Teeworlds VS crawl

It's a modied bsd license from what I see. https://github.com/teeworlds/teeworlds/blob/master/license.txt

The problem is that some games start without issues and stay alive and others exit with exit code 1 immediately. For example, Teeworlds 0.7.5 ( teeworlds.com ) works just fine but Battle for Wesnoth 1.16.6 ( wesnoth.itch.io/battle-for-wesnoth ) doesn't.

I've played both and am especially a big fan of Celeste. The shooting is similar to Teeworlds, I got the idea from that.

> A retro multiplayer shooter

> Teeworlds is a free online multiplayer game, available for all major operating systems. Battle with up to 16 players in a variety of game modes, including Team Deathmatch and Capture The Flag. You can even design your own maps!

Richard Stallman has a policy of putting his non-engineering works under a non-libre license (CC-BY-ND 3.0) [0] [1], so maybe he wouldn't have a problem with this non-libre game as the underlying code is libre, just not the assets.

In my opinion, this is one of the problems with Stallman's "moral authority" approach to the FSF. I would very much like to hear about these cases where a game's source is libre licensed but not it's content and see what Stallman actually has to say about it.

Not for nothing, but there are many network/online games that have both source and content libre licensed. Here are a few:

* Teeworlds - https://www.teeworlds.com/

* Minetest - https://www.minetest.net/

* Battle for Wesnoth - https://github.com/wesnoth/wesnoth

I'm sure there are many others of note but those are just the few that I have at least some passing familiarity with.

The patch is completely bogus:

https://github.com/teeworlds/teeworlds/commit/4d529dcd2d0102...

Here it tries to avoid overflow by assigning the result of 32 bit arithmetic to a 64 bit type. That's a common mistake.

Teeworlds?

Maybe soldat or teeworlds?

Teeworlds is an absolute blast of a LAN party game. Fist Full of Frags is fun... Armagetron Advanced is a weird change of pace. (Tron lightcycles) Xonotic is a more modernized Unreal Tournament type experience.

It's probably not as rigorous as what you're thinking of but the devs of DCSS have cited online win rates of certain combinations as the impetus for balance changes before.

In a similar vein, see Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup, a free and open-source roguelike that's been continuously developed by volunteers for 20 years: http://crawl.develz.org/

They are entirely too humanoid. I mean, look at these splash screens: Kiku, Ignis, Chei. While those images shouldn't be taken as canonical, they at least demonstrate the general inhumanity of the Crawl pantheon.

Since you like turn-based games too, try some old-school roguelikes. Many are open-source freeware so you have nothing to lose but time. I've been playing Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup for almost 10 years.

Since Brogue's already been mentioned, I'd add Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup and Tales of Maj Eyal as pretty beginner friendly games.

For people who don't follow trunk, Okawru's gifting has been changed (and arguably* nerfed):

My personal first timer recommendation? Maybe Nethack or Dungeon crawl?

Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup - Free traditional roguelike with fair mechanics and a lot of variety between species/skill/god choices (~25 gods and maybe with the exception of sif/veh and oka/trog, they are very distinct). The tiles are great. There's many developers and they are very welcoming of code or vault contributions. Reducing incentives to play tediously is one of the goals. Easily hundreds of hours of gameplay for free. Playable online (connecting to a server through your browser/terminal) or offline (terminal or tiles version). There have been win streaks of 50+ games with a variety of species/background combos so you know it's mostly fair(it IS possible for rng to give you an unwinnable game), but it's very difficult if your goal is to win every game.
