That's amazing! Please, also have a look to my TODO list of old-skool
activities:

== Bernie's Retro Activities ==
XaoS
SoundTracker
GrafX2
Golly
Mame
Geeki
TextEdit


Of these, I only ported XaoS--it's on ASLO.

For SoundTracker, I have an unfinished port to GTK2... It would need
some more work. All the others are straight-forward.

To ease porting non-native software, we should implement the
startup-notification protocol in Sugar. Currently, Sugar uses a custom
handshake protocol which requires activities to do set custom atoms in
their main window and talk over DBus.

There's a sugarize wrapper script which fools Sugar, but it's hardly
an ideal solution.

I would love if one of these demos (running in, say, 2% of CPU time) could
replace the boot-time animation.  Should much more interesting than our
present incredibly staid bootup.  Bonus points, of course, if the same
demo is available in some Activity for students to dissect.
