in reply to game ideas?

Of course, it depends on what sort of games turn you on.
If you want to take part in a larger project, look at SourceForge and check out the Project Help Wanted Link. It will give you an idea of what others are doing.

Even if none of them are interesting, it could spark off some ideas.

Unfortunately, most of the games are Linux/C based.

Having just bootstrapped my MySQL knowledge and reworked luke_repwalker.pl to access the mysql DB using Tie::DBI (which makes the code look cleaner), I am keen to play with a larger project using MySQL.
