Description : ./play.it game scripts collection - Strategy games
./play.it is a free software building native packages from installers
for Windows or Linux, mainly those sold by stores focusing on DRM-free
games distribution. The goal is that a game installed via ./play.it is
indistinguishable from a game installed via the official repositories
of your favourite distribution.
./play.it is already packaged in Debian,
cf. https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/play.it
This specific collection includes only strategy games. These games
rely on long-term planning. They often include military troops
management, but can be more peaceful with a focus on resource
gathering and logistics. Both turn-based and real-time games are
included.
This games collection is a recent upstream addition, that took over
the maintenance of strategy games from the community-maintained games
collection (packaged as play.it-community in Debian). So with the next
update of play.it-community, support for many games would be lost.
Adding support for this games collection as play.it-strategy before
updating play.it-community would ensure support for no game ends up
temporarily unavailable.
As both the upstream of ./play.it and maintainer of the current
Debian-provided packages, I plan to maintain this one under the Games
Team umbrella.
