FWIW:
1. The NUGWash folks know that I have completed, but not yet stuck a
decent interface onto, Jatris, Brian Postma's Java Tetris applet
(http://www.homepages.hetnet.nl/~brianpostma). It works well so far --
of course there are plenty of Newton Tetris programs out there already I
imagine.
2. I have given some thought to Maze3D
(http://colbleep.ocs.lsumc.edu/index.html)
3. It looks like LunarLander
(http://www.serve.com/wizjd/java/JDLunarLander/JDLunarLander.html)
should be easily portable. Dunno 'bout the interface though, as it
prefers constant "mouse down" information which Waba doesn't support
well.
4. I was really hoping to port JCalc (http://www.javathings.com/) but
the license agreement on it basically says that "as soon" as he starts
selling it, I may no longer distribute it. So that's not doable. The
nifty thing about JCalc is that it has a ton of functions, including
symbolic differentiation.
