Ask HN: Non-violent video games with great stories?
racing sims and MS flight simulator are non-violent, but lack story. Some classic games in these categories have detailed historical settings and a lot of complexity, allowing you to create your own adventure in an open world. The adventure is different every time you play. Some classic sims of this type are here: https://github.com/sim-museum/esports-for-engineers

Ask HN: Favourite Open Source Game?
Nobody's mentioning old commercial games that were later released by their publishers as open source. One example is the classic combat flight sim "Rowan's Battle of Britain", initially released in the year 2000. You can find it packaged to run under linux/wine, along with other free games, here:

Ask HN: Favourite Open Source Game?
Oh wow. Didn't expect anyone to remember. It was fun to program that one as the programming game for our local hacker conference and then seeing players compete. At some point later IIRC someone even wrote an somewhat advanced AI and created a small paper for it. The game should still be usable, but didn't get any love for a while now.
Fun anecdote: infon itself is a followup to my own teen programming project written in Quick Basic (see https://github.com/dividuum/infon/wiki/History) and all the Lua embedding and experience I gained from it ultimately ended up being used in a followup project (info-beamer) which is now at the core of my own company and my full-time job.
So write more games everyone!
