But the thing is, functional game development techniques are nowhere near as developed or established as those of OO game development. The solutions to the problems at hand aren't as immediately obvious. This comes to mind: http://prog21.d

Kalah is a simple and somewhat broken game (the first player is heavily favored). I would very much like to see Oware or Bao supported, these are much deeper mancala games. I haven't seen many implementations of Oware (outside of GNU Aware)
