Game
Most generally game is a form of play which is restricted by certain
rules, the goal of which is typically [1]fun, providing challenge and/or
[2]competition (and sometimes more, e.g. [3]education, training etc.). A
game may have various combinations of mathematical/mental elements (e.g.
competitive mental calculations, mathematically defined rules, ...),
physical elements (based in [4]real life physics, e.g. [5]football,
[6]marble racing, ...) and even other types of elements (e.g. social,
psychological, ...); nowadays very popular games are [7]computer games, a
type of video games (also gaymes, video gaems or vidya, e.g. [8]Anarch,
[9]minesweeper, [10]Doom, ...), which are played with the help of a
computer. Other types of games are e.g. board games (such as [11]chess),
various sports ([12]football, athletics and so on), card games (such as
[13]poker), parlour games, puzzles and so on. An entity (human, computer,
animal, ...) playing a game is called a player and his ability to play it
well is called [14]skill; however some games may involve pure
[15]randomness and chance which may limit or even eliminate the need of
skill (e.g. [16]rock paper scissors). Game is also a [17]mathematical term
in [18]game theory which studies games and competition rigorously.
A fun take at the very concept of a game is [19]Nomic, a game in which
changing the game rules is part of the game. It leads to all kinds of
mindfucks.
What does a good game look like? It is [20]simple, [21]LRS and
[22]beautiful, with only a few rules, but has great depth and provides
endless hours of [23]fun and challenge -- so called [24]easy to learn,
hard to master. From mathematical point of view the game's simple rules
open up a complex world that's deep enough to keep exploring forever --
for this reason it's best if solving the game is for example [25]NP hard
and players therefore have to look for [26]heuristics for playing it
efficiently. A good game is [27]free, owned by no one, belonging to the
people, and lives its own life by relying on self imposed goals rather
than "content consumption" in form of constant [28]updates and centralized
control by some kind of "owner" (as is the case with capitalist games) --
i.e. despite having a goal, the game doesn't try to hard force the player
to do something, but rather opens up a nice environment (in which the main
goal is but one of many fun things to do) for player's own creativity
(once the player beats the game, he may e.g. try to beat it [29]as fast as
possible, play it with some deliberate limitation, try to play it as bad
as possible, combine it with other games etc.). One such nice game is
possibly [30]racetrack. For competition it's probably best if the game is
symmetric, i.e. all players have (at least as much as possible) equal
conditions (same weapons, same goals, ...) -- this ensures that the game
always stays balanced, even when new tricks are being discovered as these
can be utilized by everyone.
Types Of Games
It's quite hard to exactly define what a game is, it is a [31]fuzzy
concept, and it is also hard to categorize games. Let us now define a
simple classification of games by their basic nature, which will hopefully
be suitable for us here:
* [32]mathematical games: Games taking place in an abstract mathematical
space, with exactly defined rules. Though mathematical games may of
course be represented in real life (e.g. by physical chess pieces made
of wood or a physical Rubik's cube), such a representation is only a
helper for the player and doesn't rule the game out of this category.
Mathematicians try to solve these games in various ways, e.g. by
trying to construct an [33]algorithm for perfect play or proving that
with perfect play one of the players can always secure a win.
* [34]computer games: Mathematical games that practically REQUIRE a
computer (and usually have been design as such) to be played due
to the computations involved being very numerous and/or complex
-- for example [35]Doom.
* non-computer mathematical games: Mathematical games that do not
require a computer (though of course their computer
implementations may exist) as the calculations involved can be
practically performed without it -- for example [36]chess.
* [37]real life games: Games taking place in real life, i.e. usually
making use of real world physics or other laws (e.g. social ones) --
for example [38]football or [39]marble racing.
* hybrid games: Various combinations of mathematical and real life
games, e.g. [40]chess boxing.
