<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I've been working on a new game for the KDE desktop that I though people might be interested in. The main idea was to develop a simple game that will teach me about creating applications for KDE 4.x. I've not really written anything since KDE 2. Qutie a bit has changed!</p>
<p>The idea of the game is that you fly a plane and have to drop bombs onto buildings before you crash into them. Each time the plane flies off the side of the play area, it reappears but lower down. After clearing a level you are started on a new level with is more difficult.</p>
<p>All the game objects are all fully themeable, in fact I'm not much of a artist so the current graphics are more of a place holder. The themes are standard KDE Game themes using SVG files. I've also witten a docbook documentation and added API docs to the game.</p>
<p>I'd be intrested to know what people think and if people find any bugs :-) I think the game is mostly complete, though the graphics are a bit rough and there is only a single sound sample at the moment.</p>
<p>A source tar ball of the game can be found here: http://www.stanwood.exofire.net/jp/bomber-0.1.tar.gz . It's in SVN on my own private server, but I'd like to host it and maintain it in the KDE Games src tree if people are interested in that.</p>
<p>To build and install Bomber follow these steps:</p>
<p> Download it</p>
<p> type "cd Bomber"</p>
<p>type "cmake ."</p>
<p>type "make"</p>
<p>Now login in as root and type "make install"</p>
<p>type "bomber" to run it.</p>
<p>Cheers,</p>
<p>John-Paul.</p>
