I'd like to ask for recommendations for FLOSS (Free/Libre, Open-Source Software) games, playable on Linux or Android. I saw an old thread on this topic, but it's over a year old, so I thought it'd be okay to ask this year. Genre-wise, I'm pretty open. RPG, adventure, FPS, RTS, TBS, 4x, puzzle, sidescroller, platformer, single-player, multi-player, online, offline... whatever. I would prefer not needing to have original (commercial) game assets.
Fine print: I do like a good FPS, but, having played commercial titles on PS3 and PS4, I've found that the FLOSS FPSes I've tried just don't hold a candle to them. Also, I prefer having a short TTK (think: hardcore mode, R6S, BFV), and every FLOSS FPS I've tried has had a long TTK.
I've already played:
Linux:
- Wesnoth
- 0 A.D.
- roguelikes (currently have an active character in Angband)
- Ur Quan Masters
- Minetest
- bzflag (long ago)
Android:
- SuperTuxKart
- Pixel Dungeon
- Andor's Trail
- Mindustry
- Pixel Wheels
- Vector Pinball
- Minetest
- Wesnoth
- HyperRogue
What I haven't played, but might check out:
- FreeOrion
- Endless Sky
- Glest, MegaGlest
- Warzone 2100
- Zero-K
- KeeperRL
- OpenRCT2
- Oolite

Alternatively, visit the repo.
password
has been updated to v1.1:- the game now starts after you press
[Space]
- you gain points for victories (score is not saved between reloads)
- UI is a little nicer
v1.2 planned features:
- adjustable difficulty, via either or both of password length and time per round
- zen mode: longer rounds, no score tracking, calmer UI
- persistent personal high score you can compete against
I almost feel like this is not worth an update, but people have been curious and supportive of the game.
You can see all planned features in the issues section. Suggestions on gameplay and visuals are welcome.
EDIT: updated hosted version to not reset score on loss (only resets when you start over).

What's a good name for my open source, tactical WW2 FPS?

I’m going to be making an fully libre, tactical, co-op, WW2 FPS in the ioquake3 engine. I need an idea for a name. Anyone have ideas?
It's going to be kind of like Day of Infamy, if you've ever played it. You're going to be working through the enemy's base (Axis or Allies, depending on which side you choose) with your friends, trying to complete an objective. You can either be stealthy, go guns blazing, or anywhere in between. There's also going to be TDM, where you either attack or defend against another team of players. I'm hoping to increase longevity by making it completely open source.

A simple web game I made to combat depression.
To play, go here. Warning: the game starts as soon as you enter the page.
To view source, visit the GitHub repo.
How to play:
-
Press the keys you see before yourself. The key turns green if it's been "solved".
-
Once all keys are "solved", you start a new round automatically.
-
If the timer runs out before all keys are "solved", the game is over. Press
[Space]
to start over. -
There's no score. Play whenever and for as long as you like. Quit whenever you've had enough.

Over the last week, a number of updates have been made by people other than me contributing code to Tildes through its open-source repository. I wanted to make a post to highlight some of these changes and let everyone know about them, since there are some great updates and fixes in here:
@deing made it possible to create links that will pre-fill the subject and message for private messages. For example: https://tildes.net/user/Deimos/new_message?subject=Test+Message&message=Please+don't+actually+send+this+to+me
@blitz saw me make an offhand comment about a rare bug when someone submits a link to an IP address, and got a development environment set up and fixed it right away.
@Bauke has been on a tear, fixing a lot of long-outstanding issues and adding features. So far:
- Added a way for users to view their two-factor authentication backup codes (previously you could only see them at the time you activated 2FA).
- Added "View Markdown" for comments and text topics. This is inside a new "More" dropdown menu, and will show you the markdown that the poster used, so that you can check how they did some formatting or copy-paste if you want to use someone else's post as a template of sorts.
- Added new settings (under "Site behavior settings" on the Settings page) to always open links to Tildes groups and users in new tabs.
- Fixed a few issues with inconsistent interface elements and styling.
There are multiple more merge requests still waiting for me to review, and I'll probably be making some other posts soon once some of those get merged in as well. Thanks, the contributions are greatly appreciated! If anyone else is interested in looking into contributing, the CONTRIBUTING file in the repo is probably the best place to start.
And as usual, I've topped everyone back up to 10 invites, accessible on the invite page.
