 http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/puzzles/ is a fun collection
 of lightweight GTK2 puzzles written in C, which we could distribute.  We'd
 just need a few changes:

 * a sugar activity for choosing between the puzzles
 * conversion of the drop-down menu items to icons, since we don't want to
 have to translate the options, and many kids couldn't read them even if we
 did.

 We likely won't have time to do this ourselves for a good while; if
 anyone's looking for a project to introduce themselves to sugar, this
 could be a fun one.

 Looking further, there is a huge collection of games at
 http://www.happypenguin.org/... we should take some time to sort through
 them for good ones.
