Do you think my free and open source games are fun, all my games do allow add-on on mods (beehaw.org)

Hello my name is Daniel Hanrahan and I am wondering if my games here are fun and they do allow add-on mods. If you are wondering yes these games are the final product but that does not mean it won’t get updates because there is always a chance of that happening. Do you think these games follow both the modular and malleable philosophies for software or tools in general Sincerely, Daniel Hanrahan

I am not trying to be hostile, I just have those instructions and do not have a compiled version on repository because there are so many cpu and os combinations and you can't run a application compiled for arm run on x86 cpu or run a application compiled for Linux run on Windows, do you have better solutions to run software on anything while still keeping efficiency.

If you look at programs like VSCodium, they actually do have every possible category ready for download.

Thank you I will look into it.

I have looked into vscodium and it is not a compiler, it is a front end for compilers and for example: if I installed every single compiler for every single os and cpu combo, I would run out of storage.

If I installed all the tooling I needed to compile all the games I play, I imagine I'd run out of space first. I certainly would not be spending much time playing games. Respectfully.

I got linux x86 executables for all of those games except untitled_knight_game thought I would make sure to let you know

You would run out of space if you had all the tooling for every cpu architecture and os combination, you just need the tooling for your cpu architecture and os combination, sorry I didn't respond sooner I had a lot on my plate.

because there are so many cpu and os combinations and you can't run a application compiled for arm run on x86 cpu or run a application compiled for Linux run on Windows

It's better to do something than nothing. You don't need to provide all of those.

Just compile it for your own device and upload that. That alone will reduce the barrier of entry immensely.
