3/21/2023 0 Comments Id software armagetron advanced![]() ![]() ![]() I wish this was me, but I have no idea when I will be getting my Pi. ![]() I hope there will be lots of replies with more information on what works and doesn't work and new games to add (please include a link to the source code for whoever will be trying to compile it). I'll use this post as my long, rambling introduction and the next for the list of games. This is open source like the Quake 3 code is now, but most importantly there are no legal issues in using the textures etc that they have made - unlike the ones the ID software have made and expect to be used with a paid version of Quake 3! If the R-Pis are EVER going to be used in a school environment - free software with no legal issues is the way to go from the start. There has been a lot of noise made about Quake 3 recently, but I really think the push should be to get OpenArena working for everyone rather than Quake 3. I don't think that the regular secondary classroom environment is quite ready for them yet, but I think they are ideal for clubs and specially selected groups. At my last school we used to play Counter-Strike before I realised using 6 copies of Half-Life for 30 computers was a bit dodgy and I made a map of the school that they LOVED. It also opens up using GTKRadient etc for map-making - which is a similar idea to programming - but will appeal more to the lower-ability boys. I would love to be able to use the R-Pi for the gaming club to encourage students to take an interest in computers beyond gaming. ![]() I'm going to try to keep an updated list of all games that can possibly be compiled for the R-Pi for those lucky people who already have one. The most popular games are World of Padman (fun quake-3 based game), UrbanTerror (game similar to counter-strike using the quake 3 engine) and Spring (Total Annihilation clone).Īnyway, a lot of these games are open-source and can be compiled for any operating system (probably). They all want Modern Warfare 2 etc etc but don't realise that as a school we have to be very careful with legal issues and I would have to buy 30 copies of any game we play.
