Free directx software for linux

The Irrlicht Engine is an open source high performance realtime 3D engine written and usable in C++ and also available for .NET languages.
Irrlicht Engine is completely cross-platform, using D3D, OpenGL and its own software renderer, and has all of the state-of-the-art features which can be found in commercial 3d engines.
Weve got a huge active community, and there are lots of projects in development that use the engine.
You can find enhancements for Irrlicht all over the web, like alternative terrain renderers, portal renderers, exporters, world layers, tutorials, editors, language bindings for java, perl, ruby, basic, python, lua, and so on. And best of all: Its completely free.

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.

QDGDF stands for Quick and Dirty Game Development Framework, and its a set of libraries designed to allow fast development of games under a variety of systems. Quick and Dirty Game Development Frameworks main goal is to show a platform-independent, consistent interface to UNIX/Linux and MS Windows.
Supported video systems:
- X11 Window System.
- MS Windows DirectX (DirectDraw).
- DJGPP.
- Linux SVGALIB.
Supported audio systems:
- Linux OSS.
- MS Windows DirectX (DirectSound).
- ESD (Enlightened Sound Daemon).
Enhancements:
- This release includes the following new functions: qdgdfv_load_pcx_pal(), which loads a 256 color PCX file and rearranges it to match the current palette; qdgdfv_load_pcx_pal_set(), which loads a 256 color PCX file and sets its palette as the active one; qdgdfv_home_dir() and qdgdfa_home_dir(), which return a path where a game can create a directory or write data; and qdgdfv_app_dir() and qdgdfa_app_dir(), which return a path where a game can look for its application data.

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.

ZIG is a client-server game networking engine. The current main version is "2", and it was launched in July, 2007 with ZIG 2.0.0. This software is free and it is licensed under a BSD-like license.
From the standpoint of ZIG, the graphics renderer, the sound engine and the input handler are all extensions you must provide. You will be able to plug your Allegro, SDL, DirectX, OpenGL etc. stuff into ZIG with ease. ZIG is a cross-platform C/C++ library which depends only on HawkNL versions 1.7 beta 1 or later.
Enhancements:
- This release brings about two years of bugfixes and enhancements, plus documentation rewritten from scratch.
- It includes SCTP-like transport of multiple message streams through a single ZIG client-server connection.
- Each stream enforces a message ordering that is independent of other streams.
- The ZIG streams also allow you to control bandwidth use (if you want to) and to mix reliable and unreliable messages on the same stream.
