In this page, there are FreeRunner port, which uses launcher, so it doesn't add 27 new icons to application menu:

So, who wants make and maintain this port?
I've now uploaded sgt-puzzles for maemo5 extras-devel:

http://maemo.org/packages/view/sgt-puzzles/

It includes a new python-hildon based launcher:



Yeah, that is rubberband scrolling icon grid - if just the main grid would allow submenus, the whole excersize would be unnecessary.

Still needs:

1) An icon for the application manager
2) Tune some of the games to be more touch friendly (one game needs right mouse button click, entering numbers in the sudoku is tricky..)
3) Tune the launcher (those grey background areas are ugly..)
4) Perhaps port the launcher to C - just installing python for the launcher might be a bit too much.

Oh, and for some real commitment, a graphics designer to improve the graphics of the puzzles would really be needed!
