== Summary ==
 
To provide a Fedora Games Spin (live dvd) as part of the Fedora 11 release
 
== Owner ==
* Name: [[User:bruno| Bruno Wolff]]
 
== Current status ==
 
* Targeted release: Fedora 11
* Initial kickstart file exists in git repo
* Test iso images are being produced and the game list is being adjusted due to size
* BrunoWolff will be trying to get the games spin working in F10 and then carry fixes forward to F11
* Percentage of completion: 10%
 
== Detailed Description ==
 
Fedora 8 had a games spin, which unfortunately was not maintained for Fedora 9. There were problems building it for Fedora 10 that were not resolved in time for the release. This is an attempt to revive this spin for Fedora 11.
 
== Benefit to Fedora ==
 
It would be great to demonstrate to gamers that Fedora is a more viable platform for them. We also will be including edutainment applications for kids to learn.
 
== Scope ==
 
We will include many games that are not installed by default in the desktop spin.  Since the total set of games will not fit on a single DVD, we will try to include the more polished games available, including those that require 3D graphics support and network play.
 
== Test Plan ==
 
Release alpha and beta releases in sync with Fedora 11
 
Test that the Applications->Games menu has the correct subcategories
 
Test that each game starts when run from the Application->Games menu
 
Test a sample of 3D games to ensure that they work on supported 3D hardware (How do we get coverage of the various video cards?)
 
Verify that sound (music, sound effects) work in a sample of games
 
Verify that network games work with the livedvd networking out of the box
 
Verify that automatic screen mode switching works for games in fullscreen mode
 
== User Experience ==
 
A similar experience to the default desktop spin, except that the Applications->Games menu will be populated with a large number of games split into subcategories.
 
== Dependencies ==
 
This spin depends on a working -desktop and/or -xfce spin.
 
There is not a lot of interdependency between the individual games, so the final list of games that will be included will likely continue to change as new games are added before F-11 is released
 
== Contingency Plan ==
 
* Don't include a spin
 
== Documentation ==
 
* We can provide a list of all of the games included in the spin, but will not include a description and documentation for each and every game.  Some brief documentation of some games is being maintained at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Games
 
== Release Notes ==
 
* Ditto as documentation
 
== Comments and Discussion ==
 
* See [[Talk:Features/GamesSpin]]
