β βπ 1.βFOSS Games
βββwhat is your favorite foss game? cataclysm:dda is pretty good.
ββββ
βββ βπ 2.β
ββββDo Nethack or DC:SS count? I love both of those games, even if
ββββthey're... "lacking"... in modern sensibilities.
ββββ
ββββProbably the FOSS games I play the most are Tetris in emacs and Gikopoi:
ββββand someone's working on making a Gikopoi client for emacs, written in
ββββemacs lisp, which is uhhh pretty unexpected??????
ββββ
ββββI kind of want to write a server for traditional games like cribbage in
ββββC and then make a client in emacs-lisp but I worry I'd never be able to
ββββfind friends to play those trad games with ;_; Just a websearch for
ββββ"backgammon emacs" is depressing enough as-is, (zero results), why
ββββbother writing several hundreds or thousands of lines of code to sit
ββββwaiting in a lobby to play a game with no one.... ;_;
ββββ
ββββIt's not FLOSS by any means, but one of my favorite "free" online games
ββββis Power Bomberman:

ββββSauerbraten is a classic, people still play it too. Don't know about
ββββAssaultCube but that used to be good too. I remember downloading that
ββββshit onto a USB in 7th grade and could play it anywhere, it was crazy.

βββ βπ 4.β
ββββWhat about Xonotic? It's a really good FOSS arena shooter.
βββββ

ββββi love cdda, i just love going with random characters and just trying to not die
ββββthere's so much in that game its amazing
βββββ
βββ βπ 6.βFOSS? I love those
ββββMy favorites are Moria, Sil and Sil Q.
ββββAngband feels too bloated.
ββββI love it when FOSS games focus on a tight experience that still feels
ββββit has "depth" to play.
ββββ
ββββHere's a fun one:
ββββShadow of the Wyrm.
ββββAnother RPG roguelike, try it out lads
βββββ
βββ βπ 7.β
ββββinfra arcana is good. i don't know if i'd say i dislike the 'downtime' of
ββββexploration in other roguelikes but it is refreshing to play one where
ββββstarting from the first floor you are always either in extreme danger or
ββββin close proximity to it.
βββββ
βββ βπ 8.β
ββββDwarf Fortress
