[vox] Games mentioned tonight

[Bill Broadley <MAPSbill@broadley.org>]

Figured I'd pass along some of the games mentioned tonight, especially
since many mentioned aren't particularly popular.

For those not there, there was some on topic discussion, but a fair
amount of open ended discussions of various linux games.

Did anyone that went to the meeting catch the space game that looked 2D,
had multiple ship types, and had a name approximately "AEVN"

Arcade:

   LiquidWar - http://www.gnu.org/software/liquidwar6/  Sadly I
            couldn't get liquid war 6 working on my 11.04 box with
            source or the .deb.  Somewhat of a RTS.  Basically
            particle physics to surround the enemy.
   Mars a ridiculous shooter - Basically a pink spacewar with gravity


Turn based strategy games -
   Crimson Fields - http://crimson.seul.org/download.php
   Battle for Wesnoth - Includes an ipad port of the GPL
                        http://www.wesnoth.org/

Physics based games -
   Rigs of rods - Drive simulated vehicles with soft body physics,
                  deformable models, weigh distribution, flight
                  characteristics based on wing shape, etc.

                   simulation, sophisticated tech tree, extensive
                   campaigns.
    Globulation2 - http://globulation2.org/wiki/Main_Page, mostly a
                   build up a city so you have enough resources to win
                   type game.  Kind of like majesty.
    Spring2 - http://springrts.com/  I've not played.
