Talk:List of game engine recreations

message: For instance, SCSharp site is down for very long.
:Perhaps some categorization could be used. rewiki has a number of categories, but the problem is when is a project dead? One month of no activity? One year? Two? Mikkel 12:17, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Periods of inactivity, unless long periods like a year or more, are a silly way to measure whether a project is to be included or not, I'd think; what about a project which has no recent (public) development activity but still has active users or non-public development? It might be nice to try and mention whether a project actually works (to some extent, at least) or not, though. --Fuzzie (talk) 13:14, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Perhaps limiting the categories to completable, playable, and implementing/early, and noting on a project if one notices that it has been dead for over a year, or the team has said it is dead. Mikkel 00:03, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Another thought occured to me. Would it be preferable to list by what game is implemented or the name of the engine? I should think that the former makes the most sense, as the engine names are usually only comprehensible to those knowing them. Also, one looking through the list would probably be looking for a specific game to see if there is an engine for it. If there are no objections, I'll have a go at restructuring this list at some point in the near future. Mikkel 13:11, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Recreation or re-creation?

message: I removed probably 98% of the content of this article because it failed WP:NOT policy in a major way. We DO NOT put external links in article bodies, which is all the content was there to do. Wikipedia is not a web directory, or a collection of links, or a resource for accessing game ports, or a place to dump mere trivia. If someone wants to create an actual encyclopedia article about the topic they are free to do so. Note that under no circumstances will external links in the body be allowed.

replies: text: Can't they all instead be under a new topic called List of game engine recreations? Because there exists articles of List of commercial video games released as freeware, List of freeware first-person shooters, List of free multiplayer online games, List of free multiplayer online games and List of open-source video games.

replies: text: I support the idea of an export to a list. While reduction was needed, the deletion was to aggressive, several notable engines WITH even own articles were deleted too. Shaddim (talk) 21:43, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Article was a mass of policy violations 

message: I am wondering if anyone else finds it strange or inappropriate that the article starter practically invented this term, as it is not used anywhere else, as far as I am aware of.
Also, I did not mean source ports when I added the ScummVM situation, although that one applies as well. Being such a diverse project, both reverse-engineered engines and source ports are present but also a third kind, where only a few developers working on that particular engine got access to the original engine source code under a non-disclosure agreement but were not allowed to incorporate that code; thus neither reverse-engineered, nor a source port. -- Lightkey (talk) 18:12, 5 April 2015 (UTC)
