Hello Kevin.

The first thing I recommend you to do is: pick a game you like, clone
its repository then try to install it on your machine. This way you'll
start to become familiar to things like git [1] and the game's
compilation process. You can of course e-mail this list at any time case
you find some trouble trying to build the project.

After that you can either implement a feature you'd like to see in the
game or fix one of its bugs. In any case you'll need to generate a diff
and open a review request on Review Board [2] once you're sure your code
is OK.

You can find all KDE games repositories at:
https://projects.kde.org/projects/kde/kdegames

[1] Git is the version control system most KDE projects use to manage
their repositories. You can find more about it at: http://git-scm.com/

[2] Review Board is the web system KDE projects use for reviewing
contributions. https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/
