[Kde-games-devel] kpicross game

hey, 

a few years ago on one of the flights i wrote a picross/nanogram game.  (for 
those who don't know what that is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonogram )
i got bored with it as soon as a wrote it because (surprise, surprise) i 
created all the puzzles for it so it was a little difficult to make it 
challenging for myself. before kde 4 Jeremy updated it and today i hacked on 
it a bit and faced the same problem again.

the game is in playground/games/kpicross 

while playing it looks like this:

and if a puzzle is solved then, assuming the board offers it, the image showing 
a pretty version of the solution is shown as here:
http://ktown.kde.org/~zrusin/kpicross1.png (currently the screw is the only 
puzzle that offers such an image).

i figured i'll ask whether there's interest in a picross game in kdegames. 
personally i love picross but i think it goes without saying that by myself i 
won't have enough time to give it enough love so maybe someone would like to 
hack it with me. what it currently lacks is any kind of integration with 
kdegames module, a svg stylable board with hints, code to remember which 
puzzles have been completed and how quickly, nice animation on completing the 
puzzle and more puzzles =)
