Bringing atlantik back to life?

Does everybody remember atlantik? It was a fantastic network monopoly game that was moderately popular up until about a few months ago, when Ubuntu removed the software from its repositories and (it seems) Arch did as well.

The software was dropped from Ubuntu because it was not compatible with KDE 4. The development team did not upgrade the software and judging by the atlantik website, it seems the development has halted.

So my question to the Arch community is this - can we revive this project? Is there any interest in doing so? Would anyone be willing to sign on?

I'd hate to see such a great app just die off...

Re: Bringing atlantik back to life?

Good news, everybody!

I managed to get in contact with a member of the KDE Games team. He explained that he is definitely open to reviving this project and has indicated that he could help get some developers started.

Now onto the next bit of good news. I managed to find a copy of the 0.7.1 source files (they are a bit hard to come by) and it seems that the software is written in C++. Thankfully, I know a bit of C++ and would love to sign onto this project.

I don't think I can do this alone, though. Is anybody willing to sign on with me?
