Free invaders software for linux

nInvaders project is a Space Invaders clone for ncurses.
Ever wanted to play space invaders when you cant find a GUI? Now you can!
Enhancements:
- added timer - now playable under irix, windows, some redhat-versions
- added title-screen
- removed bug: shooting last alien sometimes freezed game

ascii-invaders project is a clone of Space Invaders which uses the curses library.
t compiles and runs on MacOS X, GNU/Linux and probably any other system with a curses implementation. I tried to reproduce the way the aliens move in the real game (which you can play on the MAME emulator on a modern computer system). It looks better than it plays however.
I wrote it some time ago in a fit of the-way-computers-were-nostalgia. Perhaps Ill have a go at insulting another classic game in the same way soon.
While writing the game I was inspired to write a deranged rant about the joy of terminals, command lines, Unix, curses and vi.
If you need to change Ascii Invaders to build it on another platform, Id be grateful for patch or instructions so I can include them. Likewise, fixes and improvements to the ascii-art or the code are very welcome. Id also love to hear whether its actually usable on a real serial terminal :-)
Enhancements:
- fixed time() call

Triplex Invaders is a classic Alien Invaders style game with 3d graphics.

In Triplex Invaders, the player pilots a spaceship against never ending hoards of enemy ships. It has psychedelic 3d graphics (but 2d gameplay).

It is written in Python so it should run on Linux, Windows, and OSX. pyOpenGL is used for hardware-accelerated OpenGL graphics. PyGame is used for getting input and stuff. Because Python is a little slow (and my code is unoptimized), you might get low framerates on older computers. Nonetheless, my 1.8Ghz Pentium M laptop is more than fast enough. It doesnt tax the GPU much (but you do need hardware graphics acceleration). If you have psyco installed, Invaders will take advantage of it and run a little faster.

Features include: Motion blur, Particle effects, Randomly generated weapons/enemies.
Triplex Invaders was originally written by three freshmen for the CS102 class at Johns Hopkins University. I (Arthur Danskin) am still working on it.

Please feel free to contribute anything cool. Models are in wavefront .obj format. The code is very object oriented and modular, so it should be very easy to add a new weapon or enemy type (if you know python).

Invasion 3D is a fun and addictive 3D arcade game!
The idea for Invasion 3D came during the summer of 2004, when I was working in New Jersey. I had been playing a lot of old arcade games on the MAME arcade emulator.
I had fun playing the original Taito Space Invaders game, but I was frustrated with the inability to shoot more than a single bullet at once with this game. I decided it would be fun to play a modern, 3-D version of Space Invaders with some serious weapons which would allow for massive alien destruction, as it should be.
At first I thought of using my Jax3D engine to render this game, but in the end I decided to learn something new and use OpenGL. I got started by looking at NeHes OpenGL Tutorials and wrote this game in my spare time during April and May of 2005.
Main features:
- Realistic physics simulation
- Challenging and fun gameplay
- Stunning visual effects
- Multiple weapons
- Massive Destruction
- Hidden bonuses
- 20 Waves with over 2,000 invaders
- Both Windows and Linux versions
- Free to Distribute to Anyone!

