1. Open Source Games at SourceForge(?) |
|
|
I read that there are open source games located at SourceForge (http://sourceforge.net). One could port them to OS/2 (or create a program to port them to OS/2)?
OS/2 Warp-ed to the very end.

| Hmm.. seems that one should look at little more often at SourceForge's different projects. Since as you mentioned when looking at http://sourceforge.net/softwaremap/trove_list.php?form_cat=80 following projects: Games/Entertainment - Board Games (194 projects) - First Person Shooters (344 projects) - Multi-User Dungeons (MUD) (527 projects) - Puzzle Games (175 projects) - Real Time Strategy (355 projects) - Role-Playing (842 projects) - Side-Scrolling/Arcade Games (198 projects) - Simulation (496 projects) - Turn Based Strategy (444 projects) What could be done is that people takes a deep lookse into what games they would like to see ported to OS2. Then there is the usually problem with who might do this. /Kim |

The OS/2 Games site at http://www.os2world.com is looking for open source games. There might be those who want to create something for OS/2 and would need something to start from and/or be inspired by. There might be someone with 'programmers block' (a code writers version of writers block[?]).  BigWarpGuy

| How about a poll on which games people/Warp users would like see for OS/2? Then take the results and give a partial list (from the SourceForge group with the most votes) and have a partial list of possible ports to OS/2 to see which people will like the most (this will give those wanting to port a game to OS/2 [for those who want to port it but are either just beginning to program or wanting to be inspired by something a chance to focus on something that people/Warp users want).
