Does anyone know what happened to Magazynier? It was<br>
going to replace the long-lost KSokoban, which I loved.<br>
<br>
Magazynier is still in playground, but not much has been<br>
done to it lately. Is anyone going to review and release it?<br>
<br>
Cheers, Ian W.<br>

</blockquote></div><br>Thanks for brining this up Ian. I've been meaning to send a mail about it, but I haven't gotten around to it. I guess I could just as well write it now.<br><br>First of all, I would still like to release Magazynier some day. I'm also willing to maintain it once it gets released.<br>
<br>The last changes to Magazynier were by me, in October last year, I ported Magazynier to KGameRenderer. I haven't seen any commits from tkadlubo, the original author, lately. I don't know what his plans are for Magazynier.<br>
<br>The game itself is in pretty good shape already (it's playable). There are a few things I remember that still need to be resolved before I would consider a release or review.<br><br>1. Magazynier needs artwork. Its current default theme is called 'geometric' and is very minimalistic. For a release Magazynier would need a nice default theme, preferably something that looks like a mover with boxes in a warehouse. Magazynier also doesn't have an icon yet.<br>
<br>2. Magazynier currently uses KScore to display the score a user had after solving a level. This doesn't really work well. Scores in Magazynier are related to a level, which resides in a level pack. Besides that, scores consist of two parameters, time and number of moves. KScore doesn't provide good way to model these kind of scores. I know there have been discussions and work to create a more advanced score framework, but I lost track of it's current status. When such a framework gets finished Magazynier can use it. Until then, scores could also be disabled so that Magazynier can at least be released.<br>
<br>That's my view on what happened to Magazynier, I hope it answered your question somewhat.<br><br>Regards,<br><br>Niels<br>
