There's a game that sounds very similiar to what Andy describes for
LibGGI called "Mortar", written by Eero Tamminen and available at his
homepage at:

    http://www.students.tut.fi/~t150315/

Download the mortar.tgz and mortar-gfx.tgz, edit the Makefile to select
the GGI version, and from there on it should be plain sailing.

Just thought I'd mention it while we were on the subject :).  I was
planning to test out the latest version, make sure the Eero's latest
fixes worked, and then upload it to the GGI FTP site -- and I still will
when I get a chance...

Cheers,
