Free directx software for linux

K-3D is the free-as-in-freedom 3D modeling, animation, and rendering system for GNU / Linux, Posix, and Win32 operating systems. K-3D features a robust, object-oriented plugin architecture, designed to scale to the needs of professional artists, and is designed from-the-ground-up to generate motion-picture-quality animation using RenderMan-compliant render engines. We strongly recommend the Aqsis render engine for use with K-3D.
K-3Ds innovative interactive tutorial system will introduce you to basic use of the program. New tutorials can easily be recorded and shared with the rest of the community.
K-3D allows you to create and edit documents in multiple realtime OpenGL solid, shaded, texture-mapped views. You can even model, animate, and interact with animations while they play back for maximum productivity!

G3D project is a high-performance 3D graphics for games and simulations.
G3D is a C++ library for game developers, researchers, and students. It is a base of robust and high performance code common to most 3D projects.
It is not a stand-alone graphics or game engine, but is a set of pieces to jump start your own engine or graphics project.
The library has two parts: G3D for pure math, and GLG3D for interacting with hardware acceleration via OpenGL.
You can use G3D without GLG3D if you want to use another 3D API (like DirectX) or dont like the OpenGL abstraction.
Enhancements:
- This release contains a hardware accelerated, skinnable OpenGL GUI, a new user manual, a new unified build system for all platforms, zipfile loading, and hundreds of other new features.

Dave Gnukem is a 2D scrolling platform shooter. It is inspired by and similar to Duke Nukem 1, one of my all-time favourite games. It currently runs on Windows, Linux and BeOS.

Although this is by no means a finished game, it is playable. You can walk, jump, shoot baddies, collect stuff, die, teleport, open doors, use lifts, open boxes etc. There is also a level editor.

I started writing this back in 1995 in my first year at university (actually it goes back longer than that, before that there was a pascal/assembly version), and work on it intermittently whenever I get time and inspiration.

It was originally a DOS-based 16 color EGA game; I then converted it to Linux/GGI, then I did a DirectX-based Windows port, and then I converted it to SDL. The code is a bit messy due to its colourful history, Im slowly trying to clean it up.

Let me know if you would like to help with this project; comments, code, graphics, sound and levels are all very welcome.

Boycott Advance is a SDL based Gameboy Advance Emulator.
Boycott Advance/SDL is based on the BA core, with one essential difference: it uses the Simple Direct Media Library rather than the DirectX libraries. Consequently, it can be used on many different platforms, while still using the excellent BA core.
Unlike the original BA, BA/SDL doesnt have any GUI(except for the BeOS version), though for those who dislike commandline programs there are several frontends available (see download section).
Enhancements:
- Completely insync with BoyCott Advance v0.2.8;
- Incorperated the new sdlemu library;
- BoyCott Advance sdl-core is completely rewritten for use of the new sdlemu library;
- Many bugfixes and code enhancements (somewhat speedier);
- Many filter options to a total of 19(!) different SDL filters;
- Optimized OpenGL and SDL rendering options;
- And many changes which are infact to many to note!;

GGI stands for General Graphics Interface, and it is a project that aims to develop a reliable, stable and fast graphics system that works everywhere. We want to allow any program using GGI to run on any platform, requiring at most a recompile.
Historically, GGI was developed in order to provide a unified interface to manage access to graphics hardware under Linux, to avoid the conflicts and instability arising from the direct access of hardware by competing graphics systems such as X and svgalib.
GGI project is now focussed on developing a set of portable user-space libraries, with an array of different backends or targets (eg. framebuffer, X, quartz, directx).
While GGI no longer aims to manage direct access to graphics hardware, we provide a target to use the interfaces provided by our associated KGI Project[->], which is concerned with providing the necessary kernel level support (protection, virtualization and abstraction) through a fast, secure and portable Kernel Graphics Interface.
Developed in a professional manner, the clean design, stability and scalability of GGI make it excellent in embedded, production and research environments, and it is user-supported with complete source.
The GGI project provides various libraries, of which the two most fundamental are LibGII (for input-handling) and LibGGI (for graphical output). All other packages add features to these core libraries, and so depend on one or both of them; for a more in-depth explanation of package categories, see the longer introduction to GGI.
Enhancements:
- Bootstrapping (aka running autogen.sh) now works with automake 1.10.
- display-lcd823, display-vgl, display-tile, display-quartz, crossblit, and generic blitting operations have been fixed.

Sloth Online RPG is aJava Online RPG with Real-Time Action and rich 2D graphics.

Sloth Online RPG is a work in progress that will provide a fully graphical online role playing game engine. SlothORPG is coded in Java and is currently in a near playable state featuring several classes with over a thousand lines of code.

My main intentions with this project are to provide a free, fully functional, ever expanding Role Playing Engine (both client and server side) for the end user who would be playing the game. Developers would also be able to use the project as a resource on certain aspects of Java Game Programming.

Server side the project implements the NIO Networking library to create a smoother, stronger tcp/ip core. I found UDP and TCP w/ the old IO library to be unreliable and sluggish respectively. The way in which the server is structured has proven to be strong thus far.

The client side of the code features the Graphics2D Java library to provide near perfect animation without requiring a rendering device such as OpenGL or DirectX.

To summarize my entire intent for this project I basically wanted to provide an Online RPG that is functional on almost any OS that has Java installed and can run just as smooth on low end machines while still being able to feature rich 2-D graphics. The source code is clean and neat as well as commented and organized.

It is easy to read and understand for someone who has some knowledge of Java. As I write this, the project is coming along nicely and some pre-alpha local network testing has proven this. I plan to continue with this project and in the future include database integration and more of a developer-side interface.

A quick rundown of what this project includes so far: Character Creation, Smooth character animation, and fully supported tcp/ip gameplay. Chatting is also implemented.
