[game_edu] Platinum Arts Sandbox 2.3 Patch + Top 100 Finalist (need votes) + Linux Miniconf Presentation

[Corvus Elrod]

I've had my eye on this project for some time. It looks very interesting and
is built upon a great engine.

Sadly, I've not had a lot of luck getting it to run under Linux, nor the
time to troubleshoot appropriately.
