Free number games software for linux

number is a perl script that will print the English name of a number. One can print names of extremely large numbers (e.g. 1e1234567). Number can be run on the command line, or as a CGI script when run as number.cgi.

Number prints names in both the American and European naming system. It can also print the decimal expansion of a number in either naming system.

Davids Perl Games project is a collection of ASCII graphics arcade style games written in Perl.

These games are recreations of simple ASCII graphics games originally written in BASIC.

They are ideal for use as Perl programming tutorials. Some of the first few games are PerlBlaster (defend your planet from invading aliens), PerlRacer (steer your car through the twisting passages), and PerlArena (eliminate the mutant hordes).

Number::Phone::IE is a Perl module with Republic of Ireland-specific methods for Number::Phone.
SYNOPSIS
use Number::Phone;
$dermots_phone = Number::Phone->new(IE, 017654321);
METHODS
The following methods from Number::Phone are overridden:
is_valid
The number is valid within the national numbering scheme. It may or may not yet be allocated, or it may be reserved. Any number which returns true for any of the following methods will also be valid.
is_allocated
The number has been allocated to a telco for use. It may or may not yet be in use or may be reserved. Not currently implemented.
is_geographic
The number refers to a geographic area.
is_fixed_line
The number, when in use, can only refer to a fixed line.
is_mobile
The number, when in use, can only refer to a mobile phone.
is_pager
The number, when in use, can only refer to a pager.
is_tollfree

country_code
Returns 353.
regulator
Returns some text in an appropriate character set saying who the telecoms regulator is, with optional details such as their web site or phone number.
areacode
Return the area code - if applicable - for the number. If not applicable, returns undef.
areaname

NYI
Version restrictions:
- Strictly sppeaking, this kind of duplication of the Number::Phone::UK class is bad. A tidy-up is in order, though it may emerge that a completely new implemantation is better.
- The results are only as accurate as my own investigations into current allocations. User feedback welcome.
- While the names of the nominal owners of mobile prefixes are given, number portability makes this information unreliable.

Games::Dice is a Perl module that can be used to simulate dice rolls.

SYNOPSIS

use Games::Dice roll;
$strength = roll 3d6+1;

use Games::Dice roll_array;
@rolls = roll_array 4d8;

Games::Dice simulates die rolls. It uses a function-oriented (not object-oriented) interface. No functions are exported by default. At present, there are two functions which are exportable: roll and roll_array. The latter is used internally by roll, but can also be exported by itself.

The number and type of dice to roll is given in a style which should be familiar to players of popular role-playing games: adb[+-*/b]c. a is optional and defaults to 1; it gives the number of dice to roll. b indicates the number of sides to each die; the most common, cube-shaped die is thus a d6. % can be used instead of 100 for b; hence, rolling 2d% and 2d100 is equivalent. roll simulates a rolls of b-sided dice and adds together the results.

The optional end, consisting of one of +-*/b and a number c, can modify the sum of the individual dice. +-*/ are similar in that they take the sum of the rolls and add or subtract c, or multiply or divide the sum by c. (x can also be used instead of *.) Hence, 1d6+2 gives a number in the range 3..8, and 2d4*10 gives a number in the range 20..80. (Using / truncates the result to an int after dividing.) Using b in this slot is a little different: its short for "best" and indicates "roll a number of dice, but add together only the best few". For example, 5d6b3 rolls five six- sided dice and adds together the three best rolls. This is sometimes used, for example, in roll-playing to give higher averages.

Generally, roll probably provides the nicer interface, since it does the adding up itself. However, in some situations one may wish to process the individual rolls (for example, I am told that in the game Feng Shui, the number of dice to be rolled cannot be determined in advance but depends on whether any 6s were rolled); in such a case, one can use roll_array to return an array of values, which can then be examined or processed in an application-dependent manner.

This having been said, comments and additions (especially if accompanied by code!) to Games::Dice are welcome. So, using the above example, if anyone wishes to contribute a function along the lines of roll_feng_shui to become part of Games::Dice (or to support any other style of die rolling), you can contribute it to the authors address, listed below.

Games::Cards is a Perl module for writing and playing card games.

SYNOPSIS

use Games::Cards;
my $Rummy = new Games::Cards::Game;

# Create the correct deck for a game of Rummy.
my $Deck = new Games::Cards::Deck ($Rummy, "Deck");

# shuffle the deck and create the discard pile
$Deck->shuffle;
my $Discard = new Games::Cards::Queue "Discard Pile";

# Deal out the hands
foreach my $i (1 .. 3) {
my $hand = new Games::Cards::Hand "Player $i" ;
$Deck->give_cards($hand, 7);
$hand->sort_by_value;
push @Hands, $hand;
}

# print hands (e.g. "Player 1: AS 2C 3C 3H 10D QS KH")
foreach (@Hands) { print ($_->print("short"), "n") }

$Hands[1]->give_a_card ($Discard, "8D"); # discard 8 of diamonds

This module creates objects and methods to allow easier programming of card games in Perl. It allows you to do things like create decks of cards, have piles of cards, hands, and other sets of cards, turn cards face-up or face-down, and move cards from one set to another. Which is pretty much all you need for most card games.

Games::Chess Perl module represent chess positions and games.

SYNOPSIS

use Games::Chess qw(:constants);
my $p = Games::Chess::Position->new;
$p->at(0,0,BLACK,ROOK);
$p->at(7,7,WHITE,ROOK);
print $p->to_text;

The Games::Chess package provides the class Games::Chess::Piece to represent chess pieces, and the class Games::Chess::Position to represent a position in a chess game. Objects can be instantiated from data in standard formats and exported to these formats.

NOTATION

See Games::Chess::PGN for full details of the notations.

SAN

Standard Algebraic Notation. The modern international notation for chess games. For example,

1. e4 e5
2. f4 exf4
3. Nf3 g5

FEN

Forsythe-Edwards Notation. A compact representation for chess positions. FEN specifies the piece placement, the active color, the castling availability, the en passant target square, the halfmove clock, and the fullmove number as six fields separated by spaces. For example, the opening position is described in FEN as follows:

rnbqkbnr/pppppppp/8/8/8/8/PPPPPPPP/RNBQKBNR w KQkq - 0 1

PGN

Portable Game Notation. A notation for chess games, including the moves, commentary, variations, and metadata such as the players, the event, the round number, and the date of the match. For example,

[Event "F/S Return Match"]
[Site "Belgrade, Serbia JUG"]
[Date "1992.11.04"]
[Round "29"]
[White "Fischer, Robert J."]
[Black "Spassky, Boris V."]
[Result "1/2-1/2"]

EPD

Extended Position Description. An extensible notation based on FEN. Intended for data interchange between chess-playing programs and for the construction of opening databases. Not used by Games::Chess.
