Thanks for the pointer, I got a general understanding of the problem. I have absolutely no problem dropping the idea, I can try and brainstorm for more non-newgame related ideas :D After all, I'm passionate about wanting to develop for KDE, though I'm new right now. I would love trying to apply for other projects too, but I just thought I'd start out with KDE games since that's a domain I hold special interest for :)<br>
<br>But just in case, here's the overview:<br><br><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulls_and_cows">Bulls and Cows</a>, a code-breaking kinda game. The normal Bulls and Cows includes only the number mode, but I actually found it quite entertaining and VERY vocabulary-enriching when it is played with proper dictionary words, something that I did out of a whim. My idea is to design a KDE version of this game which includes number and word modes. This might also fit under the KDE-edu project, as I've been asked to forward this idea to their mailing list :)<br>
<br>I also had <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battleship_%28game%29">Battleships</a> in mind.<br><br>Cheers,<br>Pranav.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Feb 13, 2011 at 7:41 PM, Parker Coates <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:parker.coates@kdemail.net">parker.coates@kdemail.net</a>></span> wrote:<br>

</div>You might want to read this thread from the run up to GSoC 2010. [1]<br>
It kind of explains why, as a module, we're somewhat reluctant to<br>
accept new games as GSoC projects.<br>
<br>
Either way, you should really tell us what your ideas are. It's hard<br>
to judge whether we like an idea without actually hearing it. :)<br>
