been the decision to port KDE games to qml (games like kbreakout and kdiamonds
have already been ported). Various advantages that qml offers in this regard
include ease of programming in the declarative language and logic computation
using JavaScript. This way the developer can separate out the game-related and
the UI-related logic easily. Maintenance becomes easy. In addition, this makes
it easy for the community to make the game available on mobile devices (especially
with projects like necessitas coming up). There has also been a recent addition
of QtQuick support to KDE Games library including qml component to display elements
from SVGs.</span></strong></p>
