Description: KDiamond is a three-in-a-row game (much like Bejeweled) for the KDE 4 desktop. It will ship with KDE 4.1 in Summer.Last changelog:
2008/02/27 - Version 0.3 performance and stability improvements
2008/02/15 - Version 0.2 port to Qt's Graphics View framework new default theme with remove animation; configuration dialog to select theme greeter removed; replaced by popup items on the board timer can show minutes separately sound events; configuration dialog to change the sounds many bugfixes (see the commit log at http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/playground/games/kdiamond/?view=log for details)
Probably stupid question, but I made a couple of changes that allows you to play an untimed game, nothing spectacular or anything, just a little checkbox in the Settings menu for untimed game.
Someone else here asked for one and I was wondering how I'd make a patch or anything for the code, I've made the changes to the files in this tar.gz because I couldn't get it to compile from SVN.
tl;dr: How do I make patch of my changes.
The cmake is looking for a LibKDEGames_DIR. There is no libkdegames4-dev or such on Debian Sid or experimental. Where do I get it?
(I do not think kubuntu stuff is comparable with Debian's)
Gentoo ebuild for 0.2 that at least works in my box:

src_unpack() {

sed -i -e '/find_package(LibKDEGames REQUIRED)/d' ${S}/CMakeLists.txt || die "Sed failed"
}
The current version of KDiamond is now being developed in KDE SVN (more precisely in the trunk/playground/games).
What you can find there is a development version where huge parts of the internal code have been replaced. If you want to use a stable version you should get KDiamond from here.
I revoke. After having fixed many side-cases, the current SVN version seems to run better than what you're seeing here.
However, the graphics are not as nice. The new graphics engine has problems with antialiasing and the old tiled background (this is hopefully solved by new artwork which is in process).
If you're brave, checkout the latest SVN revision and test the upcoming KDiamond 0.2!
This is one of my favorite games! It's great to have a KDE4 version. It works well here, no crashes.
I'd like to suggest one thing though, a "timeless" game mode where you can play until there are no matches left.
Thanks!

I crash while trying to make a match while the diamonds were falling. Very nice though. I installed kdegames libs just to get this wonderful game.
