I see Radakan isn't described yet as fun to play.....

I see Radakan isn't described yet as fun to play... presumably it's meant more as just a demonstration release than anything meant as a playable game.

I wouldn't fret too much over Ludum Dare. As a par...

I wouldn't fret too much over Ludum Dare. As a participant in past LD's, I can tell you that there isn't much one can do in 2 days that would make you want to copy the source directly. The submission guidelines state that you must include source, so if you are wondering how someone did something, you could always have a look and implement it yourself.

Still, it would be nice if more people released their code under FOSS licenses to increase awareness. Particularly since I have found that LD is in general unfriendly to Linux (few games will work with it) and perhaps by association unfriendly to FOSS (well, only two games got a FOSS license, right?).

The PyWeek rules, on the other hand, somewhat recommend using a FOSS license for your code submission, but it seems a lot of games get a FOSS license and a week long competition has more potential for continuing work. At least, my team has sworn every time that we would continue to extend our game and make FOSS releases. ;)

The latest PyWeek is about to end, by the way.

You forgot to mention MirthKit under gamemakers :-...
