I'm working on a Phantasy Star - type game in pygame, and I think I'll take a simple battle screen and try and port it to P4A. I'll set the graphics up for the lower resoltion and give it a shot. It will be a good learning project!
Give me a little bit to get it all done and I'll message the group back with the results.
