Dear Balaji, It feels great that you want to develop games for Linux and want to make it Open Source. I have the answer for you question, and that is in Qt library (a free C++ library to develop GUI for Linux) you can find that game available and the algorithm is free to modify and distribute. If you have Red Hat Linux 6.1 installed with KDE you can find the game in the folder '/usr/share/doc/qt-devel-2.0.1/examples'; if you open the folder '/usr/share/doc/qt-devel-2.0.1/tutorial'; you can know more about it; though it doesn't contain much information about it. If you have SuSe Linux 6.3 installed with KDE, you can find the same folder in '/opt/kde/share/doc/qt-devel-2.0.1/tutorial'. One more thing in the 'examples' folder you will find many other folders which contains the examples and compiled binaries; suppose if it is '/usr/share/doc/qt-devel-2.0.1/examples/hello', go inside the folder run 'hello'; Likewise tictactoe named folder also exist. Just run the 'tictactoe' there. Please tell me about yourself,Which GUI toolkit do you use? GTK or Qt? I have written an UnJumbling algorithm in C lang (you find jumbled words in many news-papers); Could you help me write the Graphical frontend for that as I don't know Graphical Programming? I will dedicate the program to you...
