Open Source Games

A collection 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. Related infos and tips geared toward building the games are collected here. Emphasis is on support for Windows, Linux and Android.

Motivation: 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.

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
