List of commercial video games with available source code. The source code of these commercially developed and distributed video games is available to the public or the games communities. MotivationeditCommercial video games are typically developed as proprietaryclosed sourcesoftware products, with the source code treated as a trade secret unlike open source video games. When there is no more expected revenue, these games enter the end of life as a product with no support or availability for the games users and community, becoming abandonware. DescriptioneditIn several of the cases listed here, the games developers released the source code expressly to prevent their work from becoming abandonware. Such source code is often released under varying free and non free, commercial and non commercial software licenses to the games communities or the public artwork and data are often released under a different license than the source code, as the copyright situation is different or more complicated. The source code may be pushed by the developers to public repositories e. Sourceforge or Git. Hub, or given to selected game community members, or sold with the game, or become available by other means. Starcraft Widescreen Patch' title='Starcraft Widescreen Patch' />The game may be written in an interpreted language such as BASIC or Python, and distributed as raw source code without being compiled early software was often distributed in text form, as in the book BASIC Computer Games. In some cases when a games source code is not available by other means, the games community reconstructs source code from compiled binary files through time demanding reverse engineering techniques. Source code availability in whatever form allows the games communities to study how the game works, make modifications, and provide technical support themselves when the official support has ended, e.

Can You Really Check a Single Can of Beer on a Flight The bizarre news of a man checking a single can of beer on his flight made the rounds recently, and that got me thinkingis that something anybody can do What are the exact rules when it comes to checking food and drink items First, I called and asked the TSA about checking loose food and beverages. They said they wouldnt have a problem with it under their current rules and regulations, but youd definitely have to check the item if it contained liquid. Also, the item may be subject to additional security screening. So, its technically possible to check a can of beer in that case, but the TSA also said its largely up to each individual airline. Thats where it gets interesting. I reached out to six major U. S. airlinesUnited, Delta, American Airlines, Southwest, Alaska, and Jet. Blueand asked what their rules about checking loose items was. Flying is a pretty cool experienceyoure sitting 3. Read more Read. Jet. Blue responded first, but merely pointed me to their baggage policies listed on their website. Turns out they have specific rules for everything. For example, you can check meat, fish, and seafood items as long as theyre in a leak proof container, packed with ice, and the contents are clearly marked. The item counts toward your checked baggage allowance. For produce, its a bit more complicated. You need to check with the state or governments entry and exit requirements before you do anything like the Department of U. S. Agriculture. Jet. Blue even has rules regarding the transportation of holy water in a jerry can, which is promising. If I can check a can of holy water, I should be able to check a can of beer. Finally, I came across their section on alcohol. It explains that alcohol cant be more than 7. Now, the crew probably wouldnt be too pleased to do it, but a can of beer definitely meets those requirements. Most beer hovers around 5 1. So, there you have it Case closed You can actually check a single can of beer, right Not so fast. Most fears boil down to a lack of understanding, and in those situations knowledge really is power. Read more Read. A representative from American Airlines gave me a big nope when I told them about the beer can story We would not accept an item as described in the story. We dont accept items that could cause injury to our team members andor damage another customers bag. Since knowingly accepting a single item like this will most likely break on the baggage belt, we would not accept it. It makes perfect sense. A single can of beer bouncing around a luggage bay is bound to hit someone, something, or burst open and spray beer all over everyones stuff. And yeah, it could easily fall into the nooks and crannies of a baggage belt doing serious damage. So whats a traveler to do if you want to bring a single, loose food or drink item home with you Brian Parrish, a representative for Southwest Airlines told me its best if items are contained in a bag or proper casing for protection. But you dont necessarily need a bag as long as you package it right. For the beer example, you would be best off using a leak proof bag of some sort, then placing that bag into a corrugated box filled with packing material that can prevent any breakage during transit. Once youve got the box all sealed up with tape, mark the contents clearly, and youll be ready to check it just be sure to check your airlines size and weight restrictions first. Parrish also noted that some airlines, including Southwest, offer liquor and wine packaging at their ticket counters. So for around 5 you could have someone pack your booze properly for you. Turbulence can range from annoying to downright frightening, and you dont have to be an anxiousRead more Read. In short, do not try to check a single can of beer on its own. The only reason it was possible in the original story was because the mans friend worked at the Australian airport where the event occurred. Checking loose food and drink items is possiblewithout a bag evenbut you have to prepare them properly. When in doubt, talk to your airline first and see how they can accommodate you.
