imho, that's a great idea. 

as an additional spin on this, what do you think about inviting kde 
enthusiasts to come play the games from svn one day a month to give feedback 
and what not? i'd love to spend a few hours one saturday playing with your 
programs and actually be able to defend spending time playign around because 
"hey, this is serious business! i'm helping test the apps!" ;)

it would be seriously easy to set up and i bet we'd get a decent little 
turnout :)

(btw, i'm *loving* the new artwork and features in kdegames right now.. lots 
of great stuff there .. i was tempted the other day to hack on the intro 
screen for kpat to make the hover effect animate nicely (the glow just jumps 
on/off right now) and make it so when you click on one of the games it "zooms 
in" to the full size of the window while fading out (simple and nice effect) 
.. and i only feel those kinds of urges when i'm really enjoying a piece of 
software :)

> So who will be my buddy?

i'm tempted to make silly jokes about having eaten dinner with you and so i 
must qualify for sure ;)
