Free artificial intelligence software for linux

Distributed Artificial Life project uses spare CPU cycles to create life.

Distributed Artificial Life is a distributed version of Tom S. Rays Tierra artificial life program. It uses spare CPU cycles to simulate a distributed soup of living cells.

Note that the machine language used is similar to but not compatible with Tierra. Tom Ray talks about his work (as far as I know, never completed) to create a "Digital Reserve". The DLIFE project is a development of this.

In other words, its an alternative to the tedious process of cracking RC5 keys or searching for aliens. Youve got a supercomputer on your desk, lets go and create some life ...

It consists of a highly optimized engine for running the artificial life cells in a virtual machine, written in C, and some Perl scripts which can upload and download cells from central ``cell-bank servers.

Tactical Rogue game aims to take the best of two very interesting concepts and merge them together, namely, the variety and endlessness of rogue and the strategic elements of Tactics Ogre/Final Fantasy Tactics.

Basically this means well be autogenerating vast amounts of items, weapons and armors, autogenerating dungeon labyrinths and autogenerating monsters based on set profiles. Then, we will use these autogenerated worlds and enforce a strategical/tactical engine based upon many simply attributes such as speed, movement, agility, strength, dexterity, wisdom, intelligence, hp, mp, level, class and experience. The game will run semi-realtime, in the sense that time progresses until someones wait-time reaches zero allowing them to move/act which will then reset their wait-time to its maximum value based upon the characters traits and attributes.

The game will be developed under linux using sdl and c++, using .png for graphical storage of sprites and aminations and .ogg (vorbis) for storage of sound effects and music. All files, be it code, music or sprites will be licenced in a license compatible with the GPL, most likely under the GPL.

Einstein puzzle is a free cross-platform open source remake of old DOS game Sherlock which was inspired by Albert Einsteins puzzle.

Einstein said that only those with an intelligence quotient of 98 percentile and higher should be able to solve it.

The game goal is to open all cards in square of 6x6 cards. For this, a number of hints describing relations between card positions are given. Use them to find the correct layout.

Einstein 2.0 features sound support, full internalization, Russian localization, reengineered resource subsystem to allow custom graphics themes and in-game rules browser.

A framework (language + interpreter + GUI/IDE) dedicated to the setting up of intelligent personal assistants (IPAs).

this website is currently out-of-date. narval is undergoing heavy development and a new release should be published befor the end of 2004. due to some external constraints, it is not possible to show the code at the moment. we hope youll stay tuned anyway. subscribe to our announce mailing-list to be informed when it comes out.

Narval is the first software agent available as free software (Gnu Public License).

Narval is the acronym of "Network Assistant Reasoning with a Validating Agent Language".

Narval is a framework (language + interpreter + GUI/IDE) dedicated to the setting up of intelligent personal assistants (IPAs).

An Intelligent Personal Assitant is a companion that will help you in your daily work in the information world. It runs on your machine or on a remote server, and you can communicate with it via all standard means (email, web, telnet, phone, specific GUI, etc). It executes recipes (sequences of actions) you wrote, to perform a wide range of tasks, such as prepare your morning newspaper, help you surf the web by filtering out junk ads, keep searching the web day after day for things you want, participe in on-line auctions, learn you interests and bring you back valuable information, take care of repetitive chores, answer e-mail, negociate the date and time of a meeting, and much more... It is easy to extend the built in action library by writing new actions in Python.

The mascot of the Narval Project is called Ornicar and is (of course) a narwhale.

Narval features cutting-edge artificial intelligence and software design techniques. When it was born a few months ago, cyber-fairies predicted it would rapidly spread across the internet and into the world to become the ubiquitous dedicated intelligent personnal assistant weve all been longing for during the dark ages of dumb computing ;-).

Narval is designed to be a companion that will help you in your daily work in the information world. It runs on your machine or on a remote server, and you can communicate via all standard means (email, web, telnet, phone, etc). It executes recipes you wrote, to perform a wide range of tasks, such as prepare your morning newspaper, help you surf the web by filtering out junk ads, keep searching the web day after day for things you want, participe in on-line auctions, learn you interests and bring you back valuable information, take care of repetitive chores, answer e-mail, and much more...

All these features are not available yet, but you can easily specify new action using and implement new plug-ins in Python. At Logilab, we already use a narval called Gizmo as a project coordinator, and each of us has a narval companion!

