Open Source City Building Games
Goal: Find a FOSS city building game to play with as a first project to help me learn to code.
The below table is from Wikipedia.
Lincity and Lincity-NG link to the same Wikipedia page. OpenCity also has a Wikipedia page. I will need to do a little more digging to find overviews of others on the list.
Given my social nature, I probably want to find a FOSS project to play with that has an active development community where I can hang out. That may not actually work out for me, but I should at least investigate that angle.
I also found a list on a different site: Libre Game Wiki
I've actually played and liked FreeCiv. It's a civilization building game, not a city building game. For my purposes, that might be a good option as a first project.
