[Kde-games-devel] ksokoban

[Scott MacDonald]

Sounds good! Are you any good with either graphics, or KDE development? I know
Qt, but I'm a little lacking on the KDE side of things...


'm writing KSokoban as a way of really learning Qt4 in depth (Making my own
signals and slots is pretty cool!)

I can picture in my mind,
a world without war, a world without hate.
And I can picture us attacking that world,
because they'd never expect it.
