Ask HN: Which Do you know any open source games?

4•Forgret•2h ago
I wanted to play games, but I was tired of constant programs with ads and trackers, so I'm looking for interesting open source games (genre doesn't matter), because I like looking at the code of such games.

So please tell me the games you know or maybe created yourself.

Battle for Wesnoth is fun, and there are many great add-ons available. I particularly recommend the SX, RPG, and similar maps, which give you a single strong unit each (single-player or multiplayer co-op) that advances and levels up, facing a huge horde.

Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup is great if you enjoy roguelikes. It's designed to avoid a lot of the manual tracking needed in other roguelikes; for instance, you can search for where you left an item, or hit one key to explore unvisited areas of the current floor until you see anything unusual.

Hedgewars is a clone of Worms, if you're familiar with that.

Shattered Pixel Dungeon is fun, and available on mobile devices.

Pioneer Space Sim, it offers unlimited space exploration in a huge procedural generated universe. It's like a mix of KSP and No Man's Sky.

0 A.D., it has a gameplay like AOE with a theme of the 0 A.D. periods.

Xonotic, a fast-paced online FPS game, but it looks like the server don't have much players recently.

The Dark Mod brings you an experience of being a thief and sneaking through the darkness. It has a lot of community-made maps.

If you'd like, I have an open source-game called Dungeon Maze (https://github.com/raihankr/dungeon-maze). It's a maze solving game with 2d pixel graphics. It was made with vanilla HTML, CSS, and JS. Utilizing the HTML canvas, I didn't use any game engine library in the development.
