My project is going to be called \'xbobble\', a clone (and later an extension) 
of the commercial game \'Puzzle Bobble.\'  Having played it on several 
platforms, I\'m quite gutted that I have to buy a new full game to get a few 
extra features.

So, I intend to re-create it in a way that will:
- allow easy addition of new features, gaming modes, etc.
- allow people to play it on many platforms (such as the Gameboy Advance/GP32 
handhelds, and of course any POSIX/ANSI/XOpen compliant desktop platform with 
available free libraries.)
- include a network player mode not limited to the 2 player mode of the 
commericial game.

AND MOST IMPORTANTLY I will eventually extend the concepts in the game to an 
abstract library of constructs that allow system independant application of 
pre-defined and user-created design patterns to any piece of software.

Also, I want to promote the use of the savannah to other free software 
developers so that they can use it primarily instead of the sourceforge.net, 
which will soon become closed source software.

It does not exist yet but I\'m working on it (I bet you\'ve heard that before 
:-)
