sean, how about bejewled?
i know this game is not really open-source but i would kill to have it
run on my newton.. this is one of the reasons i still like my palm (you
can get a palm version from http://www.popcap.com).. this game was also
featured at the msn game zone (http://zone.msn.com/bejeweled/).
any hopes? maybe a similar type game?
thanks and cheers,
nitin
