Free flying space software for linux

Flying Saucer project is a pure Java XML/CSS 2 renderer whose aim is to provide spec-compliant CSS 2.1 rendering for any well-formed XML document.
The current codebase can render to Java2D-based canvases and to PDF via the iText library, and covers a great deal of the CSS 2.1 specification.
There are demos for rendering XHTML, rendering within Swing applications, and rendering to PDF. Direct rendering from DocBook or other XML formats is possible, provided the appropriate CSS is available.
Main features:
- Vertical margin collapsing; CSS 2.1 specification
- Z-index property and stacking contexts; CSS 2.1 specification
- Vertical-align: top/bottom; CSS 2.1 specification
- PDF rendering via the iText library; support for PDF bookmarks, pagination and breaks, and more
- Pagination support, automatic and explicit: CSS 2.1 specification
- Rewritten "float" implementation
- Improved list marker positioning
Enhancements:
- This release includes comprehensive table support, faster rendering, bugfixes, better image generation, near-complete compliance with the CSS 2.1 specification, including lots of improvements like better forms support, CSS counters, cursor property support, compliant font property handling, and so on.
- Theres even a completely new, fast, and compliant CSS 2.1 parser built-in.

IGE - Outer Space is an on-line strategy game with SciFi theme.

IGE - Outer Space is an on-line strategy game which takes place in the dangerous universe. You must become the commander of many stars, planets, and great fleets and you will struggle for survival with other commanders.

Outer Space communicates with the server in the same way as your browser, but you will need a special client to play it. Using this client you can create an account on the server and you can start to explore the world of the Outer Space.

Spacewar project is a 2-player arcade game.

Spacewar is an arcade game in which two players have to destroy each others space ship by hitting them with their lasers.

It uses SDL and runs on both Linux and Windows

Plan 9 From User Space is a port of the bulk of the Plan 9 software build environment to Unix.
While the libraries make an attempt to play nice with the rest of the system (by using the Unix rules for printf verbs and Unix system headers, for example), this port tries to reproduce the Plan 9 build environment as faithfully as possible, providing u.h and libc.h, and blithely redefining tokens such as open, dup, and accept in order to provide implementations that better mimic the Plan 9 semantics.
The result is a more complicated and less Unix-friendly environment, but Plan 9 programs can typically be compiled with little or no changes.
Most obviously, plan9port derives from Plan 9 from Bell Labs and would not exist without the work of the Plan 9 team over the past many years.
Rob Pike suggested the original X11 port of libdraw years ago, as part of drawterm, and strongly encouraged the Mac OS X work. He has also been a consistent source of good ideas to hide the ugliness of modern Unix.
William Josephson handled troff(1) (with Taj Khattra) and many of the supporting programs. He also inspired the thread library clean-up and has ported a handful of applications.
Andrey Mirtchovski and Axel Belinfante have done significant work dealing with X11 corner cases and fine-tuning rio(1). Axel never tires of finding bugs in the SunOS port.
Latchesar Ionkov has contributed many fixes to tricky bugs, and got factotum(4) up and running.
Many other people have provided help, ported programs, written bug reports, sent useful patches, and gotten plan9port running on new systems.
Bigelow & Holmes, Inc. created the screen fonts in the luc, lucm, lucsans, and pelm directories and granted permission to redistribute them with plan9port.
Enhancements:
- A FUSE-related bug was fixed. See http://lists.cse.psu.edu/archives/9fans/2006-July/048531.html

KFLog is an OpenSource program aimed at glider pilots. It gives you a powerfull tool to plan your flight tasks before you go flying and analyse your flights afterwards.

KFLog is the only flight analyser program available for Linux to be recognized by the FAI IGC.

KFLog projects the flights on a digital vectormap, that contains not only airfields and airspaces, but a complete elevation-map, roads, cities, rivers, and lots of other interesting objects.

Space Racer project is a OpenGL Car Game in a galactic environment.

It aims to be a clone of the well known Stunt Car Racer developed by Geff Crammond, author of Grand Prix I and II.

To play a 3dfx is recommanded. But TNT and Matrox Cards should now work.

If you have a 3dfx, you can take advantage of OpenGL 1.1 in adding this line in config.h:

#define SP_OPENGL_1_1

Svinepalsen project is a top-scrolling space shooter built with SDL.

In Svinepalsen, the year is 2223 and the population of space has begun.

You are tentacled creature from Nurobi Gernash on a mission to reach the home planet of a race called "humans".

You are to deliver one message to all nations of Earth: "There must be security for all or no one is secure".

The mission fails and you are forced to make an example of the human insolence.

With your vastly superior ship you must destroy all resistance. You must kill them all or there will be retaliation.

Space Commander is a game that aims to be similar to Elite and Privateer, with maybe a bit of Trade Wars thrown in.
The project is a remarkably functional space simulation with under 200 lines of code in the main file.
DEPENDENCIES
You need a recent version of Python and some support libraries. The game is currently being written using Python v 2.4.3 but it may work with newer or older versions with some minor tweaking. I intend to be using Python 2.5 and PyGame 1.8 shortly.
- Python 2.4.3
- PyGame 1.7
- Numeric 22.0
Basically you need a pretty complete Python kit. Most Linux distributions should have everything that you need and Windows / OSX users will be able to install it all with a small bit of effort.
To play the MIDI score in Linux you have to install and configure Timidity due to some old code in sdl-mixer which is a pre-dependency of PyGame. If the game crashes and
complains about midi, just comment out the MIDI line in spacecommander.py to disable it.
As to performance issues. I pass the buck. If it runs too slowly then get a faster computer, better graphics card, better operating system, whatever.
The idea of writing this in Python is to have a compromise between ultimate performance and the ability to understand and tinker around with the code.
You could try reducing the number of stars in the galaxy by editing bigbang.py also.
Feel free to re-write the game in hand optimized assembler, but you must send me a copy of your code per the LICENSE.
RUNNING THE GAME
Linux: ./spacecommander.py
KEYBOARD COMMANDS
ESC / Q: Quit the game
Left / Right: Yaw
