Provide a live DVD with a show case of games from Fedora.
The Fedora Games spin offers a perfect show-case of the best games available in Fedora.

* The games spin iso image will be limited to 4 GiB. Currently that is acheived by cutting Openarena. Alternatives should be at least looked at here. I don't want to cut addons with music (and the like) for included games. I'd rather have fewer better games. One approach is to build a version on top of the live base instead of live desktop to see which packages are added by the desktop, but not needed to support any of the games. The live desktop adds about 200 MB on top of the live base kickstart. So there isn't a lot to be gained there, but I want to look at it now, since there is so little headroom a minor change late in rawhide could bump the spin over.
* Review existing included games for suitability.
* There is a bug ([https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=476369 476369]) in the solar plugin that should get fixed. (Note that this probably affects most if not all live spins, so I am not going to hold up just the games spin for it.)
* Start making short test plans for all specifically included games.
* I have added a short note in the [[Documentation_Live_Image_Beat | Doc Beat for Live images]]. Is anything else necessary for release notes?
** This will not be complete by release.
** Most popular 3d games still don't work with the nouveau driver.
* There isn't much slack space, so game list shouldn't change much.

Summary

The Fedora Games spin offers a perfect show-case of the best games available in Fedora. The included games span several genres, from first person shooters to real-time and turn based strategy games to puzzle games. Not all the games available in Fedora are included on this spin, but trying out this spin will give you a fair impression of Fedora's abilities to run great games.

This is a great spin to hand out events where there will be people interested in test driving Fedora to see what it is like.

This spin includes a number of popular games including Battle for Wesnoth, FreeCiv, Scorched 3D, SuperTuxKart and Nethack.

Detailed Description

  • The spin is based off the XFCE desktop spin (minus wine). There is not room on a DVD for all of the games in Fedora. The intention is to try to include the best games from various genres. Included games should be playable without third party downloads. For some very large games or games that can use downloaded data, just a demo version might be included.

Benefit to Fedora

I think a games spin is more likely to get people to try it out than most other spins. As such it makes it a nice candidate for being handed out at events focusing on introducing people to Fedora. While the games are not going to be impressive for hard core gamers, there is a nice variety that is likely to have something of interest for most people. A liveusb based on the spin could be even better as that allows people to play their games on other people's computers while keeping their saved games and high score lists with them.
