Resource Management Game project is a Web-based resource management game.

Resource Management Game is a PHP framework for easily creating resource management and strategy games.

Two playable games are included.

The system uses sessions to store data and should work out of the box with little or no configuration.

Legendary Legions is a turn-based strategy game with fantasy theme and rpg-elements (e.g. leveling the units, and skills which you could raise).
Your mission is to destroy enemys castle. You can be on good or evil side. A the moment game supports only 2 human player game, but in future we plan to add AI and network play. The gameplay is similar to this in Heroes of Might and Magic but its much simpler of course.
Game was written with allegro for graphic and:
- allegromp3 for music
- loadpng for png support
Note:
All units have been taken from Celtic Legends (an old Amiga game), the concept is a hybrid of Celtic Legends (its not clone), Heroes of Might & Magic and Civilization :D . The dragon in menu and in interface is not ours too as well as music in trailer ;D. Hmmm whats more... the code is ours (but we wont public it yet and everything is in polish so you wont understand it at all), the rest graphic are ours. Oh and sound when the unit is building is not ours too. I think its all about copyrights. The game is freeware, non-profit etc.
Enhancements:
- network multiplayer support
- graphic feature: dynamic clouds with lightining
- builder now can build tower or town
- performance tweak: framelimiter
- fixed bug: tower capture
- some optimization and bugfixes

Games::Dice is a Perl module that can be used to simulate dice rolls.

SYNOPSIS

use Games::Dice roll;
$strength = roll 3d6+1;

use Games::Dice roll_array;
@rolls = roll_array 4d8;

Games::Dice simulates die rolls. It uses a function-oriented (not object-oriented) interface. No functions are exported by default. At present, there are two functions which are exportable: roll and roll_array. The latter is used internally by roll, but can also be exported by itself.

The number and type of dice to roll is given in a style which should be familiar to players of popular role-playing games: adb[+-*/b]c. a is optional and defaults to 1; it gives the number of dice to roll. b indicates the number of sides to each die; the most common, cube-shaped die is thus a d6. % can be used instead of 100 for b; hence, rolling 2d% and 2d100 is equivalent. roll simulates a rolls of b-sided dice and adds together the results.

The optional end, consisting of one of +-*/b and a number c, can modify the sum of the individual dice. +-*/ are similar in that they take the sum of the rolls and add or subtract c, or multiply or divide the sum by c. (x can also be used instead of *.) Hence, 1d6+2 gives a number in the range 3..8, and 2d4*10 gives a number in the range 20..80. (Using / truncates the result to an int after dividing.) Using b in this slot is a little different: its short for "best" and indicates "roll a number of dice, but add together only the best few". For example, 5d6b3 rolls five six- sided dice and adds together the three best rolls. This is sometimes used, for example, in roll-playing to give higher averages.

Generally, roll probably provides the nicer interface, since it does the adding up itself. However, in some situations one may wish to process the individual rolls (for example, I am told that in the game Feng Shui, the number of dice to be rolled cannot be determined in advance but depends on whether any 6s were rolled); in such a case, one can use roll_array to return an array of values, which can then be examined or processed in an application-dependent manner.

This having been said, comments and additions (especially if accompanied by code!) to Games::Dice are welcome. So, using the above example, if anyone wishes to contribute a function along the lines of roll_feng_shui to become part of Games::Dice (or to support any other style of die rolling), you can contribute it to the authors address, listed below.

Games::Cards is a Perl module for writing and playing card games.

SYNOPSIS

use Games::Cards;
my $Rummy = new Games::Cards::Game;

# Create the correct deck for a game of Rummy.
my $Deck = new Games::Cards::Deck ($Rummy, "Deck");

# shuffle the deck and create the discard pile
$Deck->shuffle;
my $Discard = new Games::Cards::Queue "Discard Pile";

# Deal out the hands
foreach my $i (1 .. 3) {
my $hand = new Games::Cards::Hand "Player $i" ;
$Deck->give_cards($hand, 7);
$hand->sort_by_value;
push @Hands, $hand;
}

# print hands (e.g. "Player 1: AS 2C 3C 3H 10D QS KH")
foreach (@Hands) { print ($_->print("short"), "n") }

$Hands[1]->give_a_card ($Discard, "8D"); # discard 8 of diamonds

This module creates objects and methods to allow easier programming of card games in Perl. It allows you to do things like create decks of cards, have piles of cards, hands, and other sets of cards, turn cards face-up or face-down, and move cards from one set to another. Which is pretty much all you need for most card games.

Games::Goban is a board for playing go, renju, othello, etc.

SYNOPSIS

use Games::Goban;
my $board = new Games::Goban (
size => 19,
game => "go",
white => "Seigen, Go",
black => "Minoru, Kitani",
referee => &Games::Goban::Rules::Go,
);

$board->move("pd"); $board->move("dd");
print $board->as_sgf;

This is a generic module for handling goban-based board games. Theoretically, it can be used to handle many of the other games which can use Smart Game Format (SGF) but I want to keep it reasonably restricted in order to keep it simple.
