Gaming For Freedom
BackGoogle Tech Talks
June 6, 2008
ABSTRACT
Tim, Founder of the Thousand Parsec project, will explore the universe of Free and Open Source computer games, drawing on his personal experience as a case study for successfully building and contributing
to an Open Source game project. Many areas will be covered including many which are of interest to people who don't normally play games! Discover the variety and creativity of some existing FOSS games, learn
about how commercial games are using FOSS and finally, *how to start your own game project*.
Speaker: Tim Ansell
Tim Ansell has given talks about FOSS gaming at a number of conferences and organised the Gaming Miniconf at Linux.conf.au 2007 and 2008.
Tim is an avid FOSS game developer, founding the Thousand Parsec project 7 years ago in 2001. Originally getting involved in FOSS development via a game project called WorldForge, he now believes that games are a very important part of the FOSS ecosystem.

That's great but you can't use C# mono to make games because there's no Dx library, making your point about using C# to write cross platform games null and void.
anfenn (October 24, 2008 at 9:30 pm)
So can c++ and c. You don't need python for cross platform.

Gaming is important because it spikes creativity in minds young and old. It gets a lot of people interested in technology that would have otherwise done something a little less intellectual with their lives. To me you seem like the kind of person who does nothing but rally attention to a specific area. You probably do very little to change any of your listed problems in a significant way. Let those who are capable deal with the big problems. You can't solve them, so why does your opinion matter.

neither is oppression.
