[Kde-games-devel] Re: Tagaro as an application?

Hi,

reading your comments, I realize it's a bad idea to build this idea around the 
Steam example. I'm well aware that all the server-side bits are available in 
OD.o, Synchrotron, GGZ, whatever. I wanted to talk about how the end user 
experience should look like.

Apps fire up dialogs for these in most cases. I don't think it would be much 
of a difference if the dialog was provided by an external application, which 
is available in any case because it comes with the base library (just like a 
KDE application can expect kbuildsycoca4 or nepomuk-rcgen to be available 
because these come with kdelibs).

You mean, just with libattica? That would basically be what I need to do, too, 
because KNS3 is by design fixed to server-provided static content, and not 
useful for highscores and the like.
