Hello my name is Daniel Hanrahan are my latest two games fun and do you guys think I allow donations on my site.
My site: https://daniel-hanrahan-tools-and-games.github.io/
My latest 2 games:
A historically accurate strategy simulation game about the crusade campaign for Iberia/ crusade parts of the reconquista in Spain and Portugal: https://github.com/Daniel-Hanrahan-Tools-and-Games/The_Crusade_Campaign_For_Iberia
A turn-based fighting game like Pokemon Stadium but with in fight cutscenes similar to Dragon Ball Gokuden Legend Of The Super Sayian but it is text-based and a roguelike: https://github.com/Daniel-Hanrahan-Tools-and-Games/Superhero_Tournament
How do you play them? I don’t see any builds or even screenshots to see what they look like
Both games are text based
The first game has a linux x86 executable in its folder in the repository and the second game has a linux x86 executable in this directory in the link target/release.

I see no reason someone shouldn't be allowed to ask for donations. If you want to accept donations, go for it. There doesn't need to be a special reason to do so.
Donations should come without obligations though. If someone donates, yay, but donations should never be in exchange for something (that would be a payment).
You really shouldn't be including the actual binary/executable in the git repo. Best practice is to put it pretty much anywhere else.
I'm sorry but I have been busy lately and why would you not want the executable in the repository.
@danielhanrahantng @vala
Git itself is meant to be used to track the source code and assets needed to compile or run a specific application, therefor adding a binary is kinda strange as it is already is created and not source code anymore.
There is a special place for that on GitHub. You should create a release for each version with information what changed and add the binary there as asset.
In a perfect world those binaries should be build by an CI pipeline but I think it's okay if not.
Ok thank you
