Free energy star software for linux

Shooting Star project is a 2D shooting game.

Shooting Star is a 2D action game which uses SDL and OpenGL.

The goal is to clear all levels of bad guys and make the World a better place.

Gang-star is somewhat like the drugwars game but with much more functionality. You could see it as a text-based GTA game. Gang-star project is fully text-based and does not have any dependencies. All you need for it to run is a C compiler.

The advantage of gang-star being text-based is that you can use your own imagination, compare it with reading a nice book over seeing a lame movie. You can play over 30 missions, have a gamble at the casino or the horse tracks, go to the nightclub to score some chicks, buy weapons and practice at the local shooting range, and much, much more.

Overview

Gang-star is a text-based game for the UNIX Operating System. You could see it as a text-based version of the infamous Grand Theft Auto game. At first glance you might think gang-star can be compared to the Drugwars game family but gang-star is far more advanced. The game is not about dealing drugs, the game is about the missions.

You start out in Gang-star city as a complete rookie. You have a little cash, no weapons, no nothing. The goal of the game is to become the biggest bad-ass in the city. To accomplish this goal you have to finish up to 30 missions. Next to this you can do a lot of other stuff, like playing the chicks in the nightclub, have a drink in the bar, play some games at the casino, gamble on horses at the racetracks, deal in weed, crack and speed, pimp hookers, and much, much more.

The game is not based on chance like a lot of games. What makes the game interesting is that your skills are upgraded the more you do it. The more shots you fire, the better your aim. The more respect you have, the easier you can hit on chicks, etc.

For a long time the UNIX Operating Sytem has lacked an expanded and fun game with no dependencies at all that would run on any system, but now its here. Welcome to Gang-Star.

Installation

To configure, compile and install gang-star, type:

% ./configure
% make
# make install (logged in as root)

Some people dont seem to get it, so heres how to use gang-star locally, without root access (e.g. on a shell account):

% ./configure
% make
% cd src
% ./gang-star

make compiles the gang-star sources and installs a binary in the src/ directory. You change your current working directory to src/ and locally execute gang-star.

TerraJ is a Java port of fractal terrain and simulated solar system generation programs.

The porting has included extensive refactoring, the creation of a documented API to enable reuse of parts in other programs, and extensions such as new Swing user interfaces. Full javadoc for the classes in the project is available.

The TerraJ suite currently contains the following software:

- Fracplanet - Generates fractal planets and terrains with a wide range of user controlled parameters. Has an OpenGL rendering preview using JOGL and can export to POVRay format for rendering.

- Stargen - Creates realistic planetary systems and stars using an accretion simulation. The resulting text and HTML output is template based and configurable.

- Planetary Terrain Generator - A second fractal terrain generation program. This one does not do 3D rendering but can output images using many different map projections.

- Dole Accretion - An older and slightly less complex star system generator included for reference and completeness.

Stardork project is a Linux console-based space shooter/maze game.

Stardork is a Linux console based game where (.)s represent stars and are randomly placed on the screen.

(X) represents your space ship and you move in in all directions, including diagonally, to position yourself to shoot the goal (@).

You can also shoot missles in all directions. If you run into a star you lose power. If you shoot or run into the goal then you move up a level and more random stars are plotted.

This eventually creates a more and more complex maze of stars you must nagivate through to position yourself to shoot the goal.

Beat all 34 levels and you are a master stardork.

After decades of war one company, who had gained powerful supplying both sides with weaponary, steps forwards and crushes both warring factions in one swift movement.
Using far superior weaponary and AI craft, the company was completely unstoppable and now no one can stand in their way.
Thousands began to perish under the iron fist of the company. The people cried out for a saviour, for someone to light this dark hour... and someone did.
Main features:
- 26 missions over 4 star systems
- Primary and Secondary Weapons (including a laser cannon and a charge weapon)
- A weapon powerup system
- Wingmates
- Missions with Primary and Secondary Objectives
- A Variety of Missions (Protect, Destroy, etc)
- 13 different music tracks
- Boss battles

Overslack is a slackline simulator/game. A configurable model world containing a slackline, a slacker and ground is visualized and its time evolution is calculated while the user controls the slacker using the mouse. Just like with real slacklining there is no predefined goal, but it keeps track of the time you stand on the line.

The simulated world has only two dimensions. Although the forward direction offers many possibilities on a real slackline, it has very little to do with balancing and is quite uninteresting to simulate. Slow speeds are assumed, so the air resistance is neglected. The time evolution is calculated by applying Newtonian physics numerically as many times per second as the machine can handle.

The speed of the simulated world is configurable, making it run five times as slow as the real world makes it slow enough to be manageable and fast enough to keep the attention up. Unlike normal grass ground, the ground in the simulation is bouncy and doesnt cause injuries. It is (unfortunately) a bit unrealistic, but makes it more fun.

The simulated line behaves according to a quite simple model. An ideal spring between the lines point of equilibrium and the slackers feet makes a good approximation, but an ideal spring gives back all energy it stores, which would cause you to bounce forever without helping with your legs. To simulate some friction, it has a somewhat different spring constant depending on whether its extending or compressing. It is of course fully configurable, so anything from an ideal spring to an old, tired and non-elastic line are possible to simulate.

The slacker is controlled with the mouse. Move the mouse down to extend the legs, and move it up to crouch. Move the mouse to the right to lower your right arm and raise your left, and to the left to do the opposite. This is pretty much all you can do on a real slackline too, except that you can move more than just your arms, but thats just a question of terminology.

The slacker is infinitely fast and strong, if you move the mouse the slacker will move instantly to the new position regardless of the force and energy required.
It is possible to jump off the line and land on it again, with or without bouncing on the ground in between, but to make it simpler the slacker is moved to a perfectly balanced position whenever you press the right mouse button.

In addition to the line, slacker and some on-screen numerical physical information, vectors visualizing location (white), speed (green) and acceleration (red), both translational and rotational, are shown.

CodeInvaders Challenge project is a Java-based, real-time programming game based on the Eclipse platform.

CodeInvaders Challenge is a Java™-based, real-time programming game based on the Eclipse platform. It uses the Eclipse platform and a simple API that allows users unfamiliar with Java to easily compete while they learn the language.

CodeInvaders Challenge gives users the opportunity to pit their Java programming skills against other players in a battle of space conquest. Each player writes a Java class that represents and controls a spaceship. Each ship (class) is placed in a simulated battle along with ships from other players.

The game puts up to six spaceships together in a match and places each of them in a random location with the same amount of energy. The spaceship class allows each player to control his ships thrusters and weapons. The ship can move around to collect energy, attack opponents, and bring energy back to its home planet. Points are awarded for different actions, and the player with the most points wins.

When used in a tournament, CodeInvaders Challenge allows direct, real-time competition between teams. Each player can submit his intermediate solutions and test against the submitted ships from other players. This competition allows each player to learn from the strategies of other players and modify his ship appropriately. After the final submission from each player, the final winner can be found by running a tournament consisting of several rounds and eliminations.
