Diamond Crush
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net
Diamond Crush is a puzzle game to be released worldwide before the end of 2006 by the Italian Diamonds Team, totally for free on different PC operating systems, under open source Public Domain license. The First Playable Version, a sort of pre-alpha for offline multiplayer gaming only, is already available for download onto the official game site for playtesting purposes.
The game has been developed in java 1.5 using lwjgl library and agile development methodologies, such as Test-Driven Development (TDD) and Extreme Programming (XP), both adapted to a context where the development team isn't located in the same place, but spread throughout a whole country (as Italy, in this case).
Attention: Java 1.5 ***MUST*** be installed

I can't see how an article about a FREE game can be seen as commercial or spam.

Such games could be added to happypenguin.org, but kde-apps.org is not a good place for them.

Just because it's free doesn't mean it should be on here. The license is kinda weird too; I haven't found a real "license" (public domain is not a license).
Doesn't mean the game doesn't look interesting, just that it shouldn't be here.

if the license is something strange) and
runs well in kde that's good enough for me
to be here....
Also misrecognizing as a commercial game
means it's at least graphically well done,
or not?

And yes the graphics does look good, though I'm not the one who said it is commercial software :P

"[...] the Diamonds Project, a free didactic collaborative project to learn on the field how a videogame is actually produced and completed, making use of agile programming methodologies, such as Test Driven Development (TDD) and Extreme Programming (XP)"
maybe not actually KDE related, but doesn't look commercial neither
