Is an open source game one that can be worked on by any programmer who acquires it? If so, what can they do with it once it is to their liking? --- In God we trust! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Thomas Ward" <[email protected]> To: "Gamers Discussion list" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, October 28, 2009 4:33 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] 80's games suggestion
Hi Dark, I may have the source code for Montezuma's Revenge around here, but I can't tell you what version of the source I have. I can say that beta 9 was full of miner bugs, and obviously I wouldn't be updating the game to fix those bugs. So even if I rereleased that game it would be with the understanding that it is a test release and not a stable version. Personally, I think a better suggestion is to create an all new open source project that is like Montezuma's Revenge but with a different name. That way I could put it on my developers center as an open source example of a simple accessible game while at the same time satisfying those who want a completely classic side-scroller. dark wrote: > Hi Tom. > > > Here's a rather crazy idea to salve the feelings of those who are > desperate for an 80's game. > > Go back to the last stable version of montizuma's return, ---- say beta > 9, ---- I stil have this on my harddrive, ---- which is possibly illegal, > but deleting good games is against my principles. > > The game already has 6, highly playable 80's side scroller levels. > > Re-reccord the name of the game to something generic, ---- Temple > adventures, treasure quest, --- Montizuma's avengence, do a quick search > and replace on the instructions to change the name of panama Jo to > something else, ---- peruvian Jim? > > Then offer it as an extra freeby to those who buy Mota. > > They then get all of Mota, ---- which I hope will continue as a modern > side scroller, pluss 6 levels of pure classic 80's! > > Just a suggestion. > > all the best, > > Dark. > --- Gamers mailing list __ [email protected] If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to [email protected].