Furthermore many different ways of division and classifications are widely
used -- for example computer games may be divided as any other software
([41]free vs [42]proprietary, [43]suckless vs [44]bloat, ...), but also by
many other aspect such as their genre, interface, platform etc. The
following are common divisions we find usually among computer games, but
often applicable to other typed of games also:
* by genre:
* [45]minigames
* [46]shooters
* [47]role playing
* [48]tower defenses
* [49]racing
* [50]platformers
* [51]strategy
* [52]adventures
* [53]sport
* [54]sandbox
* ...
* by game design:
* [55]easy to learn, hard to master
* [56]hard to learn, easy to master
* [57]easy to learn, easy to master
* [58]hard to learn, hard to master
* [59]symmetric vs asymmetric gameplay
* ...
* by number of players:
* [60]zero player
* [61]single player
* [62]multiplayer
* [63]massively multiplayer
* by [64]information:
* [65]complete information
* [66]incomplete information
* by interface/graphics/world representation:
* [67]2D
* [68]3D
* [69]"pseudo3D"/primitive3D
* [70]command line/text
* audio
* ...
* by importance of skill:
* purely skill based
* involving chance
* purely chance based
* by time management:
* [71]realtime
* [72]turn based
* by platform
* [73]real life
* [74]computer ([75]console vs [76]PC, ...)
* [77]pen and paper
* by budget/scale/financing:
* hobbyist/amateur
* [78]indie
* [79]AAA
* by [80]business model:
* [81]freeware
* [82]shareware
* [83]free to play
* [84]subscription, [85]"software as a service"
* buy once
* [86]pay to win
* [87]pay what you want/donation
* [88]adware
* [89]spyware
* [90]rapeware
* ...
* ...
Computer Games
[91]Computer game is most commonly understood to be [92]software whose
main purpose is to be played and, nowadays in most cases interactively,
entertain the [93]user; in a wider sense it may perhaps be anything we
might call a game that happens to run on a computer (e.g. game theory
games that serve research rather than entertainment etc.). Let us
implicitly assume the former now. Sadly most such computer games are
[94]proprietary and [95]toxic, as anything that's a subject of lucrative
[96]business under [97]capitalism.
Among [98]suckless software proponents there is a disagreement about
whether games are legit software or just a [99]meme and harmful kind of
entertainment. The proponents of the latter argue something along the
lines that technology is there only to get real work done, that games are
for losers, that they hurt MUH [100]PRODUCTIVITY, are an unhealthy
addiction, wasted time and effort etc. Those in support of games as
legitimate software see them as a valid form of relaxation, a form of
[101]art that's pleasant both to make and enjoy as a finished piece, and
also a way to advancing technology along the way (note we are NOT talking
about consumerist games here; any consumerist art is bad). Developing
games has historically led to improvements of other kinds of software,
especially e.g. [102]3D rendering, physics simulation and virtual reality.
If games are done well, in a non-[103]capitalist way, then we, [104]LRS,
fully accept and support games as legitimate software; of course as long
as their purpose is to help all people, i.e. while we don't reject games
as such, we reject most games the industry produces nowadays. We further
argue that in games it is acceptable to do what in real life is unethical
(even to characters controlled by other live players) and that this is in
fact one of their greatest potential: to allow satisfying natural needs
that were crucial in the jungle but became obsolete and harmful in
advanced society, such as those for [105]competition, violence,
[106]fascism, [107]egoistic behavior and others -- provided the player can
tell the difference between a game and real life of course. As such, games
help us build a [108]better society in which people can satisfy even
harmful needs without doing actual harm; in a game it is acceptable to
torture people, roleplay as a [109]capitalist or even verbally bully other
players in chat (who joined the server willingly knowing this is just a
simulation, a roleplay), even though these things would be unacceptable to
do in real life.
Despite arguments about the usefulness of games, most people agree on one
thing: that the mainstream AAA games produced by big [110]corporations
(and nowadays basically just all commercial games, even the small ones,
especially e.g. mobile games) are [111]harmful, [112]bloated, [113]toxic,
badly made and designed to be highly malicious, consumerist products whose
sole purpose is to rape the user. They are one of the worst cases of
[114]capitalist software ([115]rapeware). Such games are never going to be
considered anywhere near good from our perspective (and even the
mainstream is turning towards classifying modern games as [116]shit), not
even if they do some good.
