[Sugar-devel] Memorize Mod

[Gonzalo Odiard]

One alternative is by default not select any game, and show a canvas
with cards with the games to select:
* Additions
* Letters
* Sounds
... and in the case Art4Apps is installed:
* English
* Haitian
* Français
* Spanish

If some of the languages is selected, show the second level
games as cards in the canvas (right now in the games palette)

(There are a class SvgCard that display a card with content)

In this way, the user should select a game to start.

Anyway, if a user select a game saved in the journal, these screens are
ignored and the game is opened.

I don't have time to work on this right now, but would accept patches.
