I need programming practice. What are some ongoing FOSS game projects that would be worth contributing to? Preferably ones that are at least moderately active, and excluding ones that are like 90% complete.

fork openRA and make it good tbh :^)

no, fork Spring RTS and fix the bugged path finder mechanic.

That sounds more like design work than programming work, tbh. Plus I never really cared for those early C&C games. More of an AoE2 and SupCom guy. I need something that needs programming work, not design work. If I hadn't been so busy with school OpenMW would have been perfect, but that's mostly complete now.

Now this I would be more interested in. I will take this into consideration.

Not many FOSS games are good

Try OpenMW or OpenTTD.

>openTTD

That's still an active project? What is even left to add? It seemed like a complete game to me when I played it years ago. Also I thought OpenMW was already mostly finished and fully playable?

Why don't you fork these dubs?

OP there is a god damn linux gaming thread up right now.

Be a lazy nigger elsewhere.

The Spring RTS engine (and it's related games) is definitely a good project on many levels. There are also opportunities there if you do game AI.

If you want to work with an end product then Zero-K (which runs on Spring RTS) is another option.

OpenMW is fully playable, but not fully finished, there's stuff that hasn't been worked on yet.

And who says that you have to contribute to those projects. Maybe you could start your own project by using that code as a baseline and adding your own shit.

Arx Libertatis or OpenMW come to mind.

Yeah, I don't have anywhere near enough motivation to do that, otherwise I'd already be doing it. This is my compromise to get myself off my lazy ass and actually doing something productive.
