AirTraffic is game that intends to put you into the hot-seat of an Air Traffic Controller. It is available freely to anyone under FSF's GPL license. The AirTraffic game consists of various server programs and a GTK/Gnome client at the moment. The client uses GTK/Gnome as it's UI and is being developed on and for GNU/Linux. If you think of AirTraffic as a bunch of cooperating air traffic controllers, it is easy to see how it could make a very involved multi-player game. A player chooses what kind of controller they want to take as role and they get put into that situation. It is possible to make it a "jump-in" game, since a game is continues with planes coming in and leaving. If a player is fed up with it, they drop out of the game, and a AI takes over. Similarly, if all places for a certain kind of controller are taken in the running games are taken, a new area or airport is generated for them to jump into. With the use of AI, a single player game will be almost like a multi-player game, though chatting might be limited :).
