Debian Games Network Games
While XPilot has a broad international community of players (mostly
on high-bandwidth connections) it can be enjoyed on a home network
as well. XBlast, on the other hand, achieves networking using the X
protocol, so it is best suited to a local network.
The list to the right includes various software projects which are of some interest to the Debian Games Project. Currently, only a few of them are available as Debian packages. It is our goal, however, to include all software in Debian Games which can sensibly add to a high quality Debian Pure Blend.
For a better overview of the project's availability as a Debian package, each head row has a color code according to this scheme:
If you discover a project which looks like a good candidate for Debian Games
to you, or if you have prepared an unofficial Debian package, please do not hesitate to
send a description of that project to the Debian Games mailing list
