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.

### Adding a new entry
|
|
|
|
All entries are stored as markdown (quite human readable) format. Adding a new entry is as easy as modifying the
|
|
[template](games/template.md) and putting a modified version in a games category subdirectory.
|
|
|
|
Here is a description of the fields in the template. Comments start with "//".
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
# {NAME} // name of the game
|
|
|
|
_{Description}_ // single description line (typically taken from about page of game)
|
|
|
|
- Home: {URL} // project main site(s) (most significant first)
|
|
- Media: {URL} // links to wikipedia and other significant mentions
|
|
- State: {XX} // one of {beta, mature} and optional "inactive since YEAR"
|
|
- Play: {URL} // link(s) to online play possibility
|
|
- Download: {URL} // link(s) to download binary (or source) releases
|
|
- Platform: {XX} // list of supported platforms {Linux, Windows, MacOs, Android, ..}
|
|
- Keywords: {XX} // list of tags describing the game
|
|
- Code repository: {URL} // code repositories (most significant first)
|
|
- Code language: {XX} // programming language(s) used
|
|
- Code license: {XX} // license of the code, use "Custom" with comment if the license is modified for the project
|
|
- Code dependencies: {XX} // important third party libraries / frameworks used by the project
|
|
- Assets license: {XX} // license(s) of the assets (artwork, ..)
|
|
|
|
// whatever you want to put here
|
|
|
|
## Building
|
|
|
|
- Build system: {XX} // typically one of {CMake, Autoconf, Gradle, ..}
|
|
- Build instructions: {XX} // link(s) to build instructions offered by the project
|
|
|
|
// whatever you want to put here
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
- If there are multiple links, licenses, ... separate them by comma.
|
|
- The same link can be assigned to different fields (home could also be the code repository, etc.).
|
|
- Put comments in "()" parentheses (do not put commas in comments).
|
|
- Remove lines with fields that do not apply to the project or where information is not available otherwise.

## Background
|
|
|
|
I love open source projects and games and I am currently interested in learning more 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
|
|
- Conversion of old repository formats like CVS to Git
|
