Two Non-Related Tux Porting Ideas

I have found two very cool Tux-related items that I would love to see ported to the DC if possible.

First off:
SuperTux - this is an extremely fun, extremely well-done Mario clone, featuring everyone's favorite penguin mascot. It even features a level editor. It is open-source, and already available on *nix, Windows and Mac OS.

Secondly:
TuxPaint - a very nice children's painting program that allows you to make your own pictures, or color in pre-made pictures. It also features pre-made stamps, so you can stamp different things into your pictures. I don't know if it would even be remotely possible to port this to the DC, but it would be very cool to see, if it was possible. It's written completely in C, and is available for *nix, Windows and Mac OS.

super tux doesnt seem like it would be terribly hard now theres something i may actually be able to finish.

Now that I think about it... Wasn't Storminator16 working on SuperTux like 2 years ago? I wonder if he ever got anywhere with that.

I'm sure that SuperTux has improved quite a bit since then, though.

I would love to see you figure out how to port it to the DC Hashmire. That would be awesome.

EDIT - I was right. Will was working on it, and actually released something about two years ago. There's a topic about it here. I wonder if you can still get ahold of it or the source (since Storm! has been down for almost a year now).

ok, i will definatly not have my release by tommorow. My windows install died a while ago, and im still not sure how to set up a dc dev enviroment under linux. Anyone have a link to a tourentrial(eee i cant spell at all!).
