Swampy 0 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Would it be appropriate to suggest support for Raspberry Pi games, like a sub linux category? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicereddy 109 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Minecraft has a "Pi Edition" specifically built for the Raspberry Pi. I'm sure there are others as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy 0 Author Share Posted October 17, 2013 Actually, I've been trying out some games, like doom, quake and more Debian games, whether direct install or compiled from source. Also, here is a list I recently compiled of tested Debian games on Debian Wheezy arm7 Beaglebone Black: airstrike alienblaster amphetamine asc balder3d bomberclone boswars bzflag castle-combat cgoban crack-attack crimson doom eboard enigma fillets-ng freeciv-client-sdl freedroid gav gnugo grhino gtans gtkboard gweled heros icebreaker lincity micropolis netpanzer nInvaders njam openttd pacman pathological pengus powermanga realtimebattle rocksndiamonds solarwolf sopwith supertux toppler triplea uqm vectoroids wesnoth # battle of wormux xbubble xmahjongg xscorch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicereddy 109 Share Posted October 17, 2013 I think making "Open Source", "Free to Play", and "Raspberry Pi" categories could be a good idea. We can use those categories to create tables automagically, potentially? I think adding more categories in general would be a good idea. GOG.com games, Steam games, Desura games, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy 0 Author Share Posted October 17, 2013 Yes good suggestions; like a "source code available for compiling" category, flag or listing filter, and perhaps something that separates linux Steam games because they are excluded for now on RPi.

Nicereddy 109 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Any sort of template that would allow for easy categorization using SMW would be preferable for the Source code. Generally I'm just interested in automated listings of games, which can be easier to do with categories since it doesn't require the creation of a whole new template, however I can definitely see the benefit of SMW over categories. As for "Free" or "Free to Play" games we may want to list that in the Key points as a template? I'm not sure how to do that one, if we want to at all.

Garrett 212 Share Posted October 18, 2013 The current wiki policy is to only count officially supported platforms. Even the official Pi versions aren't necessarily the same as the normal computer versions (Minecraft: Pi Edition is a simplified version, not a port).

Newmansan 30 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Too much hassle, not very useful. I'd rather the Doom article not have 500 categories because it's been ported to everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pridit 39 Share Posted November 19, 2013 The general consensus seems to be no, and since there hasn't been any further discussion I'll consider this concluded. We won't be including Raspberry Pi support at this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
