[Kde-games-devel] Alternate solutions not allowed in KNetwalk 3.5.9

[Fela Winkelmolen]

The reason why I don't consider a game with only the terminals connected as 
solved is because most methods to solve the game evolve around the fact that 
there is only one correct solution. How would you solve a sudoku if you knew 
there where more then one possible solutions? =)

KGamePopupItem uses QGraphicsScene, but KNetWalk doesn't, so a rewrite would 
be needed to be able to use that class. Anyway the message shouldn't need to 
be shown very often, and it's important enough to warrant the intrusiveness. 
Also, if I recall correctly, it has a "don't show again" option.
The main problem is that users don't _know_ they also have to connect all 
cables, once that is taken care of I don't see any problem.
