  Description     : ./play.it collection - Platform games

./play.it is a free software building native packages from installers
for Windows or Linux, mainly those sold by stores focusing on DRM-free
games distribution. The goal is that a game installed via ./play.it is
indistinguishable from a game installed via the official repositories
of your favourite distribution.

./play.it is already packaged in Debian,
cf. https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/play.it

This specific collection includes only platform games. These games focus
on navigating through levels, often requiring precise jumps. Some of
them may include puzzles, time constraints, or action-based combat.
Player dexterity is expected to play a big part.

This games collection is a recent upstream addition, that took over
the maintenance of platform games from the community-maintained games
collection (packaged as play.it-community in Debian). So with the next
update of play.it-community, support for many games would be lost.

Adding support for this games collection as play.it-platform before
updating play.it-community would ensure support for no game ends up
temporarily unavailable.

As both the upstream of ./play.it and maintainer of the current
Debian-provided packages, I plan to maintain this one under the Games
Team umbrella.
