Someone mentioned they would like to see a growth game done in Alice (the game engine
http://alice.org/). The characters aren't exactly supermodels, but I went ahead and put something together. You have to have Java, and then install Alice from the website above, and then once you have it working, you can download the attached zip file, rename it (the zip file) to a .a2w, and then point Alice at it with the Load World menu item, and viola, you can hit play and experience the game itself. It is very basic right now; about a 30 second game; I'm sure you won't need any hints. I could do more like this, if people are interested. It'd be nicer with better-looking models, though.
*sigh*
Here, I'll even attach a couple screenies. Alice really is pretty fun. Makes me glad I know real code when I start missing things like switch statments, though. ^_^