PC games are mostly made for and played on [117]MS Windows which is still
the "gaming OS", even though in recent years we've seen a boom of
"[118]GNU/[119]Linux gaming", possibly thanks to Windows getting shittier
and shittier every year. While smallbrains see this as good, in fact it
only leads to more windowization of GNU/Linux, i.e. games will just move
to GNU/Linux, make it the new place of business and destroy it just as
surely (indeed for example [120]Valve is already raping it, by 2023
"Linux" is already almost unusable as it became more mainstream and
popular). Many normies nowadays are practicing "mobile" or console gayming
which may be even worse, but really choosing between PC, consoles and
phones is like choosing which kind of torture is best to endure before
death. Sadly most games, even when played on [121]GNU/Linux, are still
[122]proprietary, [123]capitalist and [124]bloated as hell. So yeah, the
world of mainstream and even mainstream indie games is one big swamp
that's altogether best to be avoided.
{ If you are really so broken that you HAVE TO play proprietary games to
live a meaningful life, the least harmful way for everyone is to
[125]SOMEHOW GET YOUR HANDS ON old DOS games, or maybe games for some old
consoles like [126]gameboy, [127]playstation 1 etc., or at worst some pre
2005 Windowzee gaymes, and play them in [128]dosbox/[129]wine or engine
recreations like [130]OpenMW etc. Yeah it's dirty, proprietary, non-free
shit, but at least you don't need a supercomputer, you won't be tortured
by ads, robbed by microthefts or bullied into consuming Internet. It's
best if you just use this method to slowly rid yourself of your gayming
addiction to be finally free. Also make sure to absolutely NEVER pay for a
proprietary game -- NO, not even an indie one. Give the money to the
homeless. ~drummyfish }
We might call this the great tragedy of games: the industry has become
similar to the industry of drug abuse. Games feel great and can become
very addictive, especially to people not aware of the dangers (children,
retards, ...). Today not playing latest games makes you left out socially,
out of the loop, a weirdo. Therefore contrary to the original purpose of a
game -- that of making life better and bringing joy -- an individual "on
games" from the capitalist industry will crave to constantly consume more
and more "experiences" that get progressively more expensive to satisfy.
This situation is purposefully engineered by the big game producers who
exploit psychological and sociological phenomena to enslave gamers and
make them addicted. Games become more and more predatory and abusive and
of course, there are no moral limits for corporations of how far they can
go: games with [131]microthefts and lootboxes, for example, are similar to
gambling, and are often targeted at very young children and people prone
to gambling addictions. The game industry cooperates with the hardware and
software industry to together produce a consumerist hell in which one is
required to constantly [132]update his hardware and software and to keep
spending money just to stay in. The gaming addiction is so strong that
even the [133]FOSS people somehow create a mental exception for games and
somehow do not mind e.g. [134]proprietary games even though they otherwise
reject proprietary software. Even most of the developers of free software
games can't mentally separate themselves from the concepts set in place by
capitalist games, they try to subconsciously mimic the toxic attributes of
such games (bloat, unreasonably realistic graphics and hardware demands,
content consumerism, [135]cheating "protection", language filters and safe
spaces, ...).
Therefore it is crucial to stress that games are [136]technology like any
other, they can be exploiting and abusive, and so indeed all the high
standards we hold for other technology we must also hold for games. Too
many people judge games solely by their externals, i.e. gameplay, looks
and general fun they have playing them. For us at [137]LRS gameplay is but
one attribute, and not even the one of greatest importance; factors such
as [138]software freedom, [139]cultural freedom, [140]sucklessness, good
internal design and being [141]future proof are even more important.
A small number of games nowadays come with a [142]free engine, which is
either official (often retroactively freed by its developer in case of
older games) or developed by volunteers. Example of the former are the
engines of ID games ([143]Doom, [144]Quake), example of the latter can be
[145]OpenMW (a free engine for TES: Morrowind) or [146]Mangos (a free
server for [147]World of Warcraft). Console [148]emulators (such as of
Playstation or Gameboy) can also be considered a free engine for playing
proprietary games.
