Games with user images & videos


This thread probably addresses small games such as puzzles, although 3D ones of this type (if any) would be awesome too. Either way, I'm looking for any open-source Linux games which dynamically use art (images and / or videos) from the user's computer. It would be a nice way of passing the time if pictures on your drive could actually be used as part of a game. Ideally by randomly choosing them from a folder full of image / video files, and using one or more files for each new world / game / whatever.

The most likely type of game to do this are puzzle ones... such as jigsaw puzzles. I can also imagine simple 2D / 3D games that place images from a specified folder as paintings on walls or something.

The only one I know of is Tetzle. For some reason I remembered it was closed source and Windows only, but it seems to be FOSS and for Linux too so I'll probably try it out again. Are there any more however?
