Perhaps it is easier to port enigma. That is a very nice game too

Build a maze engine while you are waiting for the phone.

For the first time I'm wishing I'd waited for Freerunner!

The physics would be trivial.  The accelerometer outputs could be used
directly as force on the ball; just have tuneable friction and
elasticity bouncing off the walls.

Something like neverball or neverput would be really cool.

I was figuring something like that since long time... I hoped to play 
with Neverball and accelerometers, but unfortunately we won't have 3d 
soon :/.


So, any 2d implementation for me is ok! :P

Absolutely -- the top-down view would add an incredible sense of
realism to it.

That's a pretty slick video.

I was thinking more of a top-down view of the wooden board that Joe sent 
the Amazon link for, since the Freerunner won't have the same slick 3D 
graphics that the Wii has ;o)

Yeah, that's exactly the game I'm thinking of. I imagine
implementing the physics of it (roll the ball faster the more you
tilt) might be a bit tricky, but completely possible. We'd also have
to allow for skill level / gravity level, etc. Could be a lot of fun
to build (and play!).

I'll have a look around, see if I can find an existing game -- no
sense reinventing the wheel when all we're adding to it is
accelerometer controls instead of buttons etc.