Yet a smaller number of games are completely free (in the sense of
[149]Debian's free software definition), including both the engine and
game assets. These games are called free games or libre games and many of
them are clones of famous proprietary games. Examples of these probably
(one can rarely ever be sure about legal status) include
[150]SuperTuxKart, [151]Minetest, [152]Xonotic, [153]FLARE or [154]Anarch.
There exists a wiki for libre games at https://libregamewiki.org and a
developer forum at https://forum.freegamedev.net/. Libre games can also be
found in Debian software repositories. However WATCH OUT, all mentioned
repositories may be unreliable!
{ NOTE: Do not blindly trust libregamewiki and freegamedev forum, non-free
games ocassionaly DO appear there by accident, negligence or even by
intention. I've actually found that most of the big games like
SuperTuxKart have some licensing issues (they removed one proprietary
mascot from STK after my report). Ryzom has been removed after I brought
up the fact that the whole server content is proprietary and secret. So if
you're a purist, focus on the simpler games and confirm their freeness
yourself. Anyway, LGW is a good place to start looking for libre games. It
is much easier to be sure about freedom of suckless/LRS games, e.g. Anarch
is legally safe practically with 100% certainty. ~drummyfish }
Some games are pretty based as they don't even require [155]GUI and are
only played in the text [156]shell (either using [157]TUI or purely
textual I/O) -- these are called TTY games or command line games. This
kind of games may be particularly interesting to [158]minimalists,
hobbyists and developers with low ([159]zero) budget, little spare time
and/or no artistic skills. Roguelike games are especially popular here;
there sometimes even exist GUI frontends which is pretty neat -- this
demonstrates how the [160]Unix philosophy can be applied to games.
Another kind of cool games are computer implementations of non-computer
games, for example [161]chess, [162]backgammon, [163]go or various card
games. Such games are very often well tested and fine-tuned gameplay-wise,
popular with active communities and therefore [164]fun, yet simple to
program with many existing free implementations and good AIs (e.g. GNU
chess, GNU go or [165]Stockfish). What's more, they are also many times
completely [166]public domain!
{ There is a great lost world of nice old-style games that used to be made
for old dumb phones with [167]Java (J2ME) -- between about 2000 and 2010
there were tons and tons of quality Java mobile games that had e.g. entire
magazines dedicated solely to them. These games are mostly lost and
impossible to find, even videos of them, but if you can somehow get your
hands on some of those old magazines, you're in for a great nostalgia
trip. Check out e.g. Stolen in 60 seconds, Alien Shooter 3D, Gangstar
([168]GTA clone), Playman World Soccer, Paid to Kill, Tibia Online,
Ancient Empires, Legacy (dungeon crawler), Townsmen, Juiced 3D, Midtown
Madness and myriad of others. ~drummyfish }
Games As LRS
Computer games can be [169]suckless and just as any other software should
try to adhere to the [170]Unix philosophy. A [171]LRS game should follow
all the principles that apply to any other kind of such software, for
example being completely [172]public domain or aiming for high
[173]portability and getting [174]finished. This is important to mention
because, sadly, many people see games as some kind of exception among
software and think that different technological or moral rules apply --
this is wrong.
If you want to make a simple LRS game, there is an official LRS [175]C
library for this: [176]SAF.
A LRS game will be similar to any other [177]suckless program, one example
of a design choice it should take is the following: while mainstream games
are built around the idea of having a precompiled engine that runs
[178]scripts written in some interpreted language, a LRS/suckless game
wouldn't use run-time scripts but would rather have such "scripts" written
as a part of the whole game's source code (e.g. in a file scripts.h), in
the same language as the engine (typically [179]C) and they would be
compiled into the binary program. This is the same principle by which
suckless programs such as [180]dwm don't use config files but rather have
the configuration be part of the source code (in a file config.h). Doing
this in a suckless program doesn't really have any disadvantages as such
program is extremely easy and fast to recompile, and it brings in many
advantages such as only using a single language, reducing complexity by
not needing any interpreter, not having to open and read script files from
the file system and also being faster.
