Open-source games are not all listed on one single web-site. But most of these web-sites probably use English, so searching for open-source games probably naturally trains English skills. Most of these games probably also use English, for both the source code, instructions about how to compile and play, and also inside the game, which will probably also train English skills. Messages on forums about these games, and bugs-issues/pull-requests, also use English most of the times.
There is a famous web-browser game that is called "z-type" (search "z-type" in a search engine), where words of natural language are the central element of the game, because it is a "typing-game" with the shape of a shmup-game. It is not open-source, but there are at least 2 open-source equivalents that exist. With these open-source equivalents, the language used can be switched easily, to use Spanish for example.
— "Any thoughts on how open-source games might offer unique language learning opportunities?"
Yes, a game could be specifically designed to learn another foreign language.
For example, mixing the "z-type" concept, with the concept of the game called "excellent-bifurcation" (where the game area is split in 2), for example on the left the player could type English-words, and after each word, the equivalent vocabulary in another language on the right area.
There are plenty of very nice games on the micro-studio website, several reuse graphics from oga, I like "marble-quest", "hexoban", "rpixelg-skybound" and "prox", i didn't understand how to play prox at the beginning, you have to "cut" squares" from the sides, i have been able to go until 5 balls.

I want to appology again, because in the initial version of the vim-tutorial,
I forgot the :w :g commands, at the end.
This is fixed now.
Sorry for the inconveniences.
can't find wander anymore,
i have to install mtn ?
I'm also trying to learn English abbreviations.
I never learned it before.
Maybe I should elaborate a little bit more.
Sorry, I should have posted in the tutorial forum.
I see that someone fixed this issue, thanks.
where is the .src ?
- Is it possible to have an offline copy ?
maybe a partial snapshot

This would be so nice if you make it with this graphics-kit:
https://opengameart.org/content/monochrome-pirates
Would you need some expensions for what you plan ?
Or a colorful version of what is already in this kit ?
Which programming-language are you planning to use ?
Hello again,
There are plenty of very nice games on the micro-studio website, several reuse graphics from oga, I like "marble-quest", "hexoban", "rpixelg-skybound" and "prox", i didn't understand how to play prox at the beginning, you have to "cut" squares" from the sides, i have been able to go until 5 balls.

Thanks for all the authors !
Sorry, I forgot to say that this is the file "js/game.js" that you have to edit, if you want to add more waves.
And if you want to slow down the rythm of the game a little bit, you can try to edit the file "js/app.js", and change the line 244:
game.update(dt * 0.70);
The variable "dt" seems to be compatible with a float, so that you can try values like 0.60, 0.70 or 0.80
The license of this game is: "MIT"
