Free games console software for linux

Games::Console Perl module provide a 2D quake style in-game console.

SYNOPSIS

use Games::Console;

my $console = Games::Console->new(
font => $font_object,
background_color => [ 1,1,0],
background_alpha => 0.4,
text_color => [ 1,1,1 ],
text_alpha => 1,
speed => 50, # in percent per second
height => 50, # fully opened, in percent of screen
width => 100, # fully opened, in percent of screen
backbuffer_size => 100, # keep so many messages
prompt => >,
cursor => _,
);

$console->screen_width($width);
$console->screen_height($height);
$console->toggle($current_time);
$console->message(Hello there!);
$console->input(a);

This package provides you with a quake-style console for your games. The console gathers messages and lets you scroll trough them. It also can display a command line.

This package is just a base class setting up everything, but doesnt actually render anything.

See Games::Console::SDL and Games::Console::OpenGL for subclasses that implement the actual rendering to the screen via SDL and OpenGL, respectively.

Mantaray Console is a distributed, peer-to-peer, server-less communication & messaging solution for JAVA (JMS), C++ and .NET app. Offers guaranteed delivery, security and transactions. It supports TCP, SSL & HTTP protocols.

Basic Installation Instructions
-------------------------------
1. Extract the MantaRay file under a directory of your choice.
From now on, this directory will be called MANTA_HOME.

2. Set the VM argument.
This argument should hold the path (full/relative) to the MantaRay configuration file.
The default name of the MantaRay configuration file is default_config.xml, and it is
located in config directory.
To set the argument add the following text in the VM execution command:
-DmantaConfig=
Example:
java -DmantaConfig=c:/mantaray1.9/default_config.xml MyApp
For further information on how to set the mantaConfig argument, see the MantaRay User Guide.

3. Optional: Set a name for the MantaRay domain.
The domain name is the name of the group to which the peer will be related.
Setting this parameter prevents collisions between peers that dont share the group.
To change the domain name, set the value of the tag MY-PEER.DOMAIN in the MantaRay
configuration file.
For further information about the domain parameter, see the MantaRay User Guide.

4. Optional: Set MantaRay peer name in the configuration file of MantaRay.
Each MantaRay peer needs to have a unique name. To change the peer name, set the
value of the tag MY-PEER.NAME in the MantaRay configuration file.
By default, MantaRay sets the peer name according to the following format:
m
Example:
Local resolved IP: 192.168.1.44
Free port (in port range): 6600
The name of the MantaRay peer: m192.168.1.446600
For further information about the peer name parameter, see the MantaRay User Guide.

5. Optional: Change the mulicast IP address and multicast port.
These parameters are used when one enables the MantaRay Auto Discovery plugin (default).
Changing this parameter for each MantaRay peer in the same domain assures that all
the peers in the same domain are discovered, and that peers that dont belong to that
domain will not be discovered and will not interfere.

Open Java Console is an extension which provides the ability to open the Java Console in Firefox.

This extension provides an option on the Tools menu that opens the Java Console, and a toolbar button in the JavaScript Console that also allows the console to be opened. The extension also adds the keystroke Ctrl+Shift+J to spawn the console from the keyboard, from either a browser window or the JavaScript Console.

New features in 1.0 include the addition of two preferences:

A preference for logging a message to the JavaScript Console whenever the Java Console is triggered

A preference for showing any exceptions generated by the browser when starting the Java Console

Mozilla 1.X has this feature, but Firefox does not, making access to the console difficult unless this extension is used.

When the Console^2 extension is installed, the Ctrl+Shift+J keystroke will trigger the Error Console instead of the Java Console from a browser window. Ctrl+Shift+J will still work from the Error Console.

The following languages have been added to the 1.6 release: Hungarian and Dutch.

Quiet Console Town project is a console RPG city simulator.

Console RPGs have you visiting towns all the time, but Quiet Console Town puts you in the place of the mayor of a budding new city. Build shops, attract adventurers, hope villains overlook you: all the aspects of a console RPG town are yours.

Welcome to your everyday ordinary quiet console town. By the looks of your deceased friend there, youll probably want to stay a night at the Inn. Yes, those puncture wounds and missing organs certainly seem fatal, but all he needs is a good nights sleep and then (somehow) hell be good as new. In the meantime, might I direct you to our armor shop?

A bit of plate inbetween you and the monster might help you stay healthy! I see your thief seems anxious - theres some shady characters near the magic shop she might want to meet up with. Finally, once youre all done, perhaps you could look into the matter of our haunted mine...?

Quiet Console Town is a turn-based console RPG city simulator. You, as mayor, build the kind of RPG town youve always wanted heroes to visit. Buildings range from the simple Inn to the intricate dungeons beneath your mighty Citadel.

People can be as good as the most pious do-gooder, or evil as the most black-hearted villain. Make your city a bulwark against the forces of darkness, or a haven to shady characters round the world!

Games::Poker::TexasHoldem is an abstract state in a Holdem game.

SYNOPSIS

use Games::Poker::TexasHoldem;
my $game = Games::Poker::TexasHoldem->new(
players => [
{ name => "lathos", bankroll => 500 },
{ name => "MarcBeth", bankroll => 500 },
{ name => "Hectate", bankroll => 500 },
{ name => "RichardIII", bankroll => 500 },
],
button => "Hectate",
bet => 10,
limit => 50
);
$game->blinds; # Puts in both small and large blinds
print $game->pot; # 15

$game->call; # Hecate puts in 10
$game->bet_raise(15) # RichardIII sees the 10, raises another 5
...

This represents a game of Texas Holdem poker. It maintains the state of the pot, whos in to what amount, whos folded, what the bankrolls look like, and so on. Its meant to be used in conjunction with Games::Poker::OPP, but can be used stand-alone as well for analysis.

->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.

Virtual Console init is an /sbin/init clone for virtual consoles. It is very easy to set up and use because it has no configuration files.
It is very small and has builtin getty, login, klogd, and slogd. Virtual Console init is suitable for embedded systems and home Linux boxes.
This is a new kind of "init" that only works for the virtual console, so dont try it to login from a serial line. The idea is having a very simple init for home Linux systems (although it could work on other systems as well, who knows...), allowing for a simpler and cleaner configuration. It is useful too in embedded systems or tiny boot disks (maybe as a complement for "busybox"). In other words: it works for me, I use it and Im releasing it in the hope of it being useful for others.
The binary itself doesnt accept parameters, so lets go directly to the behaviour... It must be run by "root" and have PID 1, so dont try to run it yourself, it wont work... You should install it under "/sbin/init", and the kernel will run it automatically at boot.
Take into account that this "init" has both the "getty" and "login" parts built-in, not as separate binaries. This means that if you have a server or another binary which needs "/bin/login", it probably WONT WORK. The sysklog system (kernel logger and system logger, "klogd" and "slogd") are built-in, too. You dont need sysklogd or equivalent, unless you want some feature of them... In that case, you can disable the builtin system.
Enhancements:
- vcinit is now licensed under the GPLv2 only, and not necessarily any later version of the GPL.