Compared to mainstream games, a LRS game shouldn't be a consumerist
product, it should be a tool to help people entertain themselves and
relieve their stress. From the user perspective, the game should be
focused on the fun and relaxation aspect rather than impressive visuals
(i.e. photorealism etc.), i.e. it will likely utilize simple graphics and
audio. Another aspect of an LRS game is that the technological part is
just as important as how the game behaves on the outside (unlike
mainstream games that have ugly, badly designed internals and mostly focus
on rapid development and impressing the consumer with visuals).
The paradigm of LRS gamedev differs from the mainstream gamedev just as
the [181]Unix philosophy differs from the [182]Window philosophy. While a
mainstream game is a monolithic piece of software, designed to allow at
best some simple, controlled and limited user modifications, a LRS game is
designed with [183]forking, wild [184]hacking, unpredictable abuse and
code reuse in mind.
Let's take an example. A LRS game of a real-time 3D [185]RPG genre may for
example consist of several independent modules: the RPG library, the game
code, the content and the [186]frontend. Yes, a mainstream game will
consist of similar modules, however those modules will probably only exist
for the internal organization of work and better testing, they won't be
intended for real reuse or wild hacking. With the LRS RPG game it is
implicitly assumed that someone else may take the 3D game and make it into
a purely non-real-time [187]command line game just by replacing the
frontend, in which case the rest of the code shouldn't be burdened by
anything 3D-rendering related. The paradigm here should be similar to that
existing in the world of computer [188]chess where there exist separate
engines, graphical frontends, communication protocols, formats, software
for running engine tournaments, analyzing games etc. [189]Roguelikes and
the world of [190]quake engines show some of this modularity, though not
in such a degree we would like to see -- LRS game modules may be
completely separate projects and different processes communicating via
text interfaces through [191]pipes, just as basic Unix tools do. We have
to think about someone possibly taking our singleplayer RPG and make it
into an MMORPG. Someone may even take the game and use it as a research
tool for [192]machine learning or as a VFX tool for making movies, and the
game should be designed so as to make this as easy as possible -- the user
interface should be very simple to be replaced by an [193]API for
computers. The game should allow easy creation of [194]tool assisted
speedruns, to record demos, to allow [195]scripting (i.e. manipulation by
external programs, traditional in-game interpreted scripting may be
absent, as mentioned previously), modifying ingame variables, even
creating [196]cheats etc. And, importantly, the game content is a module
as well, i.e. the whole RPG world, its lore and storyline is something
that can be modified, forked, remixed, and the game creator should bear
this in mind (see also [197]free universe).
Of course, LRS games must NOT contain such shit as "[198]anti-cheating
technology", [199]DRM etc. For our stance on cheating, see the article
[200]about it.
Legal Matters
Thankfully gameplay mechanisms cannot (yet) be [201]copyrighted (however
some can sadly be [202]patented) so we can mostly happily [203]clone
proprietary games and so free them. However this must be done carefully as
there is a possibility of stepping on other mines, for example violating a
[204]trade dress (looking too similar visually) or a [205]trade mark (for
example you cannot use the word tetris as it's owned by some shitty
company) and also said patents (for example the concept of minigames on
loading screens used to be patented in the past).
Trademarks have been known to cause problems in the realm of libre games,
for example in the case of Nexuiz which had to rename to [206]Xonotic
after its original creator trademarked the name and started to make
trouble.
Advice on [207]cloning games: copy only the gameplay mechanics, otherwise
make it original and very different from the cloned game or else you're
threading the fine legal lines. See this as an opportunity to add
something new, something that's yours, and potentially to apply and
exploit [208]minimalism, i.e. if you're going to clone Doom, do not make a
game about shooting demons from hell that's called Gnoom -- just take the
gameplay and do something new, e.g. why not try to make it a mix of sci-fi
and fantasy with procedurally generated levels which will additionally
save you a lot of time on level design?
