The Best Looking Open-Source Game?

[Qaridarium]

Hell, I'd pitch in 20 bucks for that. 0AD needs more love.

yes right! we just need 0AD and Spring engine in the phoronix test suite !

its so bored to get First person shooter benchmarks all the time.

I thought you were looking for games, not completed demos. Try asking http://www.thedarkmod.com/main/ or http://sourceforge.net/projects/stuntrally/ if they would add a demo.

Yes, and 0AD needs more publicity. It's a promising project.

Demoquit has been committed.

What about, instead, adding an FPS counter to mesa, that gives the time elapsed and prints the total frames painted? There is already LIBGL_SHOW_FPS=1, it should be easy to add that. Then you could benchmark every game that can use a reproducible demo and quit automatically (obliously only under mesa). See the current implementation: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/mes...ri2_glx.c#n670

The problem that it's Mesa-only.... I like anything (as do most of the customers) in PTS to be near-universal. Though anyone else is free to create their own Mesa-powered test profiles and upload them to their own account on OpenBenchmarking.org to share them with the community, just as the Wine guys do, etc.

@michael please start a kickstarter project for supporting 0AD and Spring
yes please.
I’m sure you get 1000 dollar for spring and 1000 dollar for 0AD.
after that you do have more REAL games for your benchmark articles.

just do it!

That's in the domain of the devs of those games.

who cares in a opensource world ?

Agreed. Michael does not want to step on the toes of the developers. Its best for the developers to solicit donations for their respective games.
