So in the terms of a computer game then would it be acceptable at the
start
to say that parts of this game are Open Gaming Content. Everything that is
open gaming content and that can be freely reused in accordance with the
Open Gaming Licence is in the C:\MyGameName\OGC directory.
Thus clearly identifying what is OGC? You could even say everything
outside
the OGC directory is NOT OGC.
Would that be acceptable? That is assuming the people who play the game
can access the directory, if not, for example if its on a server somewhere
then
another method would be needed.
How about saying all OGC that is used in this game can be downloaded from
www.mygamename.com/ogc/download.zip thus absolutly distunguishing what is
OGC?
Would that be acceptable? Since I find it a little bit of a pain to have
to use a
different font/colour. Well pain is not the correct word, I physically
cannot do
so as I will have no control of the output of the data to the screen. Aside
from
printing [startogc] ......... [endogc] which would ruin the atmosphere of
the game
I cannot see anyther way of doing so..
Any ideas? or opinions on the above?
I could see the first idea working more than the www.mygamename.com one
but
then that may be possible too.
