A list of open source games sorted by genre. The projects are at least in beta stage with a code basis that builds into an executable demo. The code must be under a license that allows modification and sharing by others. For each entry, relevant information is collected regarding code repositories, download possibilities and build instructions.

Background
I love open source projects and games and I currently learn about building systems. I see the following benefits of this database and further actions I intend to do.
- General information about open source games
- Possibility of improving build instructions on the projects side (not all projects actually have build instructions)
- Simplifying builds
- Adding infrastructure for automatic testing and deploying where not already present
- Revival of abandoned games that do not build anymore
- Simplifying dependencies
- Increasing the number of supported platforms
I want to improve the process of building open source games, maybe even rescuing some lost projects. I concentrate on the hardware/software platforms that I have access to.
