Games on GitHub 
📦 Archive notice:
In 2012, this project started as a Hacker News thread collecting cool open source games. Back then, GitHub was more of a graveyard for games than a place where they thrived. Fast forward to today, and it’s a very different story: we now have a vibrant community of game developers building engines, crafting game jam entries, and sharing creative experiments with the world.
Over the years, this repo became one of the most-starred collections of open source games on GitHub, drawing contributions from more than 100 developers and surfacing thousands of projects. It has been humbling to watch a simple list evolve into a community resource and a snapshot of how open source gaming has grown.
I’m now officially archiving the repo. A huge thank you to everyone who submitted games, plugins, maps, hacks, and other treasures. You’ve helped make this something truly special <3
And let’s be honest: a single Markdown file was never the best database for hundreds of games. 😉
Cheers,
Lee 🍻
