I'll build it and try it out.

Sure.  FPSG is a real mouthful anyway.  Maybe refer to it in the handbook.

Please do not be put off by Jaison's comments.  I think he is having
a bad day :-(  In reality, coolo (Stephan Kulow), is alive and well and
working on kpat (Patience or Solitaire games), but he is also a very
senior person in KDE now (if there *are* ranks in KDE), so please do
not email him.  KDE Games maintenance is more of a group and
individual effort at the moment, but this list has been a bit quiet of late.
I suppose people are busy ... but you are writing to the proper place.

If one or two people like your game and it's not the same as some
other game we have and it jumps a few hurdles to make it a fully
fledged KDE application and you are prepared to commit to future
maintenance, KSquares will have a good chance of getting in to
KDE Games and will get my vote at least (but I do not decide these
things on my own: we're democratic here, I believe).  I'll tell you
more after I have had a look at your game.

All the best, Ian W.

P.S. Please note our monthly IRC meeting is on at 7 pm Thursday
UTC.  You might like to attend.  I'll be in Australia asleep at that time.
