Heart of The Alien Redux project is a complete rewrite of game Heart of The Alien.

This game was rewritten modern computers and consoles.

Heart of The Alien is the sequel for the undoubtably the best adventure of all times, Another World. Developed back in 1994 by Interplay exclusively for the Sega CD console.

This is an open-source project which aims to bring this highly-addictive game to all modern consoles and computer platforms.

The Ace of Penguins is a set of Unix/X solitaire games based on the ones available for Windows(tm) but with a number of enhancements that my wife says make my versions better.

The latest version includes clones of freecell, golf, mastermind, merlin, minesweeper, pegged, solitaire, taipei (with editor!), and thornq (by Martin Thornquist).

Installation:

To install the binaries tar, do this as user root (other platforms are similar):

cd /usr/bin/X11
tar xvfz /tmp/ace-1.2.linux.tar.gz
tar cf - libcards.so* | (cd /usr/local/lib ; tar xf -)
rm libcards.so*

You will need to run ldconfig to notice the new shared libraries.

Then you can open a new shell window and type the name of the program you want at the command line to run it.

Memories of Mordor project is a light multi-level game with its own OO gaming library.
Memories of Mordor is a light, 2D multi-level game that contains its own easy-to-use and extend OO Java game programming library. It has no dependencies on other libraries.
You are entering Mordor, a land filled with horridish Orcs and other evilly creatures and characters, hungry for human blood. A land whose dark memories will haunt you for many lives to come.
The long journey from the Shire has exhausted you. The ring weighs you down.
You must find the way through, if you wish to succeed in saving Middle Earth. You must battle the creatures using whatever weapons you find around you.
Enhancements:
- Blood on tiles and dead bodies were blocking gun fire.

Virtual Ring Buffer (VRB) is an implementation of a character FIFO ring buffer. Virtual Ring Buffer provides direct access to the buffer so the calling program can construct output data in place, or parse input data in place, without the extra step of copying data to or from a calling program provided buffer area.
In order to facilitate this direct access, VRB makes sure that all references to buffer locations for either output or input is always a single contiguous block of memory so that the calling program does not have to deal with split buffer spaces every time the cycling of data reaches the end of the buffer and wraps around to the beginning.
Thus, the calling program is free to use any number of tools available which do not have to be aware that they are operating directly in a ring buffer. In the latest version, VRB also provides a buffer overflow protection mechanism so that buffer overflow bugs force the program to be trapped by the operating system if accessed pointers wander beyond the range of address space managed by VRB. This feature can be disabled if desired, since it occupies 2 extra pages of address space.
VRB does all this without adding any copying overhead of its own. This ability is achieved by placing a mirror image memory map immediately after the buffer that is a reference to exactly the same memory as the buffer itself. Thus a reference to the memory location immediately past the last location in the buffer accesses the same physical RAM as the beginning of the buffer.
Thus a pointer near the end of the buffer that has a length that would otherwise have to wrap around will instead extend into the mirror image space to get the same result, but without any special handling by the program.
Installation:
First extract the source where you wish to store it. One of these commands might be used within the desired directory after the tar files has been downloaded there:
bunzip2 < vrb-0.5.0.tar.bz2 | tar -xpf -
gunzip < vrb-0.5.0.tar.gz | tar -xpf -
A subdirectory called vrb-0.5.0 is created. Execute these command to change into that directory and compile the source (changing the prefix if desired):
cd vrb-0.5.0
./Configure --prefix=/usr/local
make clean
make install
Note that unlike most other source packages using a configuration system, the configure command name is capitalized. The above commands will not install the man pages at this time. To install the man pages, simply copy them to the desired location, such as:
cp -p vrb/man/man3/*.3 /usr/local/man/man3
Usage:
VRBs basic approach designed into its API is that the calling program asks for the address and length of either the empty space where output data can be placed, or the data space where input data is present (previously placed there). These steps are implemented by macros for maximum speed, and are separate for address and length. The calling program then accesses that data directly in the buffer via that address (and length).
Once the data handling is complete, the calling program decides how much of that data it has inserted into empty space, or taken from data space, and calls VRB functions to indicate the which, which updates pointers (but does not copy any data). There are also functions available to assist in doing read/write I/O. Once the man pages are installed, the command man vrb is the starting point.
Enhancements:
- A vrb_empty function was added.
- Dead code in vrb_take was cleaned up.
- A poll loop was implemented in vbuf. vbuf now uses getopt.
- Buffer size calculation and data type/format were fixed in vbuf.
