[Kde-games-devel] GSOC-2013 ideas

[Viranch Mehta]

Hi Anant,

The current GSoC idea listed includes only porting a game to QtQuick to look 
(and work) *exactly* the same as the current one, along with the gameplay 
rules, features and scoring remaining the same. Only after the port is stable 
can new features be added. I think porting one game, and making sure the port 
is stable and there are no regressions will in itself take up the time of one 
entire GSoC project.

So while your ideas are really welcome, you first have to port the game to 
QtQuick before you can implement your features. What I'd suggest is you can 
start porting Kollision instead of implementing the new features if you have 
time left after porting KBomber.
