[Kde-games-devel] KDE Legacy Entertainment

[Dennis P]

The preliminary results seem to indicate a call for quality over quantity. But 
people fear that their favorite game will be left behind and unplayable, 
despite realizing it does not make KDE 4 look good. People seem to feel torn 
between cozy knowns and presentable wants. Here are my thoughts on a 
solution.

To avoid insulting any maintainers by feeling sidetracked I suggest we rename 
the entire collection, 'old stuff' but with a cool name. Distros will 
unlikely pick these games as to be supplied by default but whoever heard of 
or played the games of KDE 3 will have quick access to them in KDE 4.

**example**
Legacy Entertainment
The infamous games and entertainment meta package, enjoyable, addictive and 
fun. 10 years of KDE history. Some packages are in need of an overhaul others 
require only updated graphics or gameplay improvements, many are up-to-date.
**example**

Legacy games can also advance to become featured in the fresh new KDE 4 games 
section. When is up to the community consent of KDE games developers and 
artists.

I for example would suggest when:
1 graphics are new millennium: smooth edges, SVG like shine, preferably has 
SVG sources.
2 it is a popular desktop game: playtime of 1 to 5 minutes or a 'quit' 
and 'continue on restart' default. Preferably uses KDE 4 style color scheme.

So kmahjongg ported to KDE 4 would be in the Legacy Entertainment collection 
like all current games but as soon as its cool SVG tile set is working it is 
welcomed to join the games collection of KDE 4 also.
