All (with maybe one or two exceptions) of the games that were moved to 
playground is because there was no-one working on them for KDE4. It looks 
like KPoker is being revitalised at the moment.

Basically, no one is working on KSnake and so if you would be willing to work 
on it, it would be very much appreciated. Of course you will need a KDE4 
development environment set up if you don't already (see 
http://techbase.kde.org for details) and KSnake is currently residing 
in /trunk/playground/games/ksnake.

If you have any questions about getting started or anything really, send a 
mail to this list or pop onto IRC in the #kdegames channel.
