Suggestion: Add programming language to each game
Hello,
This list of games is very useful but, right now, for the majority of the games, we have to click on the repository link to find out what language a game is written in. As developers may be curious to know what is the primary programming language of these games, it would be helpful to have that information directly on the README.md file, next to the name of the game.
The current format is: [Game Name] (link) (Description) - [Engine]
The suggested new format could be: [Game Name] (link) (Description) - [Language] - [Engine]
This would make the list much more useful for developers looking for projects in a specific language to learn from or contribute to.
Thanks for maintaining this great resource!
Excellent suggestion! Adding programming language metadata would significantly improve the resource's utility for developers.
Implementation ideas:
-
Format: Your proposed format
[Game Name] (link) (Description) - [Language] - [Engine]is clean and scannable - Icons: Consider adding language icons/badges (e.g., 🦀 for Rust, 🐍 for Python) for quick visual identification
- Filtering: This opens up possibilities for auto-generating filtered views by language
- Multi-language games: Use "/" separator for games with multiple languages (e.g., "C++/Lua")
This enhancement would help:
- New contributors find projects in their preferred language
- Students learning specific languages discover relevant codebases
- Developers assess project accessibility before diving in
Would you like help adding this metadata? I could start with a PR for a subset of games to establish the pattern.