Calindor project is a Fantasy World Simulation server that implements Eternal Lands protocol and can be played with Eternal Lands or compatible client software.
The Eternal Lands is a FREE MMORPG with Open Source Client and closed source server.
There are 3 main reasons why this project was started:
- Learn about an architecture of an massive user, mutlithreaded server software
- Create detailed models of fantasy worlds and evaluate how they will evolve by human or artificial interaction
- Enable map makers to test their maps in live environments
Enhancements:
- With this release, about 85% of the scope for 0.4.0 has been completed.
- Following was improved.
- Attack was implemented.
- Death, respawning, and resurrection were implemented.
- Dimensions were implemented.
- The starting map was updated.

Mars Simulation Project is a free software Java project to create a simulation of future human settlement of Mars.
The simulation is a multi-agent artificial society set in a detailed virtual world.
XML configuration files allow the user to modify the simulation properties.
The Mars Simulation Projects main window contains the following components:
- Menu Bar
- Search Tool
- Time Tool
- Mars Navigator
- Monitor Tool
- Rover Info Window
- Settlement Info Window
- Person Info Window
- Unit Bar
The Mars Simulation Project can be configured with a number of XML configuration files located in the "conf/" directory. It is recommended that you save a backup copy of a configuration file before modifying it in case there is an error and the simulation cannot read the modified configuration file.
Here are the configuration files you can modify for the simulation. You will need to start a new simulation for any changes to be loaded in.
- buildings.xml
- crops.xml
- landmarks.xml
- malfunctions.xml
- medical.xml
- people.xml
- settlements.xml
- simulation.xml
- vehicles.xml
Enhancements:
- This release includes the new mission tool for viewing, creating, and editing missions as well as plenty of bugfixes.

FAangband is a first age Tolkien-based variant of Angband.
A roguelike game set in the wilderness and dungeons of Middle Earth in the first age. Fight your way through plains, mountains, forests, swamps, deserts and dungeons to face Morgoth, Lord of Darkness. Not a short game.
Here are the big changes:
- Races have been significantly changed. Half-Orcs, Half-Trolls, Half-elves and Shadow Fairies have gone; there are new varieties of Elves, Dwarves and Men. Dwarves as a whole tend to have better Intelligence than Wisdom; the reverse is true for (most) Elves and Hobbits. Different races also have significantly different starting conditions.
- There is wilderness. Wilderness is like and unlike dungeon. On the similar side, it is randomly generated in rectangular pieces; the "level" still only goes up or down by one in going from one piece to the next; there is a structured way of advancing through the wilderness. On the other hand, it looks different (no rooms); there are sometimes choices as to how to advance (north or west, maybe, rather than just down); and tactics become quite different. There are five basic types of wilderness - open plains, dense forests, rocky mountains, harsh deserts and pathless swamps. It also has day and night, which affects light-hating monsters and the players need for light.
- There are multiple towns, small and large, spread throughout the wilderness. Each race starts in its natural town. This means that the starting towns for some races are in the middle of quite dangerous wilderness. In order to reduce extreme effects of this (instant death, or instant growth of 15 levels), some races have improved starting equipment, and several races start with some experience already (advancing them in character level up to a maximum of level 5). High elves are no longer the easy option, at least at first. You can move your house to a different town, but only once you have walked there.
- There are multiple dungeons (five, to be precise). At the bottom of each is a guardian, who can only appear there or in special circumstances (which you may be able to guess...) be summoned. The first specialist ability (and second as well for warriors) is still learned at the beginning, but the two others each become available on killing a dungeon guardian. It is possible to ignore the other dungeons and head straight for Angband, but theres a heavy price to pay.
- Word of Recall works differently. Read away from your home town, it still takes you back there. Read in your home town, you are given a list of up to four points to recall to. When you recall back to town, you get the choice of which of your recall points you wish to update.
- Anything from later than the First Age has been removed. No more Rings of Power, Grishnakh, Anduril, Saruman, Witch-King, etc. There are some new uniques, artifacts and ego-items (and some just renamed). There are also new item sets, and some reworked artifacts.
- There is no savefile compatibility with Oangband or Angband. Savefiles had to change at least to accommodate changes to data structures (particularly the player data), and the big changes to races meant that any translation would be rather artificial. Anyone with an Oangband savefile should keep playing it in Oangband; anyone with an Oangband compatible Angband savefile (version 2.9.1 or older) should be congratulated and, well, upgrade.
Enhancements:
- large reduction in wilderness monsters
- better handling of savefile paths
- increase in wilderness vaults
- some extra dungeon vaults
- several bugfixes
