Free golly game software for linux

Golly project is an open source, cross-platform Game of Life simulator currently under development by Andrew Trevorrow and Tomas Rokicki.
Our goal is to write a world-class Life simulator, solicit ideas and help from the planets best Life hackers, and share some of our excitement.
Main features:
- Unbounded universe (limited only by memory).
- Fast, memory-efficient conventional algorithm.
- Super fast hashing algorithm for highly regular patterns.
- Responsive even while generating or garbage collecting.
- Reads RLE, Life 1.05/1.06, and macrocell formats.
- Can paste in patterns from the clipboard.
- Auto fit option keeps patterns sized to the window.
- Full screen option (no menu/status/tool/scroll bars).
- Built-in HTML help system (thanks to wxWidgets).
Enhancements:
- The X11 version of Golly has a number of bugs and limitations, so use the GTK version if you can (it requires GTK+ 2.x).
- If you want to build Golly from the source distribution then to avoid various bugs use wxGTK 2.7 or later.

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.

Gallipoli: The Game is a stunning recreation of Australias greatest military adventure. As a commander in the Great War (WWI), you take on the role of leading the prime of Australias armed forces as they launch an all-out assault on the Central Powers (the Germans, Austrians and the Ottomans).
Gameplay is similar to the hit PC game, Lemmings, except, instead of trying to save your soldiers, your mission, as an authentic WWI commander, is to wipe out as many diggers as possible ... the more gruesomely, the better!
Main features:
- Landing at Hell Spit (ANZAC cove)
- Russells Top
- The Sphinx
- Walkers Ridge
- The landing at Sulva Bay
- The third wave at the Nek
Enhancements:
- game much faster
- more options
- Battle of Pozyers level removed (no-one was playing it)

Custom Strategy Role Playing Game project is an engine for creating strategy role-playing games.
Two players confront two parties of characters (which have RPG attributes: job, level, exp, skills, etc.) over a battlefield, and the surviving party wins.
Jobs, skills, etc. are stored in XML custom files. It has a combat style similar to Final Fantasy Tactics and Shining Force.
Enhancements:
- Custom effects for skils.
- New contender attribute managing is working now.
- New skill types and skill capabilities (as enable at a certain level).
- Contenders final attributes can now depend on skills.
- Jobs have now a basic bonus and a level bonus (which depends on
- contenders level).
- Partial code rewriting for some old features.

The Linux Memory Game project is a childrens (and adults) game based on the card game.
The Linux Memory Game is an X11 game using GTK+ library for children ages 3 and up. It is a lot more than the card game "Memory".
It has five skill levels, the higher ones are challenging to adults as well. Additionally, one can choose from the menu to match 2 cards or 3 cards, or match different cards.
This last "different card" mode can be a very good teaching tool for teaching languages, concepts, or association.
Main features:
- Extensible - add new images yourself without having to make changes to the program.
- Five skill levels appropriate for the youngest and the ones with the best brains.
- Can play two card matching or three card matching (more challenging!)
- Can set to match different cards. This can be used with apropriately designed pictures to teach children (or adults) words, concepts, or another language.
Enhancements:
- Fixed overflow bug in pixmaps_jump.

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

Acquire is a computer version of the classic board game.
The goal of the game is to make the most profit by buying stocks in companies that form, merge and grow as tiles are placed on the game board.
This program is a text-based version of the game and should be playable on any system with a C++ compiler.
Enhancements:
- The main improvement of this release is that the bug causing the game to crash at the end was fixed, so you can now see who won.
- There were some other small bugfixes and changes.

Quarters Board Game project is a strategy game for two players.

Although its rules are relatively simple, it still offers some of the same opportunities for skill as in chess.

This program was originally conceived in the summer of 1986 during a study of the mini-max algorithm for chess playing computers, and was thus designed to offer some of the same type of strategies.

The game was originally written in BASIC, then ported to Turbo Pascal, then to C, and finally to Java.

The Java version is not necessarily object oriented, since it is a crude port from the C version.
