Free moon software for linux

Blue Moon project is a Blue Moon solitaire for Unix.
This 52-card solitaire starts with the entire deck shuffled and dealt out in four rows.
The aces are then moved to the left end of the layout, making 4 initial free spaces.
You may move to a space only the card that matches the left neighbor in suit, and is one greater in rank. Kings are high, so no cards may be placed to their right (they create dead spaces).
When no moves can be made, cards still out of sequence are reshuffled and dealt face up after the ends of the partial sequences, leaving a card space after each sequence, so that each row looks like a partial sequence followed by a space, followed by enough cards to make a row of 14.
A moments reflection will show that this game cannot take more than 13 deals.
A good score is 1-3 deals, 4-7 is average, 8 or more is poor.
Enhancements:
- Changes since the initial release have been in the packaging.

Moonlander is a space simulation game.

You must land with lander on the Moon, but you have limited fuel.

Landing is very hard, because you must land very very slow. Prees "B" to increase fuel.

Qonk project is a game I wrote to learn some SDL basics. The game is a small build-and-conquer strategy game with very simple rules. A complete game only lasts for a few minutes and can be a fun break away from work or whatever youre doing.
The setting of the game is a solar system of planets. Your goal is to conquer all of the planets in the game by sending ships there. Planets that are under your control generate new ships. Simple AI players are playing against you. As you gain more experience throughout the game, more AI players have to be kicked out of bigger solar systems.
The game is currently very much in beta. I published it however in order to see whether it compiles on other machines, and to see what reactions people had on its gameplay. The game engine itself is fully functional. A lot of things have to be added to make this a mature game (like menus and stuff), but since the engine itself works, Qonk is already very playable.
How to run
In order to change between levels, Qonk exits and parameters for the game and its level have to be entered from the command line. After a game, Qonk will tell you how to start Qonk again when exited. This is because Im too lazy to write a decent menu system (everyone who is interested, may add a menu system to the source), and only interested in hacking and tuning he game engine, its graphics and obviously, game play.
Rodolfo Borges provided a small shell script that helps starting the game, saving your current level, and moving to new levels automagically. You have to edit the file to change the path where you have installed Qonk before running it.
Qonk can be given two numeric parameters, the first denoting the number of planets in the solar system, the second gives the number of enemy AI players. Successive levels of the game are defined by two such parameters.
The first levels in the game are given by parameters (6 1), (7 2), (8 3), (9 4), (10 5), (10 6), (10 7), (10 8), (10 9), (11 10), (12 11), ... I managed to get to about (35 34) before I got bored with it and started over again. I have also managed to win a (100 99) game once. That was pretty hectic.
Although the game engine is prepared to run under different modes, the game always defaults to 1024x768 resolution, and goes into fullscreen modus to run qonk. (because of beta status)
How to play
You select ships and send them out to planets, to attack or fortify them. A ship that arrives at an enemy planet dies and kills an enemy ship, residing on that planet, along with it. If no enemy ships are based on the planet, you take over the planet. Planets under your control grow new ships for you to send around.
You control white planets and white ships. Colored planets belong to the opponent players. Gray planets are not controled by a player and can easily be conquered, once its resident neutral ships are destroyed (about 2-4 of them on each neutral planet).
There are two types of planets in the solar system. There are planets orbiting around the "sun" and moons orbiting around the planets. There are as many moons as planets in each solar system. Some planets may have more moons than others. A planet is expected to generate twice as many ships as a moon in the same amount of time. Some planets/moons build ships more quickly than others. Each ship also has a random speed.
Select ships by dragging your left mouse button. A ship can only be selected for an action if it resides on a planet. Use the right mouse button to send selected ships to the nearest planet to the mouse pointer. If you want to select all of the available ships, press A.
As you conquer more planets, more ships are built in parallel. Try to conquer as many planets as possible, so that many new ships are constructed and you can reign over the solar system.
There are some extra keys that can be used:
- While pressing E, the ships of enemy players are shown, so this is kind of a cheat button
- Press P to pause and unpause the game
- Press S to save a screenshot (screenshot.bmp) of the game

coords is a planetarium program. The project is still under construction, but it does a good job of showing the sky with stars and planets at the correct positions.

This version shows celestial objects from the Yale BSC and NGC2000 catalogs, planets from Mercury to Pluto, the Sun and the Moon.

All GUI parts have been written with GLib 2.12, GTK 2.8, Pango 1.14, and Cairo 1.4 (Debian Lenny libraries).

How to use it:

The GUI program:

- If you click in the sky map, you can move it with the arrow keys. Its a stereographic projection of the sky sphere, the up and down keys change the pitch and the left and right keys allow you to roll around the zenith. There are spin buttons too. Finally, the sky can also be moved by dragging the mouse on it.
- A spin button adjusts the zoom factor (Scale).
- A menu allows you to toggle the visibility of various things (equator, frames or grids, star names, ...)
- other stuff, i hope its intuitive

coordserver takes no argument. Currently, it can serve data in two modes. The first is a Right Ascent,Declination pair, given as two floating point numbers separated by a comma (option -c of coordclient). This is meant for machine
processing. The second mode is text.

coordclient can take up to 3 arguments. The first is the -c option (see above).

The next argument is the star name, which can be :

- a name
- an HR (Harvard Revised Catalog) number with 0 padding before the number if less than 4 digits
- a Bayer name (Alp Boo, Alp 1 Cen, Gam Per...)
- a Flamsteed name ( 1 Peg, with two blank spaces before the "1" because the number field is 3 characters long).

The next argument can be date in YYYY-MM-DD.DDDD format. If absent, the machine current date will be used.

Prima::Printer is a system printing services.

SYNOPSIS

my $printer = $::application-> get_printer;
print "printing to ", $printer->printer, "...n";
$p-> options( Orientation => Landscape, PaperSize => A4);
if ( $p-> begin_doc) {
$p-> bar( 0, 0, 100, 100);
print "another page...n";
$p-> new_page;
$p-> ellipse( 100, 100, 200, 200);
(time % 1) ? # depending on the moon phase, print it or cancel out
$p-> end_doc :
$p-> abort_doc;
} else {
print "failedn";
}

Prima::Printer is a descendant of Prima::Drawable class. It provides access to the system printing services, where available. If the system provides no graphics printing, the default PostScript (tm) interface module Prima::PS::Printer is used instead.

Xplns reproduces real starry sky on your display of X Window System. It calculates the position of many celestial objects (stars, galaxies, nebulae, constellations, planets, comets, etc.) very accurately.
You can enjoy the past and future sky on the desk top as if you have traveled all around the world. In solar system projection mode, you can examine motion of solar objects.
You can observe motion of the stars with tracking an object. The information display function let you know the rise, set and meridian time of solar objects, when dusk ends, when dawn starts, moon age, etc.
These functions are helpful for observing stars under the real sky. There are fourteen projection mode in xplns, "Horizontal View Mode", "Equatorial Mode", "Ecliptic Mode", "Galactic Mode", "Planisphere Mode" and "Solar System Mode".
Main features:
- Fourteen projection mode (Horizontal, Equatorial, Planisphere, Solar System, Planisphere mode, etc.).

M.U.L.E is a linux port of clone of old MULE for C64 & PC.

This is a Linux/SDL port of a MULE clone. For those unfamiliar, MULE is an early resource strategy game.

You play a colonist on the moon, you acquire territory, and decide how to use it, by either farming, mining ore, collecting solar energy or mining crystals.

You compete with 3 other players, most points at the end of a preset number of months wins.
