Subject: Re: [Kde-games-devel] Regarding Mancala
To: Ian Wadham <iandw.au@gmail.com>


Sure, Here I am. Thanks for all the comments.

I was observing the thread right from the beginning. Actually, I was waiting
for the reviews from kdegames people after I move mancala to kde-review .

When I made mancala, I saw a number of kdegames. As their was no specific
rules or should be's, I tried to make it to look like other kde games( at
least most of them ). I also changed mancala(little changes) several times
according to people's opinion to make it user friendly.

People here talked mainly about two things, *game theme* and *tutorial*.
I saw games like kfourinline at the time I was developing mancala and also
noticed the theme options. I also saw games like kbounce, kollision where
there is no theme options.
My primary opinion about mancala was: there will be different theme for
different games, as they come from different regions( the theme should
represent the region). That's why I made a svg file per game and gave the
user no flexibility. But, my plan didn't work nicely as I am not a good
artist.
I thought of including tutorials, but didn't find any in current games(that
I saw). So, I thought it might not be necessary.

*And about setting standards*:
What I think is, there should be some rules and should be's stated publicly.
So, when a new comer wants to develop a game, he can know the guideline of
making a game in kde and at the same time, the quality can also be
maintained easily.
