Description Josh Rickmar 2007-01-16 02:47:01 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.5)
Installed from:    Unspecified

I was looking for a word game or puzzle for KDE that my mom could play, and I was supprised to see that there wasn't really anything in the Ubuntu repository (I use Kubuntu).  I looked on kde-apps.org, and there was very little.  There were only like two word games, and I couldn't get either of them to compile correctly.  Even after looking at happypenguin.org, I still couldn't find anything that would satisify her.
I think that, at least for KDE 4, there should be a very nice, high quality word game.  I don't know anything about coding, except for a (very) little Java, so I wouldn't be able to write it myself.  If someone could write a nice word game (either a clone of something like BookWorm/BeSpelled or an original) that could be great. :)

For your information:
 - We have a new game in the playground area of KDE4 that is based on 
Scrabble : Kombination. Playground games need time and approvals to reach one 
day the main game module. See: 
http://techbase.kde.org/Policies/SVN_Guidelines
 - We already have some word games in the KDE Edu module like Kanagram and 
KHangMan.

But of course, we miss a game like Bookworm.

I guess we can close this report due to being too old to be relevant.

Please Josh reopen if you still feel you lack a word game and precise which sort.
