I have Perl/Tk versions of snake and tetris that're ~1500 LOC. If I
dropped the handling of options and made them all constants (board size,
timing interval, board colors, etc.) that would take them down to ~950
LOC.
I would be happy to port one of them to Python/Tkinter and I'm pretty
sure I could reduce the size even further without compromising on
readability.
I also have a Python/Tkinter version of tilefall (samegame) that's ~1200
LOC, but again, if I made all the options constants & did some other
simplifications to the GUI I could easily get that down to ~800 LOC or
less.
Or maybe the person who suggested adding a game to Tools/demo already
has their own game in mind:-)
PS I notice that in Tools/demo for 3.3b02 redemo.py doesn't have
execute permissions but all the others do.
