Fedora 10 Games Spin
Summary
To provide a Fedora Games Spin (live dvd) as part of the Fedora 10 release
Owner
- Name: RahulSundaram and Games SIG
Current status
- Targeted release: Fedora 10
- Initial kickstart file exists in git repo
- Test iso images are being produced and the game list is being adjusted due to size
- Percentage of completion: 10%
Detailed Description
Fedora 8 had a games spin, which unfortunately was not maintained for Fedora 9. Fedora 10 is an attempt to revive this spin.
Benefit to Fedora
It would be great to demonstrate to gamers that Fedora is a more viable platform for them. We also will be including edutainment applications for kids to learn.
Scope
We will include many games that are not installed by default in the desktop spin. Since the total set of games will not fit on a single DVD, we will try to include the more polished games available, including those that require 3D graphics support and network play.
Test Plan
Release alpha and beta releases in sync with Fedora 10
Test that the Applications->Games menu has the correct subcategories
Test that each game starts when run from the Application->Games menu
Test a sample of 3D games to ensure that they work on supported 3D hardware
Verify that sound (music, sound effects) work in a sample of games
Verify that network games work with the livedvd networking out of the box
Verify that automatic screen mode switching works for games in fullscreen mode
User Experience
A similar experience to the default desktop spin, except that the Applications->Games menu will be populated with a large number of games split into subcategories.
Dependencies
This spin depends on a working -desktop and/or -xfce spin.
There is not a lot of interdependency between the individual games, so the final list of games that will be included will likely continue to change as new games are added before F-10 is released
Contingency Plan
- Don't include a spin
Documentation
- We can provide a list of all of the games included in the spin, but will not include a description and documentation for each and every game. Some brief documentation of some games is being maintained at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Games
Release Notes
- Ditto as documentation
