Actually, I have implemented a 4x4 slider puzzle for testing the
GnomeCanvas widget, and made it into a panel applet :-)

Now that the canvas also supports images, you should be able to use it
to write a generalized slider puzzle game.  You should be able to whip
such a program in an afternoon, I guess.  It would be pretty cool.

Please download the latest gnome-libs and look at
gnome-libs/test-gnome/canvas.c for the game example.

You finish it and it will be put into the cvs tree for sure :-)
