Opentyrian? Looks good.

It even has the Destruct minigame! I wish it could be played in higher resolution though, I hate fullscreen.

Yeah that would be nice.

Just to let everyone know I added OpenTyrian to AUR if anyone's interested in having a play.

I guess it's only a matter of time until they have some (super)eagle/2xSAI/hq{2x|3x}-style scaling filters...

for now I play it on my PSP.

Since this post has been bumped I thought I'd let you know that scaling filters have been added to opentyrian.

Re: Top open source game?

1 ) Teeworlds, without one of the best games ever made. Liero + Soldat in a cute package, try it already! pacman -S teeworlds
2 ) OpenTTD if it counts, I had to uninstall it because I spent too much time on it
3 ) Open for suggestions, don't like any of the FPS so far, Padman came close though.

Those are the best linux games: http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Linux#Gaming

Read the discussion on that page, hilarious.

Re: Top open source game?

It seems that almost every free or open source game is an FPS. That always perplexed me!

Whoops, I could've swore it was. D:

Licence Stuff

    Urban Terror is a mod for Quake 3 Arena. Urban Terror can be freely distributed over the internet, unmodified, without charging for the product. Urban Terror uses the Quake 3 SDK license. This means the game code (the .qvm's in zpak000.pk3) are closed source and can only be distributed electronically over the internet, not on cd or dvd. The non-code data files of Urban Terror (zpak000-assets.pk3) can go on any medium however. The full license texts come with the installer, they outweigh the information provided here.

    Urban Terror does not use any Quake 3 data, only its engine (on windows: quake3.exe) to run on. It therefor can also run on other executables created from the GPL'ed Quake 3 code. ioUrbanTerror.exe is such an executable and is distributed together with Urban Terror, but is a seperate product. Quake 3 can still be used to run Urban Terror on if the end-user prefers it. ioUrbanTerror uses the GPL license and its source code is openly available. ioUrbanTerror does not depend on Urban Terror, it can be used to run any Quake 3 mod or even baseq3, by setting the appropriate fs_game. When running Urban Terror on ioUrbanTerror, Urban Terror's close sourced .qvm's (quake virtual machine) are interprated by the open source engine (ioUrbanTerror).
