Games to investigate
- [Add some here that you don't find in either of the two below lists]
- Tcl/Tk Games may have some items that have not yet been explored.
Games to add
- Please format the text in this section to match the format of a valid Tcl list described later in this page (name, description, url, category). The name will correspond to a filename/directory name, so I recommend against using spaces.
- [Properly formatted list describing already investigated games]
Rejected games
Binary dependencies
- Babbleback machine - Snack - thoroughly depends on Snack
- Asteroids - Snack - should be fairly easy to make this dependency conditional
- TurnOut {description here} http://wfr.tcl.tk/916 {category here} - Depends on Img - should be fairly easy to make this dependency conditional on Img being available.
Not a game - This is somewhat arbitrary as some "games" that are included aren't games either
