE: Noticeable Changes to Games for GNOME 3?

I see now.  The reason was I only saw a video for gnomines so I thought it was the furthest along.
Any any rate, I love the bouncing effect in the games, it makes the animation more "fun" and less "stiff".

Um. Actually gnomine is the least far along of all of those that I listed, haha. (the whole of the graphical portion, besides the mine/flag images, was created on Sunday)

All three of my games (gnomine, lightsoff, same-gnome-clutter) will be entirely themeable by creating a few images and a short bit of _javascript_, but yes, it's probably a bit early for that right now... (you can also forget the images and draw the textures in Cairo from _javascript_).

I'm not sure about the other two, in terms of theming.

Since I didn't link to videos before, here are *videos* that might give a better idea of the use of Clutter in our games:

same-gnome-clutter: http://www.vimeo.com/3068796
lightsoff (very old version): http://www.vimeo.com/2318879
gnometris-clutter: http://www.vimeo.com/3170316
gnibbles-clutter: http://vimeo.com/6057247

Anyway, if you want to get involved I'd be happy to help point you around (not that I'd necessarily be the most helpful, but I'm here if you're interested).

Unfortunately I'm no coder so I can't help.
I did have a different idea for the visual theme of gnomine, but I have no idea what's involved in implimenting it and guess it's too early for that sort of thing

I see there will be a dependency on clutter. 
Will this provide the groundwork for an overhaul of GNOME Games?
If GNOME Shell provides a new, fresh look for the UI, shouldn't included items like GNOME Games do the same?

I, for one, have been working on some Clutter-based GNOME Games during Google Summer of Code... porting same-gnome and gnomine, as well as adding a new game (lightsoff). Gnometris has also been ported, and another GSoC '09 project involved porting gnibbles...

So, I'd say we're well on our way :-)
