I am looking at open source versions of space invaders games. I am contemplating making modifications to the game to make it more educational in a mathematical sort of way. I have found one version in Python but now I am wondering if there are any Smalltalk versions of space invaders or its variants.
It would be more fun to do this in Smalltalk (preferably Squeak or Pharo) than in Python.
Other interested parties welcome.

I've got a partially working version of Asteroids for squeak on OpenGL as part of My OpenGL tutorials package. I believe that you can search squeaksource and find a space invaders game written entirely in Morphic, which is probably slow but suitable for teaching.
My package is on the Open Cobalt repository at http://www.opencobalt.org /contributions repository directory.

A very long time ago I implemented an 8080 emulator in Squeak that could run the original space invaders. I would need to search whether I still have it. But this is probably not what you're looking for :-)

There are some Break Out games that are quite nice: http://www.squeaksource.com/BreakOut.html http://www.hpi.uni-potsdam.de/hirschfeld/projects/olpc/
I made a Space Invader tutorial for Etoys a long time a go but I don't have it around any more.

There is http://simberon.blogspot.com/2012/01/space-wars-game.html but it is based on VisualWorks. No idea how hard a port to Morphic would be
