xtris is a basic Tetris game, but with unlimited bots and cross-platform network play (tested with a normal Debian Linux server and client). The latest .deb has a Hildon app icon and everything

To install from the Terminal:
sudo gainroot
dpkg -i xtris-1.15maemo3_armel.deb

If you want to try a network game, I have a server running -- but can't guarantee anyone will be playing! From a Terminal, run:

/usr/games/xtris boil.afraid.org

Thanks to qobi and qole for the XSetInputFocus / WM_HINTS discussion. I basically ripped qobi's code and stuck it in the X_Init() function. I also changed button/GUI size and placement for better fitting the N900 screen... see the screenshots below for before and after

4/7: NEW maemo3 update makes buttons finger-sized 35px height rather than pinky/stylus-sized 20px.

Just wanted to bump this -- the .deb should be easy to install and test, now that it's bundled with an appmenu icon.

One more update -- to make buttons finger-sized. Not sure I'm going to spend much more time on xtris, but thanks for looking

Thanks
How about adding GameGripper support?

Re: GameGripper, you're basically asking for the controls to be read from a textfile rather than hard-coded, right? I think that's a good idea, since the defaults are rather cramped anyways.

I'd also like to make the font more readable if possible.

You can add an option to redefine the buttons
