31.223.6.184:

''Aleph One''' is a 2.5D [[:Category:first-person shooter engines|first-person shooter engine]] that is descended from the codebase of Bungie's ''Marathon 2''. This engine is licensed under the [[GPL]].<ref>[http://www.cebix.net/viewcvs/alephone/aleph/COPYING?view=markup COPYING page from CVS]</ref>

It uses OpenGL for rendering and supports network play. The Marathon Series has a relatively small yet loyal community which is hosted by Mariusnet.<ref>[http://www.mariusnet.com/ Mariusnet Home Page]</ref> It also used the [[Simple DirectMedia Layer|SDL]] library.

Downloads such as maps and physics modifications can be found at http://simplici7y.com

== What is LGW's stance on "free" ScummVM games? ==

I'm talking about Beneath a Steel Sky, Dreamweb, Flight of the Amazon Queen, Lure of the Temptress, Drascula: The Vampire Strikes Back and Soltys. Their licenses could be considered a bit problematic, since as far as I understand, they forbids selling the games individually, although it allows commercial distribution of the games the games together with something else (doesn't matter what). Debian Free Software Guidelines considers the licenses free as in freedom, although I don't think Free Software Foundation or Open Source Initiative does.
:This is my personal opinion. I took a look at Beneath a steel sky license. It seems harmless enough but the actual distributed files are 2 binary blobs so I doubt this satisfies freedom. Perhaps one could learn how to untangle the blobs by finding out what ScummVM does with them but that seems like a lot of work. ([http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#SILOFL Here's] one license that states that a font cannot be distributed alone but the FSF says this isn't a problem because it can be bundled with a hello world, so I think this clause seems analoguous to that.) [[User:GNUbie|GNUbie]] ([[User talk:GNUbie|talk]]) 18:00, 13 June 2013 (CEST)
::Agreed, perhaps I'll try to take a stab at it later. At least I think Debian has an untangled version of Drascula: http://packages.debian.org/sid/all/drascula/filelist Cire, [[Special:Contributions/90.225.93.214|90.225.93.214]] 21:31, 13 June 2013 (CEST)

== .kkrieger? ==

A 96kb FPS game, released in 2004, liberated in 2012.
C++/Assembler, 2-clause BSD.
Source to it and more: https://github.com/farbrausch/fr_public
What about adding this game?

: ''"werkkzeug3_kkrieger is from a branch called "kkrieger" in our SVN repository. It's not the actual kkrieger code, and incorporates changes that were done more than one year after the original kkrieger release. It was, however, branched off before we started not caring about breaking kkrieger compatibility when making changes. You have a better chance of building the game from there than you do from the "regular" werkkzeug3 tree - though both are unlikely to work. If someone really wants a close-to-original werkkzeug3 kkrieger tree, it should be possible to dig up something from 2004 :)"''. Let's talk about kkrieger when that is done and working source code is available. --[[User:Hendrik Brummermann|Hendrik Brummermann]] ([[User talk:Hendrik Brummermann|talk]]) 10:14, 24 January 2014 (CET)
