Ask HN: Which Do you know any open source games?
I wanted to play games, but I was tired of constant programs with ads and trackers, so I'm looking for interesting open source games (genre doesn't matter), because I like looking at the code of such games.
So please tell me the games you know or maybe created yourself.
- JoshTriplett 1y agoBattle for Wesnoth is fun, and there are many great add-ons available. I particularly recommend the SX, RPG, and similar maps, which give you a single strong unit each (single-player or multiplayer co-op) that advances and levels up, facing a huge horde. Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup is great if you enjoy roguelikes. It's designed to avoid a lot of the manual tracking needed in other roguelikes; for instance, you can search for where you left an item, or hit one key to explore unvisited areas of the current floor until you see anything unusual. Hedgewars is a clone of Worms, if you're familiar with that. Shattered Pixel Dungeon is fun, and available on mobile devices.

- raihankr 1y agoPioneer Space Sim, it offers unlimited space exploration in a huge procedural generated universe. It's like a mix of KSP and No Man's Sky. 0 A.D., it has a gameplay like AOE with a theme of the 0 A.D. periods. Xonotic, a fast-paced online FPS game, but it looks like the server don't have much players recently. The Dark Mod brings you an experience of being a thief and sneaking through the darkness. It has a lot of community-made maps. If you'd like, I have an open source-game called Dungeon Maze (https://github.com/raihankr/dungeon-maze https://github.com/raihankr/dungeon-maze). It's a maze solving game with 2d pixel graphics. It was made with vanilla HTML, CSS, and JS. Utilizing the HTML canvas, I didn't use any game engine library in the development.
