Free custom strategy role playing game software for linux

Custom Strategy Role Playing Game project is an engine for creating strategy role-playing games.
Two players confront two parties of characters (which have RPG attributes: job, level, exp, skills, etc.) over a battlefield, and the surviving party wins.
Jobs, skills, etc. are stored in XML custom files. It has a combat style similar to Final Fantasy Tactics and Shining Force.
Enhancements:
- Custom effects for skils.
- New contender attribute managing is working now.
- New skill types and skill capabilities (as enable at a certain level).
- Contenders final attributes can now depend on skills.
- Jobs have now a basic bonus and a level bonus (which depends on
- contenders level).
- Partial code rewriting for some old features.

Untahris Common Playground - you can play several classic fun, simple arcade games. But playing alone is not fun, and you can play them in multiplayer mode (on one computer, local network, or maybe Internet).
Now, Untahris has an original experimental feature, which makes it more than just a bundle of these games! In multiplayer mode each player can play a different game --- however, they play all on the same board. This may lead to funny interactions, battles or alliances between them.
The games in Untahris have been modified to make them better interact with each other. Thus, in each game you are allowed to shoot and collect bonuses, even if it was not a part of the original game.
Enhancements:
- The graphics were improved.
- Balls can kill bombers now.
- Worms, initial world selection, and sound were added.
- The homepage was made prettier.

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.

Scroll Rack is a virtual tabletop on which you can play card games against other people over a network.
Scroll Rack was designed to simulate the Magic: The Gathering (R) game, but it can be expanded to simulate other games.
It supports two-player peer-to-peer mode, and client/server mode for multi-player games and tournaments.
Main features:
- Open source.
- Support planned for Linux, Mac, and Windows.
- Can download card images from www.wizards.com and display them on the virtual tabletop.
- Clients can connect directly (peer-to-peer) or through a server run by a third party.
- Peer-to-peer games use encryption to prevent players from seeing cards they arent allowed to see.
- Peer-to-peer games use Jabber so both players can be behind firewalls.
- Client/server games support any number of players and watchers.
- Supports Living Wish (move card from sideboard to hand).
- Supports Battle of Wits (very large decks).
Enhancements:
- Add Deck Editor.
- Download card images from magiccards.info instead of wizards.com. Higher quality images.
- Download Oracle spoiler file from a Scroll Rack dedicated site instead of gatherer.wizards.com. Faster, more reliable download, with more data.
- Rearrange files in .scrollrack.cache.
- Add Save Log menu item.
- When starting a game with a sideboarded deck, show note in New Game dialog.

Catch the Furball project is an icebreaker board game for friends to play around a computer.

It features a freshly-generated board for each game, an eclectic collection of cards, and beautiful pictures of Cambridge University.

The distribution is intended both to allow Web masters to quickly set up their own copy of the game, and to allow tinkerers to use the game engine to make their own games.

It includes the editor used to create game data.

Teeny Weeny Microgame Engine project is a console/curses interface for playing near-arbitrary board games.
The Teeny Weeny Microgame Engine is a specification for the portable play of board- style games in a wide variety of computing environments. As proof-of-concept, teeny-cpp implements the Teeny LRFC (Lesser RFC) and many extended features with a shell-like console interface and a curses-based UI.
Despite their simple appearances, they are very extensible via C++ and basic game script code using the commands defined in the LRFC. It is intended for hard-core hobby board gamers or war gamers.
Main features:
- Acts as a reference implementation of and an experimentation ground for the Teeny LRFC.
- It has two major modes of operation: console mode (for the Power User) and curses mode (for a colorful UI).
- Internally controlled almost completely via the command language interface described in the Teeny LRFC. This allows us to extend the list of game options almost indefinately without having to change the internals of the framework. This also inherently allows us to operate the game environment via scripts containing lists of game commands.
- The scriptability means we can use arbitrary tools to generate game data. For example, creating games using bash scripts is often easier than hand-writing game scripts because we can take advantage of the advanced features of such a shell, like loops and conditionals (which are lacking in our code).
- The curses UI allows some keys to be programmed to arbitrary command strings. This makes doing common operations a snap. (i hope to improve this support to cover most keys.) For example, map a key to the command teeny-board rotate to quicky rotate your game board.
- For boardgame designers it offers a pretty simple interface for prototyping game designs.
- Generic plugins/DLL support means clients may plug in their own commands or even plug in their own plugin base types. As a demonstration, the source comes with EDeck, a plugin for handling abstract decks of cards (i.e., lists of shuffleable items from which we may pull items off the top). Of course... this plugin can be controlled via the command language interface, so its scriptable.
- The curses UI has support for manipulating all commonly-used curses text attributes, including colors, bold, blink, underline, etc., for the game board. Attributes are specified on a per-Avatar basis, and each set of attributes (colormap) may be named, loaded and saved at will. As usual, these are controlled via the command language, and are thus scriptable.
- Most parts of the interface support the use of $VARIABLES from the user. e.g., loading $TEENY_HOME/file.s11n will load the file ~/.teeny/foo.s11n. You may of course define and manipulate these variables as you wish.
- Startup of the app can be customized via a script. e.g., to load a game or macro keys, set up environment variables, etc.
- Powerful, flexible object serialization support, which means that we can add support for saving/loading near-arbitrary data with extremely little effort, without having to worry one iota about the underlying data formats, transport layers, and other bogusness. We can independently save and load almost all parts of the games state if we wish, as well. Shameless plug: http://s11n.net
- The source code is fairly hackable, if i may say so. Adding command handlers and DLLs is especially simple for even entry-level C++ coders. im always looking for ways to improve the code, so feel free to contribute :).

GTetrinet project is a client program for the popular Tetrinet game, a multiplayer tetris game that is played over the internet.

TitanGS Java project is a multi-player role playing game set in the Star Trek universe.

TitanGS Java is a project to create a game base on the Star Trek universe, that would have no unnecessary rules. The only limits of the game are Star Trek physics (not very limiting).

What the achillies lacks in warp speed it more than makes up for in attack strength. It has some of the strongest phasers in StarFleet. Its array of micro torpedos makes it dangerous to attack from any angle.

The substantial crew complement required to operate, and the prohibitive cost of this ship keeps production fairly low.

Even though there arent many of them, theyre used quite extensively; due mostly to their high success rate.