Nice And Notable Gaymes
Of [209]proprietary video games we should mention especially those that to
us have [210]clonning potential. [211]Doom (possibly also [212]Wolfenstein
3d) and other 90s shooters such as [213]Duke Nukem 3D, Shadow Warrior and
[214]Blood (the great 90s [215]boomer shooters) were excellent.
[216]Trackmania is a very interesting racing game like no other, based on
kind of [217]speedrunning, [218]easy to learn, hard to master, very
entertaining even solo. The Witness was a pretty rare case of a good newer
game, set on a strange island with puzzles the player learns purely by
observation. [219]The Elder Scrolls (mainly Morrowind, Obvlidion and
Skyrim) are very captivating [220]RPG games like no other, with extreme
emphasis on [221]freedom and lore; [222]Pokemon games on [223]GBC and
[224]GBA were similar in this while being actually pretty tiny games on
small old handhelds. [225]GTA games also offered a great open world
freedom and fun based on violence, sandbox world and great gangster-themed
story. Advance Wars was a great turn based strategy on [226]GBA (and
possibly one of the best games on that console), kind of glorified
[227]chess with amazing pixel art graphics. Warcraft III was possibly the
best real time strategy game with awesome aesthetics. Its successor,
[228]World of Warcraft, is probably the most notable [229]MMORPG with the
same lovely aesthetics and amazing feel that would be worth bringing over
to the free world (even if just in 2D or only [230]text). [231]Diablo (one
and two) were a bit similar to WoW but limited to singleplayer and a few
man multiplayer; there exists a nice libre Diablo clone called [232]Flare
now. Legend of Grimrock (one and two) is another rare case of actually
good new take on an old concept of [233]dungeon crawlers. Half Life games
are also notable especially for their atmosphere, storyline and lore.
[234]Postal 2 was an excellent game. [235]Minecraft was another greatly
influential game that spawned basically a new genre, though we have now
basically a perfect clone called [236]Minetest (but we still DO [237]need
a non-bloated clone). [238]Dwarf Fortress is also worth mentioning as the
"most complex simulation ever made" -- it would be nice to have a free
clone. TODO: more.
[239]Gamebooks -- books that require the reader to participate in the
story and make choices executed by jumping to different pages based on
given choice -- are worthy of mention as an interesting combination of a
[240]book and a game, something similar to computer adventure games -- in
gamebooks lies a great potential for creating nice LRS games.
As for the [241]free (as in freedom) libre games, let the following be a
sum up of some nice games that are somewhat close to [242]LRS, at least by
some considerations.
Computer games: [243]Anarch and [244]microTD are examples of games trying
to closely follow the [245]less retarded principles while still being what
we would normally call a computer game. [246]SAF is a less retarded game
library/fantasy console which comes with some less retarded games such as
[247]microTD. If you want something closer to the mainstream while caring
about freedom, you probably want to check out libre games (but keep in
mind they are typically not so LRS and do suck in many ways). Some of the
highest quality among them are [248]Xonotic, 0 A.D., [249]openarena,
[250]Freedoom, Neverball, SupertuxKart, [251]Minetest, The Battle for
Wesnoth, Blackvoxel, [252]Lix etcetc. -- these are usually quite
[253]bloated though.
As for non-computer games: these are usually closer to LRS than any
computer game. Many old board games are awesome, including [254]chess,
[255]go, [256]shogi, [257]xiangqi, [258]backgammon, [259]checkers etc.
[260]Gamebooks can be very LRS -- they can be implemented both as computer
games and non-computer physical books, and can further be well combined
with creating a [261]free universe. Some card games also, TODO: which
ones? :) Some games traditionally played on computers, such as
[262]sokoban, can also be played without a computer. Pen and pencil games
that are amazing include [263]racetrack, pen and pencil football etc. Nice
real life physics games include [264]football, [265]marble racing etc.
