Re: Introduction for gaming packaging/maintaining

by Karsten Andreas Artz

Hi Kamil, personally I'd prefer containing the games on Flatpak to be more flexible and it can be provided for a hugh user base. I hope the games I've suggested now are mostly clones. Thus they might be included for Fedora. The Dark Mod sounds an interesting game! I've made a notice for your wish:) Cheers Andi Am Mittwoch, 10.

Hi Andi, only opensource software can be part of Fedora, and there are not that many opensource games out there (which are not already packaged for Fedora), so it might be a bit difficult to find something suitable and interesting (but some of the OS clones might be a good idea). Additionally regarding games packaging, you can consider making flatpaks instead of RPMs and submitting them to Flathub [1]. Flathub can not only contain opensource games, but also freeware and free-to-play games (let's talk about Linux-native games at the moment, incorporating Wine into them would be another level of difficulty). For example, I'd personally love to see The Dark Mod [2] available at Flathub. In Fedora you can also participate on packaging and maintaining game-related software, like emulators and launchers. Wine, Lutris and PLayOnLinux are the most visible ones, but then there are also lots of retro emulators, many of them not even in Fedora yet, I'd guess. So it depends on your experience and interests (both gaming and packaging). You could even participate in e.g. Lutris community in creating and maintaining scripts to allow easy installation of Windows and other platforms' games on Linux. The Gaming SIG [3] might provide a better advice, this is just what I know.

In the past couple months, there were a few discussions from people needing help on a few small things. Hopefully someone more informed than me can offer some pointers since I am not a games packager. Happy to have you here in the community! -- Cheers, Justin W. Flory jflory7(a)gmail.com

Shippy 1984

by Dennis Payne

I'm not great at packaging games. I keep thinking of packaging something new but never get around to it. Development is more my thing. So I took Shippy 1984 1.3.3.7 from Fedora sources. I applied all the patches in the srpm. I modified it to compile with SDL2. (SDL1 is still available.) I've just added a second player as well. I think there is still a bug of two in it. https://github.com/dulsi/shippy1984 Versioning is a bit of an issue. The original author's newest web site is: https://sites.google.com/site/ryanbroomfield/projects/shippy1984 It has 1.4.1. It changes it to use C++, the author's IGame header library, and only supports allegro5. The game code is largely unchanged. The IGame library uses lua so you need that to compile despite not using it. The question then becomes what to call my fork. The game has not seen an update in a long . I could go with 1.3.3.8 or 1.3.4 but then 1.4.1 is missing features. I could rename it but then the title screen and intro robotic voice needs updating (which I don't know what could be done for the later). I have emailed the author but have not heard back. BTW FreeGameDev has a hubzilla social networking site. I've been trying to encourage postings. Here is a link to search for screenshot sunday tag. https://social.freegamedev.net/search?tag=screenshotsunday -- Dennis Payne <dulsi(a)identicalsoftware.com>
