My apologies, I completely missed seeing KDots in Playground and I must have
missed your email somehow too.
I wonder, did anybody else from KDE Games try out KDots while it was in Playground?

Anyway, if KDEReview is still not a right place for the project I suppose it should be easy to revert the transfer (because I just requested sysadmins several days ago) and move it back to the Playground. If there aren't anybody tried the game before please do it now if you would like :).
You have done the right thing all along, except perhaps jumping up and down on
the KDE Games list and getting some feedback. You might as well leave KDots in
KDE Review for now, but I think it might take longer than the usual 3 weeks to get a
review done. Oh for the days when we had 15-20 people working on KDE Games!
I have cloned KDots, but right now I cannot compile it.
One problem is that Frameworks/KF5 will not compile on my Apple OS X setup. So
I am using your last KDE 4 tagged version (tag v0.5.3). But there is something that
the Clang compiler does not like in the files point.hpp and point.cpp. I will ask
around on kde-mac and MacPorts lists in the next few days. FWIW, the error
messages are:-
In file included from /kdedev/kde4m/kdesrc/kde/kdegames/kdots/point.cpp:26:
/kdedev/kde4m/kdesrc/kde/kdegames/kdots/point.hpp:78:10: error: explicit
specialization of non-template struct 'hash'

after top level declarator
std::size_t hash<KDots::Point>::operator()(const KDots::Point& s) const
^
;
2 errors generated.
Hash is defined as struct in the std lib, so I changed "class" to "struct", but that
did not help, as you can see.
Cheers, Ian W.
