[Kde-games-devel] granatier

In a bit of a hurry, so I'll have to just dump this and let it explain
itself. ^___^;

Slightly happier with the proposed "arena_launcher".  Also, to make
the arena tiles match better, I redid arena_mine so that it doesn't
look so out of place.

That.... sounds awesome....
Sorry if I can't visualize that code, but I trust it will have the
intended effect. ^^


> yes, it does, but you can see how it will look.

True that, but I do take some comfort from viewing it straight from
KHelpCenter.  I would probably do it the next time in order to provide
an alternative viewing file for my changes (both docbook and html),

hehe, let me guess,... With a "k", it means something else, lol.  :P

With Skate, I envision that the player will keep moving regardless of
whether the keys are pressed or not -- the keys would only be used to
change directions while under this influence.  Doesn't sound so bad on
paper, but when you're either 1) very fast already, or 2) in tight
corridors, this would surely lead to more mistakes.

And then there's that extra bit of evil if you travel over an ice
patch with Skate.  ^^;

My primary machine has a regular 17" screen with 1280x1024 resolution.
 I do however also use my 9" netbooks a lot as well as my old EeePC 4G
from time to time, so I certainly wouldn't go nuts if only because I
myself wouldn't be able to play them on these machines (without at
least squinting a lot).  :P

But a map large enough to give 4 or 5 players a little more breathing
room could enjoy some good replay value.  ^^

Oh, you'd destroy me. ^___^;
I said I liked the Bomberman series, but I never said I was ever
actually good at them, lol.  :P
[same with Megaman and other such series].
