The GGZ Gaming Zone is currently ported to KDE (which is my job, so flame me 
for it being so slow). There will be sort of compatibility in the kgame lib, 
so if nothing goes wrong games with such an option can also be played over 
the internet on game servers.

I had several requests for tutorials and APIs for that purpose, however the 
whole thing is not ready yet. This is what has been done up to now:
	Krosswater - works, but rarely tested yet
	KDots - works on clients side, server side will follow this week
	Gathering (Qt) - experimental
	KReversi - works (done by Ismael Orenstein as a port of the Gtk+ version)
	KTicTacTux - works on client side
	Kutter - frozen, because it would duplicate KBattleship

Other games like NetSpades or Chess still don't have any KDE version.

Some external games like GBatNav already support the --ggz option to switch 
internally to GGZ C/S mode, however there are no KDE games yet, but I will 
provide KTicTacTux as an example for this one too.
