Yes, for your purposes you can add a demo submenu and hack away. Have a 
look at other games that implement demo (like KMahjongg) for example. 
There is a demo KStandardGameAction, see docs at

http://www.englishbreakfastnetwork.org/apidocs/apidox-kde-4.0/kdegames-apidocs/libkdegames/html/namespaceKStandardGameAction.html

As for accessing game status, you are on your own for now as far as this 
goes, for now :) As I mentioned before, the game is not finished, so 
documenting and even cleaning up of data structures is something that is 
not ready. There are game structures that store the current map of 
blocks, of course. But I might change all of them in the next two 
months, as my plan is to finish it until February.
Another developer (Milian Wolff) also contacted me about patches to 
KBlocks, which is great. However, at this time I plan to finish it first 
following my initial plan (aKademy 2007), which is something I 
interrupted in August, due to the application freeze pre-4.1, to 
concentrate on other stuff that could go in 4.0. I would prefer to 
finish at least the basics before starting to integrate patches that 
deal with some of the internal stuff (SVG-layout definition, internal 
game structures, etc) But if you do not mind having your patches twisted 
:) then send them in.
