[Kde-games-devel] Some work on Kreversi

[Inge Wallin]

Hi everybody,

I have started doing a little work on KReversi again.  I am moving away from 
the minimalistic feel that KReversi has always had. So far I have enhanced 
the view with the following two items:
 - Letters and numbers around the squares of the board
 - A move list so the user can see which moves were made during the game.

There are also new options to see possible moves in the board and to get the 
last move marked. These two features are located in a new toolbar, so you 
must do  a 'make install' before you can try them out.

Take a look and see what you think!

This is only the first steps in a plan to add more things to the game.  You 
can see the wishlist in bugzilla for some details of what I plan in the short 
term. In the long term, there will be a stronger AI, and ways for the player 
to load and store games, analyse positions and so on. Network game is also on 
the list.

I intend to make a configuration setting for the user so that she can either 
use the minimal GUI or the full GUI.  My question now is: which should be the 
default?  When the user upgrades to KDE 3.5 and starts KReversi for the first 
time, should the full power of the new GUI greet him, or should he have to 
enable it first?

 -Inge
