Next month's Manchester Free Software talk will take place on Tuesday -
the 19th January.
Talk
------
Graphical computer games[1] are a part of software, even free software.
They are fun and are useful for making the free software user happier.
Michael will be demonstrating 100% free software graphical games on 100%
free software system. There are lots of free software graphical games.
Unfortunately, many are not in a suitable state of completion, are not
good games or require non-free video drivers. The talk will show top
quality free software graphical games that work well on free video drivers.
The style of game demonstrated will include fast paced FPS, racing,
graphically rich arcade, RTS, Point-and-click adventure.
The talk will include which graphics hardware works best in free
software, what features are missing and the settings required on games
to get them running at the required speed.
We welcome lightening talks from people demonstrating their favourite
100% free software graphical games on 100% free software system. Please
contact us at <address@hidden>.
Michael has been using GNU/Linux for many years, has played some
graphical computer games in that time and is currently Chairperson of
Manchester Free Software.
