This is an absolutely awesome open source game. I keep a list of awesome open source games and its one of only two super high quality ones I've been able to find. It also has an embedded SpiderMonkey engine for scripting which was really useful when I was trying to figure out how to get an embedded scripting engine setup a while ago. Heres the link to its source for those interested: https://github.com/0ad/0ad https://github.com/0ad/0ad The other game Hedgewars has a great haskell server, you can read a summary here with lnk to source: https://github.com/jwaterfaucett/awesome-foss-apps#hedgewars https://github.com/jwaterfaucett/awesome-foss-apps#hedgewars. Anyway tip of the hat to O A.D devs they are doing a great job!

A bit off-topic, but do you mind sharing that awesome list?

  I'm guessing it's this: https://github.com/jwaterfaucett/awesome-foss-apps https://github.com/jwaterfaucett/awesome-foss-apps

  sure the list is awesome-foss-apps in my original post (https://github.com/jwaterfaucett/awesome-foss-apps https://github.com/jwaterfaucett/awesome-foss-apps), would've just posted the direct link to Hedgewars but the original link gives a good summary of why hedgewars is so awesome from a devs perspective :)

    Have you played Battle for Wesnoth?[0] I would seriously consider including it in your list. Insanely fun and difficult turn-based game. [0] http://wesnoth.org/ http://wesnoth.org/

Have a look at StuntRally too, if you're after well executed OSS games: http://stuntrally.tuxfamily.org/ http://stuntrally.tuxfamily.org/ It does have some initial weirdness and getting used to in the GUI, but it plays really great and looks stunning (even on "average" graphical details, which you should pick unless you have a high-end GPU)
