Free arkanoid space ball software for linux

Brawl Ball project is a game of football based on the Blood Bowl ruleset.
Brawl Ball is a game of football based on the rules of the fantasy football game, Blood Bowl. It supports the full "basic" Blood Bowl ruleset.
Main features:
- Five basic player skills: block, catch, dodge, pass, & sure hands
- Team rerolls & player rerolls
- Team customization and/or creation using an xml format file and custom images
- Preferences for a strict adherence to the rules, or a more loosely played game
- Supports multiple languages (see internationalization)

Plan 9 From User Space is a port of the bulk of the Plan 9 software build environment to Unix.
While the libraries make an attempt to play nice with the rest of the system (by using the Unix rules for printf verbs and Unix system headers, for example), this port tries to reproduce the Plan 9 build environment as faithfully as possible, providing u.h and libc.h, and blithely redefining tokens such as open, dup, and accept in order to provide implementations that better mimic the Plan 9 semantics.
The result is a more complicated and less Unix-friendly environment, but Plan 9 programs can typically be compiled with little or no changes.
Most obviously, plan9port derives from Plan 9 from Bell Labs and would not exist without the work of the Plan 9 team over the past many years.
Rob Pike suggested the original X11 port of libdraw years ago, as part of drawterm, and strongly encouraged the Mac OS X work. He has also been a consistent source of good ideas to hide the ugliness of modern Unix.
William Josephson handled troff(1) (with Taj Khattra) and many of the supporting programs. He also inspired the thread library clean-up and has ported a handful of applications.
Andrey Mirtchovski and Axel Belinfante have done significant work dealing with X11 corner cases and fine-tuning rio(1). Axel never tires of finding bugs in the SunOS port.
Latchesar Ionkov has contributed many fixes to tricky bugs, and got factotum(4) up and running.
Many other people have provided help, ported programs, written bug reports, sent useful patches, and gotten plan9port running on new systems.
Bigelow & Holmes, Inc. created the screen fonts in the luc, lucm, lucsans, and pelm directories and granted permission to redistribute them with plan9port.
Enhancements:
- A FUSE-related bug was fixed. See http://lists.cse.psu.edu/archives/9fans/2006-July/048531.html

Space Racer project is a OpenGL Car Game in a galactic environment.

It aims to be a clone of the well known Stunt Car Racer developed by Geff Crammond, author of Grand Prix I and II.

To play a 3dfx is recommanded. But TNT and Matrox Cards should now work.

If you have a 3dfx, you can take advantage of OpenGL 1.1 in adding this line in config.h:

#define SP_OPENGL_1_1

NeverNoid is an Arkanoid clone. Although there are tons of free games of this type I felt I could do better (Any programmer can second that)

The name NeverNoid is a bit of a wordjoke :) "Nooit" is dutch for "Never" and is pronounced the same way as "Noid". "Never nooit" is also an expression you hear in The Netherlands sometimes and simply means "Never ever".

The game itself hardly needs explanation, but heres some general hints.

NeverNoid features 12 types of powerups/downs.

At some level in the game one or more floaters will enter the game. When hit your ball will instantly change direction. All they do is nag you.

A unique feature is the energy bar. Every time you pick up a powerup (or powerdown) the energy bar charges fully. During play the energy slowly drops and once its depleted your powers go with it.

There are 40 unique maps with 5 levels of difficulty. After playing all maps on a difficulty levels you will start over at a more difficult level. Even though you can choose a new game at only 5 levels the difficulty will keep increasing during gameplay. Thats 200+ levels of fun !

NeverNoid can be played with a mouse or using the keyboard (which makes it more difficult).

Really Rather Good Battles In Space is a real time strategy game with fleets of spaceships.
Single player real time strategy game following the fall of the great Argonian empire.
Main features:
- a short but relatively polished single player campaign
- pretty (albeit 2d) graphics
- spaceships
- explosions

Space Commander is a game that aims to be similar to Elite and Privateer, with maybe a bit of Trade Wars thrown in.
The project is a remarkably functional space simulation with under 200 lines of code in the main file.
DEPENDENCIES
You need a recent version of Python and some support libraries. The game is currently being written using Python v 2.4.3 but it may work with newer or older versions with some minor tweaking. I intend to be using Python 2.5 and PyGame 1.8 shortly.
- Python 2.4.3
- PyGame 1.7
- Numeric 22.0
Basically you need a pretty complete Python kit. Most Linux distributions should have everything that you need and Windows / OSX users will be able to install it all with a small bit of effort.
To play the MIDI score in Linux you have to install and configure Timidity due to some old code in sdl-mixer which is a pre-dependency of PyGame. If the game crashes and
complains about midi, just comment out the MIDI line in spacecommander.py to disable it.
As to performance issues. I pass the buck. If it runs too slowly then get a faster computer, better graphics card, better operating system, whatever.
The idea of writing this in Python is to have a compromise between ultimate performance and the ability to understand and tinker around with the code.
You could try reducing the number of stars in the galaxy by editing bigbang.py also.
Feel free to re-write the game in hand optimized assembler, but you must send me a copy of your code per the LICENSE.
RUNNING THE GAME
Linux: ./spacecommander.py
KEYBOARD COMMANDS
ESC / Q: Quit the game
Left / Right: Yaw

Enhancements:
- The main engine was completely rewritten and now supports flying a spaceship around a randomly generated galaxy. 2D rendering of objects using PyGame is supported.
- Mouse flight control is featured.
