An Introduction to KDE Games
,----[ Quote ]
| For a long time KDE has come with an
| assortment of games. Collectively, this suite
| of games is simply called âKDE Gamesâ. With
| the advent of KDE 4, all of the KDE games were
| given face lifts and a standard set of
| features that make moving from game to game a
| seamless exercise.
|
| The games are two dimensional and do not run
| inside of a separate layer like SDL. Instead
| they run inside a normal KDE window, utilizing
| the standard QT interface. Nevertheless, the
| rendering of of the graphics is amazingly
| impressive because of the use of SVG vector
| graphics. With SVG, the animations are smooth
| and the images are scalable. You can play in a
| small window or maximize it without losing any
| of its quality.

KDE time travel
,----[ Quote ]
| In my âquestâ to update KDE-related Wikipedia
| articles, I had to do more research than I
| expected and I needed to fix things I didnât
| expect. But that research was fun, too. It
| brought me back in time when I was still a
| teen who tried to get some ancient Linux
| distribution working and fiddled around with
| KDE 1.

Gluon Decides on New Structure in Preparation for First Release
,----[ Quote ]
| The freedom of gamers as it is now is limited
| by the game industry's old fashioned
| insistence on limiting the distribution of
| games. Gluon aims at breaking this by
| providing both the makers of games and the
| players of games with a new platform for
| sharing the experience of playing games, and
| for providing feedback to each other - both in
| the form of comments and ratings, but also
| through a donation based payment system. So:
| There's a revolution coming where the freedom
| of gaming is at the center.

Five Improvements for KDE 4.5 (Part 2)
,----[ Quote ]
| In my opinion, the KDE4 desktop is the most
| revolutionary piece of Linux software since
| the Linux kernel itself, and I appreciate how
| it strives to challenge old desktop paradigms
| and introduce new ones.

Five Improvements for KDE 4.5 (Part 1)
,----[ Quote ]
| 4.) Easier Theme Installation
| Another issue I had with KDE (even with the
| KDE3.x series) is that themes are so easy to
| install in GNOME, but a pain in KDE. While
| installing new themes is still easiest to do
| in GNOME (download, drag, and drop) KDE SC 4.4
| has made strides in this area, finally. It can
| only get better from here.
|
| [...]
|
| So, there you have it. Those are
| features/changes I wished for during previous
| KDE releases that have all materialized into
| reality. With such progress, itâs clear that
| KDE is moving at the speed of light, and I
| predict KDE SC 4.5 will be the height of the
| KDE4 series. What am I hoping for in that
| release? Stay tuned next week to find out, and
| be ready to share your ideas so we can help
| make KDE the best it can be.
