[Kde-games-devel] Kapman conception : need advices !

[Kleag]

Hello,

I agree with all what has been said by the others:
- it's important to separate at most the model and the presentation classes ;
- you should not link the animated elements to a cell. In fact, I'm not sure 
that the concept of cell is a good idea, except maybe for the description of 
the skin. Instead, I would propose to use a kind of mask, generated from the 
skin description, thus you can test for each scene position if it is in a wall 
or not. 

I don't want to say that it is the best implementation possible (there is a 
way too much code in the KGameWindow class, etc.) but you could have a look at 
the organisation of KsirK. It tries to separate the view/model as stated above 
and by others ; it uses the mask technique and, last but not least, it fully 
use the libkdegames/kgame library which gives you a lot of already coded 
things (game, player, network, etc.).

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Kleag
