Dedicated RPi Games Site

Mon Dec 03, 2012 5:59 pm

Just wondering if people would be interested in a site dedicated to games for the Raspberry Pi? A site with a bunch games of games, developed by us, designed to work on the Pi (of course these games would work else where) What y'all think?

If you make it they will come. The MagPi issue 3 has a ton of games you can get by simply apt-get install I think well over 100. Many are unknown on how well they work as no one has documented this. This could be an easy way to get a ton of content on a site. Just by rating them this allows for you to also have time to develop and attract more visitors. Then going over the many games that are being made just for the Pi as well.

Please consider a own repository (or get in touch with
asb/plugwash) ! And most important :
Provide a easy method of creating debian packages !
But yes , this is a awesome idea !

• Don't like the board ? Missing features ? Change to the prosilver theme ! You can find it in your settings.
• Don't like to search the forum BEFORE posting 'cos it's useless ? Try googling : yoursearchtermshere site:raspberrypi.org

I think if you look around you would find RISCOS is also a working OS and even android is progressing so no Rpi is not really only Linux, Linux is the mainstream OS but not the only OS.

With so many Raspberrypi boards being sold even compared to other ARM based boards I think there will be many other ports of OSes to this critter.

Of course Android is arguably Linux and not Linux at the same time in that the general public only knows it as Android

Overall I think it is a worthy idea.
If you are more worried about ,spelling, punctuation or grammar you have probably already missed the point so please just move on.
