Google Tech Talks June 6, 2008 ABSTRACT Tim, Founder of the Thousand Parsec project, will explore the universe of Free and Open Source computer games, drawing on his personal experience as a case study for successfully building and contributing to an Open Source game project. Many areas will be covered including many which are of interest to people who don't normally play games! Discover the variety and creativity of some existing FOSS games, learn about how commercial games are using FOSS and finally, *how to start your own game project*. Speaker: Tim Ansell Tim Ansell has given talks about FOSS gaming at a number of conferences and organised the Gaming Miniconf at Linux.conf.au 2007 and 2008.

That's great but you can't use C# mono to make games because there's no Dx library, making your point about using C# to write cross platform games null and void.
anfenn (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)
So can c++ and c. You don't need python for cross platform.

Gaming is important because it spikes creativity in minds young and old. It gets a lot of people interested in technology that would have otherwise done something a little less intellectual with their lives. To me you seem like the kind of person who does nothing but rally attention to a specific area. You probably do very little to change any of your listed problems in a significant way. Let those who are capable deal with the big problems. You can't solve them, so why does your opinion matter.

neither is oppression.
