Rigs of Rods is a truck simulator based on soft body physics.
Rigs of Rods is a simulation game based on a custom advanced soft body physics engine.
In a vast open world, you can drive trucks, control cranes and fly airplanes. The chassis and wheels deform according to the stress they bear, and crashes are interesting to see too!
The linux version is still a release candidate under compatibility testing.
The main issue is that it is compiled with a GCC 4.1.1 compiler, and there are many incompatible C++ ABI out there. So it will probably work on a gcc 4.1.1 system, and break on a gcc 3.4 or 3.6 system. I dont know if there is an easy fix to that. Be aware that upgrading your gcc may break badly your system if not done correctly, so do it at your own risk.
Also, if you see the config box, but the game crashes, check the sanity of your GLX system first (test with another GLX program) because it breaks easily. It works with NVidia drivers, but I have not tested the ATI ones.
Read the README.LINUX file for more important informations.
Enhancements:
- Boats, with a small wahoo, a Class 1 speedboat contributed by cdquicksilver, and a very large high sea tug, the Smit Rotterdam, that has a rollable platform.
- A new terrain, called "island", that is still under construction but that will soon replace the two classic RoR terrains, because they are not realistic islands.
- Infinite sea with waves. Take the Smit and sail far from the island: you will encounter high swells offshore. You can even configure the wave fields (see the datawavefield.cfg file).
- A separate configurator program. Now you must start the RoRconfig program first, to choose your configuration options, save them, then start RoR.
- Serious bugfixing: camera shaking has been dramatically reduced, and the "crash on plane crash" problem is mostly eliminated.
- Addition of the Challenger car contributed by hemicuda.

Secret of Eternia project is a 2D RPG using ClanLib.
The eaisest way to get started is to use an example map from the game itself. Open up (File-Open) the first map in the maps/ folder (maps/1.fmp). You will notice that the map looks exactly like the first screen of the game demo!
You will notice the screen is divided into 2 main sections. The larger section is the preview of the map you are working on. The left side menu is a listing of all avaliable blocks that you currently have in the map. You can click on a block to set it as your current brush. This is similar to choosing a paint color in a paint program. Once you select a block, you can then edit the map by clicking in the map area. This is the generic way to edit the map.
Play around with this map to create some different landscapes and such using many blocks. You can even save the map and start up SoE to see your changes! (Make sure you have a backup of the original map, or you will have to download the game again).
Enhancements:
- Bug fixes! See the forum for detailed information.
- Lua support is added in. (see docs/ for how to use this)
- Lighting effects are here!
- Fully Working Windows Support
