| Package | Description | License | wanted by | remark |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BabyChess | Chess Program with nice GUI | GPL | Users | Chess program with GNOME GUI; supports XBoard engines; view & edit PGN and FEN; ICS client. Sample screenshot. |
| CubeTest | Find the correct cube. | GPL | Users | More addictive than minesweeper. |
| Dark Oberon | Real-time strategy game. | GPL | Users | Very nice graphics. |
| DOOM | Doom! | GPL | Users | *Begs for Quake and Doom* Quake and Doom are GPL.
Only the engine is GPL, but the content is not! A package would be pretty useless therefore. (sndirsch) There are many Doom clones out there. Prboom for example. IT's perfectly fine to add Doom to SUSE. Doom and other similar software is not included for legal reasons. The game itself and the promotion of the game is only allowed to persons of legal age or some versions are even indexed in some countries which are part of the European Union. We do want to stay out of those problems and therefor do not include it. --Holger 07:24, 24 Aug 2005 (MDT) Ah.... That seriously blows. The reason I said Quake or Doom originally, was because I know that Wolfenstein is not allowed at all to posses or play in Germany. So I tried for the other two. I understand your position here though. |

"You cannot distribute the client,[...]", the homepage says... --Cotrinox 21:41, 23 June 2006 (UTC) The project leader, Luca Pancallo, explained in an email to me how special grants can be given: "Hi, the license forbids distribution in all forms to preserve our work, but that doesn't exclude that we can give special grants. We often do that for magazines or web sites, and can be done for specific distro also. There are some formal steps we have to go through with the maintainer of the distro. He should agree to a small document that basically excludes commercial usage, modification of files, etc..." If I understand him correctly, that means PlaneShift cannot be shrink wrapped and sold, but may be included as a download at no cost. The PlaneShift license page explains what is GPLed, what is not, and their rationale for doing it this way. In short, someone at Novell must do a little paperwork. :-) -- HaakonME 13:38, 30 July 2006 (UTC) |
| PlanetPenguin Racer | The continuation of Tuxracer | GPL | Victor Fernandez | This game is the continuation of Tuxracer. Since Tuxracer is GPL and the development stopped in 2001, this project decided to continue with the development of the game. So I think we should remove Tuxracer from SUSE in favor of this game, since it's the same as Tuxracer but with a lot more maps and a decent GUI to configure the game options.
IMHO a good idea. tuxracer should be replaced. (sndirsch) |
| RealTimeBattle | Programming Game | GPL | Users | In RealTimeBattle robots written in any programming language will fight in a team or alone against each other in an arena, that is visualized on the screen. Each robot is equipped with a radar and a canon. The movements are calculated physically correct. |

| Sauerbraten "Cube 2" | A redesign of the Cube Game/Engine. | zlib/libpng License | Gamers | This is the sequel to Cube, a popular OpenGL FPS game. Sauerbraten has not let it's predecessor down and has expanded game play and looks more stunning than ever. Not to mention the revamping editing engine allows for faster editing and more features. Sauerbraten is a must have for any gamer, and would be a very desirable addition to OpenSuse. Sauerbraten is also under the ZLIB license and is therefore open source friendly. |

| Tower Toppler | Reimplementation of the 1988 game with the same name | GPL | Gamers | It's also known as Nebulus. |

It's powered by the excellent Vamos physics engine. It is released under the GNU General Public License (GPL) v2. It is currently available for Linux and Windows.
Looking at all these trademarks on the cars it is unlikely that (open)SUSE will ever ship VDrift. (sndirsch) Hi, I'm a developer with the VDrift project. We just released a new version 2005-11-03, which has removed all trademarked names from the game. (thelusiv) Indeed. All the trademarks have been removed. Thanks! But the gcc 4.0 issue remains. Maybe this will get fixed with gcc 4.1 by accident. (sndirsch) |
