I had a dream last night that I was playing a snail game on Linux. The premise 
of the game was not unlike 'The Imortal' on the NES. The snail started out in a 
large dungeon shown in an isometric, 3/4th vantage point. 

From there, the snail began moving about the dungeon floor in search of 'golden 
rods' which, when eaten, would help the snail grow in power. From a slimey larvee, 
to a large snail with a swirled shell, the snail's metamorphisis would take place 
as bees, wisps, and other monsters tried to stop it.

If the snail was hit by any of the enemies -- either with fireballs or by touch -- 
it would shrink back down to the larvee state. If it perished, it would reappear 
again and blink for just a few moments so that the player could find safety.

There was also a part of the dungeon were the snail had to hop on a magic carpet and 
float around to another section (separated by a barrier). 

This was a really cool game and I recall remarking to my cousin that the graphics 
were so 'vivid and lifelike'. I recall his remark as being,"Yeah, who knew Linux 
could do this!" :)

And then my dream ended. Thoughts?
