Game Launcher project is a universal front end for emulators.
The main goal is to provide a user interface that is easy to use and attractive, yet does not look like a traditional user interface with windows and such.
Game Launcher should work with any emulator, but it has been known to work with MAME, Nesticle, RockNES, zSNES, snes9x, Callus, Stella, z26, and Versions are available for Unix, DOS, and Windows.
Main features:
- Very flexible. It should run with any command line emulator.
- Simple and easy to use interface.
- Plays music in the background (MP3s or an audio CD).
- Displays screenshots (PNG, PCX, BMP, and JPEG).
- Customizable font.
- Customizable screen resolution.
- Support for vertical (rotated) monitors.
- Slight menu animations.
- Support for PC joysticks.

gewee game is a Go-like board game with "next generation" graphics.

This is a game between a human ("player") and a computer ("opponent"). The players objective is to accumulate as many points as possible. When the player wins a game, a point is added to his/her score. When the player loses a game, a point is subtracted from his/her score. The competitor with the most pieces on the board at the end of the game is the winner. A game is finished when a competitor forfeits, or has no valid empty square to place a piece on. The opponent is granted additional moves at the start of a game based on the players score.

Each competitor has a distinct set of pieces of the same shape and color. The competitors take turns placing one piece on an empty square on the board. A piece or group of pieces that has no empty square adjacent to it is removed from the board.

Games::PerlWar is a Perl variant of the classic Corewar game.

This is a sparring program, similar to the programmed reality of the Matrix.
It has the same basic rules, rules like gravity. What you must learn is that
these rules are no different than the rules of a computer system. Some of
them can be bent, others can be broken. - Morpheus

PerlWar is inspired by the classic http://www.corewar.info/|Corewar game. In this game, players pit snippets of Perl code (called agents) against each other in order to gain control of the vicious virtual battlefield known as... the Array.

GAME PARAMETERS

Size of the Array

The number of cells that the Array possesses. Each cell can hold one agent.

Agent Maximal Size

The maximal length, in characters, of an agent. If an agent is or becomes larger than this limit, it automatically segfaults upon execution.

Game Maximal Number of Iterations

The maximal number of rounds that can be played before a game is declared over.

Game::Life - Plays Conways Game of Life.

SYNOPSIS

use Game::Life;
my $game = new Game::Life( 20 );
my $starting = [
[ 1, 1, 1 ],
[ 1, 0, 0 ],
[ 0, 1, 0 ]
];

$game->place_points( 10, 10, $starting );
for (1..20) {
my $grid = $game->get_grid();
foreach ( @$grid ) {
print map { $_ ? X : . } @$_;
print "n";
}
print "nn";
$game->process();
}

Conways Game of Life is a basic example of finding living patterns in rather basic rulesets (see NOTES). The Game of Life takes place on a 2-D rectangular grid, with each grid point being either alive or dead. If a living grid point has 2 or 3 neighbors within the surrounding 8 points, the point will remain alive in the next generation; any fewer or more will kill it. A dead grid point will become alive if there are exactly 3 living neighbors to it. With these simple rules, fascinating structures such as gliders that move across the grid, glider guns that generate these gliders, XOR gates, and others have been found.

This module simply provides a way to simulate the Game of Life in Perl.

In terms of coordinate systems as used in place_points, toggle_point and other functions, the first coodinate is the vertical direction, 0 being the top of the board, and the second is the horizontal direaction, 0 being the left side of the board. Thus, toggling the point of (3,2) will switch the state of the point in the 4th row and 3rd column.

The edges of the board are currently set as "flat"; cells on the edge do not have any neighbors, and thus will fall off the board. Future versions may allow for warp edges (if a cell moves off the left side it reappears on the right side).

Games::Mastermind::Solver is a Master Mind puzzle solver.

SYNOPSIS

# a trivial Mastermind solver

use Games::Mastermind;
use Games::Mastermind::Solver::BruteForce;

my $player = Games::Mastermind::Solver::BruteForce
->new( Games::Mastermind->new );
my $try;

print join( , @{$player->game->code} ), "nn";

until( $player->won || ++$try > 10 ) {
my( $win, $guess, $result ) = $player->move;

print join( , @$guess ),
,
B x $result->[0], W x $result->[1],
"n";
}

Games::Mastermind::Solver is a base class for Master Mind solvers.

