Does this mean that I will be able to play games on my washing
machine?

Nice.. Saw port for OpenBSD also.. Guess people from cross platform
can play this game

A short note on how you did this in the video, or the video
description, or on the reddit post about the video, might make it
useful to others.

Was this compiled from source, linux emulation, windows emulation
(such as wine), a new port of the game to NetBSD,...?

Hi; video was mot recorded by me, as channel owner's name suggests,
it's [Charlotte Koch](http://edgebsd.org/~cfkoch/)'s (cfkock@), former
EdgeBSD dev, and the one who started porting the game to NetBSD in
2018/09 (and now seems to have fixed it,  still no new revision
upstreamed). I just shared it here, all credits to her.

It's a [native port](http://pkgsrc.se/wip/warsow), no wine32 or
COMPAT_LINUX required; here's the [initial
commit](https://wip.pkgsrc.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=pkgsrc-
wip.git;a=commitdiff;h=c9fd968130d65074920814389902ff2937dda16f); game
is built on [QFusion](https://qfusion.github.io/qfusion/)

Thanks!

Cool to hear Z is now working on NetBSD, but if it's something that
people might actually want to playwith/use, a pointer (or even vague
description) to how to do it is very useful.

you're welcome; I enjoy playing with pkgsrc-wip, hence from  time to
time I end up fixing things on partially-ported stuff I like by
myself; never got into games' hacking though. Again, as the game was
reported not to compile yet, while according to video, cfkoch has
presumably got it working now, I shall wait for a revision to be
upstreamed and attempt compiling it myself on HEAD by that time.

this was mostly the work of leonid bobrov who got it working for
openbsd btw

Nice job! FreeBSD doesn't even have this port yet :(
