[Kde-games-devel] Moving KDots to KDE Review

[Ian Wadham]

Hello Minh,

This should go to the KDE Games list, not kde-core-devel.  Please reply on
kde-games-devel _only_, where I am also a member.

I am not sure where your repository is exactly (in the KDE Projects tree), but it
probably needs to be in Playground for a while before KDE Review.  We can talk
about this further when you are on the KDE Games list.

First impressions.  The documentation is indeed "small" and way short of the
standard required for a KDE Game, so the doco definitely needs work.  Also, I
cannot tell from it how to play this game nor which "game of dots" this is.  I found
one or two games called "dots" by Googling, but none resembling the game in
your screenshot.  We also already have a KDE Game called KSquares, sometimes
known as Dots and Boxes, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dots_and_Boxes.

So please could you provide a fuller description of the game --- or a link to such
a description?

Looking forward to hearing more,
All the best, Ian W.