Head Over Heels is a spanky new remake of the classic Jon Ritman & Bernie Drummand isometric adventure.

Head Over Heels was released, um, a while ago. Around about 1987 if I recall correctly and it was immediately praised in the press as being quite the bestest thing ever. Not only was it a huge game for its time, it also had great graphics and was very addictive - if somewhat punishing in its difficulty level.

The variety in the locations was amazing and the challenges brilliantly designed. Quite rightly it was awarded with pretty much every accolade that could be bestowed upon it by the various magazines. Even today it still stands as a brilliantly designed title and has never really been bettered in the isometric adventure genre.

This version is a pretty darn faithful remake of the Speccy original except with a few spanking extra bits grafted on like a save system and subliminal flashes of erotic art (if I have my way!). I should perhaps tell you a bit about the team whos making the game. Im the one responsible for the graphics (apart from the lovely logo which you see adorning this site) and Im Graham Goring.

The programming is by the very talented Tomaz Kac (who only wrote this game because of a hastily scrawled diagram posted on the Retrospec mailing list about how you cant properly sort isometric games without complex masking), the excellent music is by Dorian Black (who I understand has a picture of an old man in his loft - ha ha ha!) and this website and the games logo is by Pierre Jovanovic.

Other contributors are James Curry, Kakarot, Milos Babovic, Metka Jostl and Sir Dave-O whose beta testing has been invaluable in both ironing out the programming bugs and also refining the layout of some of the rooms due to the handling being ever so slightly different to the Spectrum version.

On a personal note Ive also been encouraged by all the lovely people at the pixelation forum (pixelation.swoo.net) and of course the other members of Retrospec who have now grudgingly accepted that I can actually draw fairly good graphics.

Pizza Game project is a 3D, real-time game in which you manage a pizza restaurant.
As manager, you must build a restaurant, buy the various objects and furniture that the restaurant requires, hire/fire/manage your employees, buy advertising, buy ingredients, set prices, and make sure your restaurant keeps your customers happy.
You start out with nothing more than an empty lot and a loan. Will you transform that lot into a thriving pizza business or fail to attract customers and watch your debt pile up?
Main features:
- Build your restaurant by placing walls, putting in doorways, installing windows.
- Decorate your restaurant by choosing from numerous paint colors and wallpaper designs.
- Put in tiles for your floors by choosing from a large selection of colors and designs.
- Buy the items and objects that your restaurant needs: tables, chairs, ovens, lights, and various miscellaneous objects that can make your restaurant the pizza parlor of choice for customers.
- Hire (and fire) the right employees that will perform the necessary tasks for running a pizza restaurant.
- Manage advertising for your pizza business.
- Buy the necessary ingredients for making pizzas and selling money-making side orders.
- Choose the opening and closing times for your restaurant in order to have your restaurant operate most efficiently.
Linux users: if you downloaded the binary version, and get an error when attempting to run the game that is related to Plugin_GuiElements.so, perform the following steps to remedy it:
1) create an OGRE subdirectory in /usr/lib
2) copy the Plugin_GuiElements.so in the libs subdirectory in the pizzagame directory to the OGRE subdirectory you just created

Chess::Game::MoveList is a specialized list class for recording the moves of a Chess::Game.

SYNOPSIS

$movelist = Chess::Game::MoveList->new("white", "black");
$wpawn = Chess::Game::Pawn->new("e2", "white");
$entry = $movelist->add_move($wpawn, "e2", "e4");
$true = $entry->get_piece() eq $entry;
$bpawn = Chess::Game::Pawn->new("e7", "black");
$entry = $movelist->add_move($bpawn, "e7", "e6");
$entry = $movelist->add_move($wpawn, "e4", "e5");
@del_entries = $movelist->delete_move(1, "white"); # delete the list
$true = $entries[0]->get_piece() eq $wpawn;
$true = $entries[0]->get_dest_square() eq "e4";
$true = $entries[1]->get_piece() eq $bpawn;
$true = $entries[1]->get_dest_square() eq "e6";

The Chess module provides a framework for writing chess programs with Perl. This class forms part of that framework, recording a log of all moves during a Chess::Game in such a fashion that the list can be used to undo moves that have been made.
