I would not recommend KSudoku as a model for KDE Games code, even though
I am the current maintainer.  It is far more complex than it needs to be IMHO, but
it does do a good job of separating model and view, which is important.  Also,
until recently, it was unmaintained for a few years.

I proposed KDiamond because Stephan maintains it and uses it a testbed for
his latest ideas re libraries.  It is recently written, exploits more of the newer
library features than some of the older games and has a moderate source
code volume.
