It would be great if we had a nokia snake style game in this repo! :)

Cheers!

Hey,

I needed working sourceUrls so I started using an edited version of your JSON file.
There's still a bunch missing, but it's a start. Would you like to merge it back?

I recently made a comment on the Arduboy forums and it got me thinking.
It would be nice if the main page displayed how many games there are in the repo.

I noticed there's an unused banner.jpg which would serve this purpose. Basically as the video is loading, it would show the image behind the unloaded video instead of a gray background.

See here: https://www.w3schools.com/TAgs/att_video_poster.asp

Would it be possible to add "Access-Control-Allow-Origin:*" to the repo.json HTTP headers?

Without it, ProjectABE can't access the repo directly and depends on the cors-anywhere service, which isn't meant for production use.

For the hex files, I'm using https://gitcdn.xyz/, which should be OK.

When making an update to Minesweeper I looked on the main website to see where source.url is being used and it seems that it isn't being used?

All of 'download hex', 'play in emulator' and 'upload to my arduboy' use the hex uploaded to the repo.
The url provided in source.url doesn't appear to be used at all?

I noticed TEAM a.r.g.'s games aren't in the repo. They distribute their games in .arduboy format, which may be why, but they're just glorified ZIP files which contain the .hex within. I've started working on extracting the .hex's and adding them to this repo but wanted to make a note in case I don't get around to doing them all.

Several descriptions are using \n but these aren't getting parsed and translated into page breaks.

Rather than removing all the \n and replacing them with spaces, perhaps it would be possible to turn them into page breaks?

Otherwise, replacing them with spaces would make sense.

Hi, thanks for building this nice library!

I'd like to discover only FLOSS games, and it's unfortunate that many Arduboy games don't have a license. This essentially renders them proprietary, even though the source is available.

It would be much easier if I could see which games are FLOSS right on the front page and filter them by this.

I'd be willing to send a PR with the license added to each game if you want to do this.

So, I didn't realize this a few days ago when I started this process, but today I was reading about the GPL and came upon this fact:

I downloaded just the binary from the net. If I distribute copies, do I have to get the source and distribute that too?

Yes. The general rule is, if you distribute binaries, you must distribute the complete corresponding source code too. The exception for the case where you received a written offer for source code is quite limited.

https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#UnchangedJustBinary

This means that distributing the .hex files as we are may actually violate the terms of the GPL license itself. We have to distribute the source code in the repo for these games as well.

I'm not sure if linking to the source code on a different server is enough. Perhaps we should find this out.
