Well, this is a project that has been around for awhile. I have had in mind to do a Linux port of the classic puzzle game Kye for some time, and did some work on it last summer; finally, now, it is finished. Or, at least, I have a playable 0.0.1 beta release.

Actually the first version I did was in Java. But there were too many glitches in the interface which I couldn't get rid of. And while I did get it working under the embedded Java in both Netscape and IE, neither worked that well, and having to work with only Java 1.0/1.1 stuff meant using a lot of inferior Java data types. So I got annoyed with that and decided to convert it to Python instead. 12 hours later, it works well enough to use.
