Reorganisation plans for games grimoire

1.

All games need to be rechecked.
For games that are hard to define into what category it would go
the spell will be put into an unknown section and the user consensus
will be asked so that the users decide about such spells.


2. Classification

The following sections will be available:
adventure (You walk around, pickup stuff, talk to ppl, solve puzzles)
arcade (You jump around on platforms, sidescrolling, top-down scrolling, most
other 2d games, yes e$
puzzle (You try to solve puzzles to continue)
racing (Driving, crashing, etc...)
role-playing (rogue, rogue-like, MUDs, MMORPGs, RPGs, etc...)
simulation (Flight, train, whatever is supposedly trying to immitate realism)
sports (basketball, football, etc...)
strategy (turn-based, real-time, micro-managing, macro-managing, and others)
shooters (you walk around and you shoot stuff, or you drive around and shoot
stuff, etc...)
utils-games (stuff like server browsers and such)
servers (servers for multiplayer games)
libs-games (any relevant libraries that are not in the main grimoire and are
used almost exclusivly$
z-rejected-games (games with non-free licenses, non-source versions and such)
engines-games (game engines)
desk-games (cards, board games)
terminal (some terminal toys like fortune and such)
unknown (anything until it's classified)


3.

There will be a "SECTION" file in each section detailing this info
so that ppl can decide when adding games that don't have a recommended section
If there is a recommended section then check the game and decide on
the above criteriums if it belongs to it or not and act accordingly.
If a decision can't be made either play it or put it into the
unknown section and ask someone else to classify it or simply ask
on SM-discuss or on irc.

I hope I got everything down proper... comments and suggestions welcome(and
encouraged)
Flames should be directed to /dev/null

And a HAPPY NEW YEAR 2005 from (I hope) the whole Sourcemage crew and me.
