[Kde-games-devel] KMahjongg editor - deprecated code

[Ian Wadham]

Hi guys,

KMahjongg has a layout editor for making new layouts of tiles.
It is accessible via the menu item 'Game->Board Editor', but I
think it is very rarely used.  In fact, I can think of only one or two
cases where it has been used in the last 13 years.  Also KMahjongg
already has more than enough layouts to choose from, IMHO.

The problem is that it contains a small remaining usage of the
deprecated KGameCanvas graphics class.  Most of the editor
graphics is in line with the newer graphics from the qgraphic
branch, but the FrameImage class is not.  That class draws a
little wire-frame cursor that follows the mouse pointer and can
be used to place tiles in the layout being created or edited.

So what to do?

1. Drop the layout editor from KMahjongg?
2. Port the cursor to be an ordinary descendant of QWidget?
3. Port the cursor in some other way that can draw it on the Editor view?
3. Do nothing?  Keep using the deprecated KGameCanvas?

If 2 or 3, any volunteers?

Cheers, Ian W.
