= THIS TEAM IS NOT ACTIVE ANYMORE =

There is currently no active MOTU Games team anymore. All of the former members now contribute directly in the Debian Games Team. Please see the following Page for more information:

http://wiki.debian.org/Games/Development


There are still many many wiki pages describing Games. Please help us to merge them in the debian wiki. If you have merged a page there please delete it from the ubuntu wiki.

If you would like to help with anything game related but it is Ubuntu specific, [[https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games]] could be a good starting place to help out.

== Notes ==
 * Users like games.  It may be a considerably good idea to try setting up a real games team and moving some games into Main. -- JohnMoser
 * Installing Armagetron, Quake 2, GLtron, Frozen Bubble, and Battle for Wesnoth shows a few packages not in main.  These packages have to be considered when considering games even in Universe, as if they break MOTU has to fix them.  These are mostly libsdl1.2; perhaps SDL should be considered for Main, because it's a cross-platform graphics, sound, and network library, like Microsoft DirectX but not Windows only.  Packages are as follows:
  * libsdl-console
  * libsdl-gfx1.2-4
  * libsdl-net1.2
  * libsdl-perl
  * libsdl-sound1.2
  * libsvga
