I am working on a vala port of Glines. I wanted to get my feet wet
with a small game and at the same time get around to some planned
improvements (Cairo and Clutter graphics modes, GtkApplication based,
GUI in ui files, etc.) I plan to help out with sudoku and maybe get
started on the js games too.

Obviously I think it is a good idea :) The code is shorter and easier to read.
