Save The Penguins is a crazy space shooter with penguins and flying saucers.
This is inspired by "Save The Gweeks" for the Archimedes, in which you saved the gweeks from the snerds. I havent had access to the original, so how close it is I couldnt say.
You control this sphere/circle/whatever with the mouse. Left click to acellerate towards the cursor. Right click to fire lasers. Middle click to pause. Esc to Quit.
The idea is to kill the space ships before they either kill you or all the penguins.
The art for the penguins came from Pingus, the tileset was ripped from supertux.
If anyone would like to contribute levels/art/sound that would be cool.
Main features:
- Scrolling, moving and shooting.
- Tileset defined in simple configuration file
- Loading/Saving level to file with in-game level editor (press E).
- Objects (that is, non-static ones) get damaged when you hit them. The penguins explode in a pile of blood.
- Reasonable collision detection - you have to at least try to get it stuck.
- NEW!! Nice particle-based explosions. Saves me both needing a graphic for it, and it looks pretty cool
- NEW!! Powerups. Dont do much atm. One heals you, the other two hurt you by different amounts. Theres a hook to attach a sound to powerup/powerdown for when I get round to it.

Scum of the Universe is a space trading game that combines two genres: arcade and strategy. On one side, its a classic vertical-scrolling space shooter game. On the other side, it is an adventure and strategy. You should choose whether youll be an independent space trader, firearms smuggler, fierce freedom-fighter or something in between.

Following the main storyline, you go through the galaxy from one planet to another. Space travel requires fuel, so you need to keep earning money to buy it. You can also buy various upgrades for your spaceship and weapons that affect the arcade part of the game. The storyline itself is not linear. There are also some points where youll need to make decisions that will determine your destiny.

For thousands of years, people of planet Xen have colonized the planets in their galaxy. As time went by, many colonies grew unhappy about their status, as everything was controlled by Xen. Some of them organized military units and declared independence. You can see the status of each planet by "Rebel Sentiment" indicator. Planets with RS higher than 50% are ruled by the Rebel government, and Rebel laws apply.

Trading firearms is legal on planets ruled by Rebels, as they need as much firepower as they can get. On the other hand, Empire forbid all the trading with firearms and other ground weaponry as they wish to maintain their military advantage. One of the ways to make a lot of money is to buy cheap guns at Empire planets and sell them for a lot of money on Rebel planets where demand is extremely high. But be careful as youll need to fight Empire fleet once they find out youre a smuggler.

Beside the raging war between Xen Empire and the rebels there is increased activity of alien species, who destroy human ships. The stronger alien activity, the more waves of alien ships youll need to defeat in each planets outer orbit. Some of the aliens you destroy may drop artifacts (big blue ones) which you can sell at any space station for 20credits a piece.

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.

Penguin Greetings is a Perl Web-based greeting card application. Penguin Greetings is two products wrapped into one. Penguin Greetings is an engine for handling web "ecards." It is also a collection of 200 cards that can be quickly and easily installed into any server for an immediate ecards solution. In addition, another 24 card images are included separately in the Penguin Greetings - Four Seasons collection and another 16 note card images are now included in the Penguin Greetings - Savoring the sights of Seattle Collection. The cards are photo-based and are similar in style and taste to Apples iCards content. To see the complete Penguin Greetings solution, go to the demonstration page.
The Penguin Greetings (pgreet) engine is a web-based greeting cards for LINUX and other UNIX-based systems written in Perl. Penguin Greetings is template-based and shifts ecards to be more like email instead of web-only objects. For flexibility and security, a separate daemon works with the emails and stores data permanently on the server.
Main features:
- Supports any number of ecard sites running on the same server. Each site is independent with its own configuration, database files, and HTML content. Localization/Internationalization is supported so that secondary ecard sites can be used to support multiple languages and regions. User ecard sites are supported.
- Customizable HTML templates for both the ecards and creation screens so that the web content is completely independent of the Perl program. Perl content is embedded using Embperl or now HTML::Mason so that the full power of Perl is available to content developers and for server-side processing. Object-oriented ecard sites can be created using Embperl::Object or Mason. At the same time, creating templates does not require any specific knowledge of Perl. Using Embperl or Mason, it is possible to build complicated ecard sites as demonstrated by the Penguin Greetings - California Poppy Collection. or the Penguin Greetings - Savoring the sights of Seattle Collection
- Support for a persistent Perl interpreter via SpeedyCGI for robust performance under production loads. Configuration and state information is cached in memory for improved performance under SpeedyCGI. Retains support for standard CGI for portability.
- Greeting cards that function more like email. The announcement of the card includes the text of the card so that the recipient can reply to the message. The email of the author is included in the email reply-to field so that recipients can reply to the ecard using the reply feature of most email clients.
- Uses MIME multipart HTML formatted email to directly send complete ecards to recipients.
- Automated installation procedure, including: the installation of CPAN modules not included in Perl 5.8.0, localization of configuration files, and installation of applications, configuration files, and a default ecard website.
- Access to card creation can be limited to users stored in an htpasswd file on server for sites which want to have ecards available only to a particular group of people.
- A separate application daemon to handle such chores as: card scheduling for emailing on a particular date, purging of old cards after a certain date, and backup database files.
- A user agent separate from the user ID which the web server runs as for mailing and storing of data. If desired, ecards can be emailed under existing email accounts on server. Specific human users on the server can be given access to this feature via an access control list.
- Extensive configuration options. Including the location of configuration and data files, performance tuning, and content parameters.
- Based on standard Perl CPAN modules for portability and reliability.
- Extensive logging of daemon activities.
- Six secondary demonstrations sites included with the distribution, Five of which exist in both English and French as examples of internationalization. Four use Embperl::Object to demonstrate object-oriented website building techniques and one uses HTML::Mason.
