Listen to Jani, try first to make the Gnome games GTK only, and maybe add
another fun, new game, if you really want to code something new.
Think about mantaining - do you really want to mantain a whole new pile of
code? What will happen when you won't be around anymore (retired from
programming, gone fishing :) ).
