Well, GCompris is also moving to the goocanvas and pygoocanvas. Most of
our development effort goes to this port currently in our gcomprixogoo
branch. Most of the port as already been done.

I like your work and as it's based on pygoocanvas, it would be a perfect
fit for GCompris. BTW, in the old day, I included your Matritsa game
concept in our double entry activity.

So if you want to focus on the development of your activity and rely on
GCompris to be distributed, packaged, documented, translated and
maintained, you should consider writing your activity for GCompris
itself.
