<p>Hello,</p>
<p>A couple of days ago I started a command-line implementation of
the popular Tower of Brahma (Tower of Hanoi) game and almost
finished a playable version. It has autoplay feature also, with
various command line args to tweak its behavior (still to
document).</p>
<p>You can see the code here:<br>

<p>It is a silly program I know, but I happened to develop it simply
because I couldn't find an alternative on the official repo. I had
discussed with the GNU people and they are ready to include it as
a GNU package if I can modify it conforming to the GNU coding
standards so that it becomes an example for the GNU style. They
suggested adding programming feature also, which I believe is a
cool idea (will do that later).</p>
<p>But my primary aim is to put it on Debian so that one day I can
request it to be referred by <i>games-console</i> package. I have
a couple of useful (unlike this one, really useful) packages to be
put on the repo, but I'd like to start from this simple one. I
know that I have to follow the Debian policies. I can do that --
the CHANGELOG, COPYING, ... stuff like that. I can also build a
.deb package conforming to the standards. But first I'd like to
know whether there is any use in spending time for that. Currently
all it has is a simple non-portable Makefile. I'll start working
on the rest after hearing from you.</p>