UFO: Alien Invasion is a 3D UFO-inspired tactical game.
UFO: ALIEN INVASION is a strategy game featuring tactical combat against hostile alien forces which are about to infiltrate earth at this very moment. You are in command of a small special unit which has been founded to face the alien strike force.
To be successful on the long run, you will also have to have a research team study the aliens and their technologies in order to learn as much as possible about their technology, their goals and the aliens themselves.
UFO: Alien Invasion is heavily inspired by the X-COM series by Mythos and Microprose. The first game of the series, UFO DEFENSE, became a classic and, in our honest opinion, is one of the best games ever made.
UFO: Alien Invasion is neither a sequel nor a remake of UFO DEFENSE - we simply had the urge to create a similar strategy game, which will hopefully be as entertaining as the original was for the players (and for the developers, of course). Join the IRC-Channel at irc.freenode.org named #ufo:ai and contribute to the developing process.
Gameplay:
The game is turn-based. Well, this might sound somewhat old school now, but trust us: turn-based games are fun!
Each member of your squad has a limited number so called "time units" each round, which are consumed when you order the unit to walk, to fire a weapon or to perform any of the other miscellaneous actions. When all your forces are out of time units, the aliens turn starts. In addition to eliminating as many enemies as possible, your mission is to minimize civilian casualties as well as to acquire parts of the advanced alien technology.
Once youve acquired sufficient samples of the unknown technology, your research labs will be able to reproduce the alien weapons and devices in order to use them against their original creators.
Game Engine:
The game engine is based on a heavily modified version of IDs Quake2 Engine. This doesnt imply that UFO: Alien Invasion is a mod or a total conversion at all! No, UFO: AI is a stand-alone game which doesnt require Quake2 or any similar program to run. Our self-developed game engine is featuring up-to-date OpenGL graphics and special effects, increased texture resolution, hardware accelerated clipping of map layers to toggle between floors, a new animation system for player models, a stunning AI and a few other gimmicks.
Multiplayer support:
You can play UFO: ALIEN INVASION with your friends via LAN or Internet. One player takes the role of the human special squad while the other is in control of the alien invaders. Co-op team play with multiple players on both sides is also supported for up to three teams on each side (6 players total).
Enhancements:
- Implemented sv_roundtimelimit cvar to set the maximum time a team has to finish their round in multiplayer.
- Completely rewritten saving and loading system.
- Finished implementation of Flashbang - now Flashbang will disable enemys reactionfire as well.
- Reintroduced employees renaming again.
- Hire menu and Team Select menu now shows Health bar as well.
- Heavily improved chat subsystem for multiplayer as well as Multiplayer Team Selection menu.
- Improved describing weapons and ammo in UFOpedia and other menus, including displaying firemodes.
- Added multiplayer server password protection.

Aliens project is a "slide at the bottom" shooting game written for the Agenda VR3 Linux-based PDA.
It is played with the Agenda held in a sideways position. The PgUp/PgDn buttons (on the side of the Agenda) move the ship left and right, and the Left or Right arrow buttons (on the front) are used for shooting.
Since its an X-Window program, it also runs on Linux and Unix desktops, and should be trivial to port to other Linux-based PDAs, like the iPaq or the Zaurus (running X-Window).
Main features:
- Two gameplay modes:
- "Swooping" - Similar to the arcade game "Galaxian." The aliens hang around at the top of the screen and occasionally swoop down to attack you.
- "Marching" - Similar to the arcade game "Space Invaders." The aliens march back and forth across the screen and come down towards you as a group.
- Built-in help
- Explains the gameplay, scoring, and controls
- Sound effects
- Buzzer-based sound effects
- Source included
- Aliens is an Open Source product, released under the GNU General Public License (GPL).
- Now part of Agenda!
- The folks from Agenda Computing liked it so much that it shipped with the Agenda VR3 PDA!

Kent Retargettable Occam Compiler is a multi-platform Occam 2.1 compiler that is designed to allow the Occam programming language to be used on non-Transputer platforms.
KRoC, the Kent Retargettable occam-pi Compiler, is a collection of programs/libraries which facilitates the execution of occam-pi programs on various platforms. The version on this page is only for i386 compatible processors running Linux (although it has been reported to work on FreeBSD systems too). The main components are:
- occ21, the Inmos occam compiler
- tranx86, a translator from extended transputer code (ETC) to intel i386 object code
- CCSP, the run-time kernel, providing the virtual transputer
Enhancements:
- The occSDL library has been added. Documentation errors have been fixed.
- There are minor bugfixes to the compiler, wrappers, and examples.
- New examples have been added, including the classic Adventure Game and Space Invaders.
