Seems like a really nice game..  I'd like to see this implemented too
:)

Well, KDE-Edu's problem is that there are too few developers, there
are lots of ideas floating around, and people often post ideas on this
mailing list.  The real problem is finding people who are both willing
and capable of implementing them.
If you're interested in learning about how to implement your idea as a
KDE program, there is lots of good documentation available on sites
like http://developer.kde.org/,
http://doc.trolltech.com/3.1/index.html etc.  Qt/KDE is one of the 
easiest environments to develop for, and there are lots of people
willing to help you available on things like the #kde irc channel on
irc.kde.org..
cheers
