[opensuse-gnome] Feedback needed: default preselection of games
Hi, Earlier in this cycle, I worked on https://features.opensuse.org/308477 The goal is to have a better preselection of games on the livecd. What's happening now on the livecd is that we have gbrainy and gnome-games-recommended installed. The latter contains: aisleriot, glchess, gnome-sudoku, gnomine, iagno, lightsoff, mahjongg, quadrapassel, swell-foop. (Which means those games from gnome-games are not installed by default: glines, gnect, gnibbles, gnobots2, gnotravex, gnotski, gtali) So far, I feel this is a good selection -- maybe we could remove one or two, but it's okay. I'm just wondering if you can think of any other game we should put there by default?

In my opinion, though the selection of games is good, a majority of these depend on performance of the graphics driver. I already feel that the clutter based gnome games here (swell-foop, quadrapassel, lightsoff) do not work well with ATI's drivers (known bug) and I could see poor performance even on the Intel 945G chipset with milestone 7. Similarly there is glchess which dos not work so well with several graphics drivers as well. Also, there are a lot of puzzle type games in this selection. Perhaps we could remove such a graphics card acceleration dependent game and add something "silly" like gtali?

Hrm, true. I must admit I'm a big fan of swell-foop, so it'd be hard for me to remove it ;-) But I guess that's an option.

glchess does not require 3D: there's a 2D version that should work well on all machines. And it actually starts in 2D by default, iirc. Is it really slow on some machines?

My issue with gtali is that it really doesn't look great. And I want to avoid putting such games by default on the cd.
