[Kde-games-devel] Re : Re : Re : What to do for default theme for Kapman?

[Thomas Gallinari]

I agree with PB. Moreover, I'd say that actually we disagree with Matthew opinion about tile-based Kapman *emergency*... We don't want to make such a huge improvement without knowing exactly its advantages, drawbacks, and what it implies, so we have to think about it more quietly. My opinion is that we don't have any time for such a brainstorming before June (as PB said, we don't want to spend all our free time on Kapman, moreover our exams are finished but we are now working as trainees).
So with PB agreement, I think we'll first finish what we've planned, then we'll think about a tile-based maze...
However, I'd like to see what it looks like, so Matthew I would be happy if you'd send me your work *commented* on Kapman...
Thanks ! :)

It's not that we disagree with each other really, the point is, if I chose to continu my contribution to Kapman, it was mainly to learn more about games development, KDE development, etc. (we are students remember ? ;) )
But matthew, you suggest so many things at once that I (we?) don't understand the half of it. If you want to see all of it imlemented for June, you will have to do it mainly alone and I feel like we will have to run after you trying to understand what you did.

My current mood is, if we manage to make kapman releasable for 4.1 all for the better ! But we will have to make simpler choices than that.
If we don't mangage it, so be it, we will be there for 4.2.


Our exams finished last week, we will have time to work on kapman now, 
but I wont spend all my evenings and week-ends on it ;)

Regards

Pierre-Benoit
