Task: games-gl
Description: Debian Jr. 3D Games (hardware acceleration required)
 These games all use OpenGL libraries.  They will not work without
 decent 3D graphics cards providing hardware-accelerated OpenGL.
 .
 While armagetron and gltron are different interpretations of the
 game depicted in the classic 3D-animated movie "Tron", Tux Racer
 is an all-original made-for-Linux 3D racing game.  Unlike the
 standard blood-and-guts fare in the 3D games universe, all of
 these games are suitable for children.

Pkg-Description: standalone 3D Game Maker and 3D Game Design program
 Platinum Arts Sandbox is an open source easy to use standalone 3D Game
 Maker and 3D Game Design program currently being used in many schools
 throughout the world that allows kids and adults to create their own video
 games, worlds, levels, adventures and quests, even cooperatively! The goal
 is to make it accessible to kids but also powerful enough for full game
 projects. With a simple click and roll of a mouse wheel users can modify
 the world however they want. In the words of Margaret, a nine year old
 Sandbox whiz I babysit for, “Press Edit and go fulfill your dreams!”. Now
 features new game modes such as sidescroller, machinima, kartmode, RPG,
 and more!
