ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Open source video game

Okay, kiddo, let me explain what an open source video game is.

Do you know what a video game is? It's like a game you play on your computer or phone. Some video games are made by big companies, but other times people just make them for fun.

Now, when we talk about something being open source, it means that anyone can see how it's made and change it if they want to. Think of it like a coloring book that you and your friends can all color in together.

So, an open source video game is a video game that anyone can look at the code for and change it if they want to. This means that lots of people can work together to make the game better by fixing bugs, adding new features or making it work on different devices.

It's like a big community project where lots of people can help out and make the video game even cooler than it was before. And because it's open source, nobody can own it or charge money for it, which means it's free for everyone to enjoy!
