esports-for-engineers

There's a python script that makes the organization more clear. Once you've installed the games package, run "./launcher.py" at the ubuntu command line to see a text menu "Top Level Menu" which launches the games. This menu is shown on page 2 of the brochure here: https://github.com/sim-museum/esports-for-engineers/blob/mas...

It seems the initial benefit of this package to engineers is figuring out how to make it work. You have the carrot of free games in there, go get em! After reading some of the other documents there, this would probably be a better description of what this package is about: https://github.com/sim-museum/esports-for-engineers/blob/mas... I also found these ones helpful in understanding what is going on here: basicWalkthrough.pdf, runThisScriptFirst.sh, and metaLearning.txt I didn't try it yet, I would need some disk space first. But fascinating ideas to play with!

racing sims and MS flight simulator are non-violent, but lack story. Some classic games in these categories have detailed historical settings and a lot of complexity, allowing you to create your own adventure in an open world. The adventure is different every time you play. Some classic sims of this type are here: https://github.com/sim-museum/esports-for-engineers

Nobody's mentioning old commercial games that were later released by their publishers as open source. One example is the classic combat flight sim "Rowan's Battle of Britain", initially released in the year 2000. You can find it packaged to run under linux/wine, along with other free games, here: https://github.com/sim-museum/esports-for-engineers the source code is here: https://github.com/gondur/BOB_Src

Classic racing and flight sims such as Grand Prix Legends, Mig Alley/Battle of Britain and Falcon 4 are available for linux here: https://github.com/sim-museum/esports-for-engineers (this is free, and does not use steam)

Excellent open source ML sparing partners for Chess and Go are available: https://github.com/bencaddigan/esports-for-engineers But what about Contract Bridge? Is there an open source program that will play the other three hands? A machine learning program would be ideal, but any decent open source program would be fine.

To learn auto racing or acrobatic flying, there's the esports for engineers package of classic PC simulation games: https://github.com/bencaddigan/esports-for-engineers

I'm reading "Combat Fighter Tactics and Maneuvering" by Shaw, along with the combat aviation and auto racing manuals at https://github.com/bencaddigan/esports-for-engineers

The source code for Mig Alley is here: https://github.com/gondur/mig_src The source code for Free Falcon is here: https://github.com/FreeFalcon The link to the tar file containing windows binaries that run under linux/wine is in the Readme.md file of the repository linked to by the hacker news submit here: https://github.com/bencaddigan/esports-for-engineers
