Free pacman software for linux

Kpacman project is the Pacman game for KDE.
Multiple game modes/schemes are available, including Ms. Pacman. Sound is not yet supported.
Enhancements:
- Almost a real KDE3 application.

Jacman project is a frontend for pacman software management software that comes with the equally excellent ArchLinux. Hopefully the "J" makes it obvious that this is a Java application.
Archs philosophy is to keep things simple and to keep the user in control. Generally, GUI based configuration tools were deemed "anti-Arch" as they tended to contradict the philosophy by concealing functionality.
Whilst developing Jacman, it has been a design goal to not break the philosophy, but inevitably it does. Whilst Jacman is only a front-end to pacman, it doesnt provide access to all of pacmans functionality.
However, there was a reason for that! I wanted Jacman to provide a visual window for only a subset of common tasks: installing, removing, updating and re-syncing. Some people may like this, as it allows people to quickly explore which packages are available.
Main features:
- installing new packages.
- updating installed packages.
- removing unwanted packages.
- rolling back packages to a previously installed version.

Arianne is a multiplayer online games framework and engine to develop turn based and real time games.

It provides a simple way of creating games on a portable and robust server architecture. The server is coded in Java and uses Python for your game description, provides a MySQL backend and uses an UDP transport channel to communicate with dozens of players.

Our reference client engines are coded using Java and the C language in order to achieve maximum portability.

Arianne has been in development since 1999 and has evolved from a tiny application written in pseudo-C++ to a powerful, expandable but simple server framework, running on the Java platform, and a portable client framework, written in bare C to allow total portability of ariannes clients. Ariannes server is totally client agnostic.

Since the beginning, the key concept at the heart of Ariannes development has been KISS: Keep it simple, stupid!

Arianne games are playable. It now hosts several games:

* a multiplayer Gladiators fighting game
* a multiplayer Pacman game

All our efforts are supported by ariannes server: Marauroa.

Marauroa is completely written in Java using a multithreaded server architecture with a UDP oriented network protocol, a MySQL based persistence engine and a flexible game system. The game system is totally expandable and modifiable by game developers and is able to run Python scripts defining the games rules.

Marauroa is based on a design philosophy we called Action/Perception. Each turn a perception is send to the clients explaining what they currently perceive. Clients can ask the server to perform any action in their name using actions. Marauroa is totally game agnostic and makes very little assumptions about what are you trying to do, allowing a great freedom to create any game type.

Bugs are facts of life, they just happen.

On Arianne we care about code quality so code is fully tested using Test Units with JUnit and cppunit, so all modules are tested for most common cases, allowing a better quality software to be deployed.

The name originated from the Greek name Ariadne. (Latin; Arianna and from French; Arianne). Ariadne is a famous character in Greek mythology. She was the daughter of King Minos of Crete and she was in love with Theseus, the Athenian hero who killed the Minotaur ( a half human, half bull creature).

Theseus married her, however, then later left her alone on the island of Naxos. Ariadne later married Dionisos the God of Wine. The name Ariadne originates from the ancient Greek words ari which means intelligent and adnis which means pure (as in a virgin). Hence, the daughters of the Romans and Greeks where often called by this name.

The Blue Mango Quest project is a 3D arcade game that aims to extend the Pacman gameplay.
The Blue Mango Quest is a 3D arcade game that uses OpenGL and SDL.
The goal is to extend the pacman-style gameplay in several ways. You see what the main character sees (like in traditional FPS games), and youll find about 20 items (bonus and malus) that will give you a lot of fun.
An easy to use yet powerfull 2D level editor is also provided.
Enhancements:
- doc/manuals/mangoquest.htm: updated Controls section
- src/maximap.cpp: change color of shmolluxes when if player can eat them (dark red and bright red)
- src/maximap.cpp: draw an arrow for player, that rotates with him
- src/menu_ingame.cpp: dont unpause game when we enter in options menu
- src/menu_skirmish.cpp: dont unload map from memory twice
- src/game_loop.cpp,src/config_file.cpp: added an "alternate_controls" option that make the player rotate with arrows keys and go sideways with ALT+arrow (same as in 0.6.0). Edit the config file to activate it.

KDirStat is a graphical disk usage utility, very much like the Unix "du" command.
KDirStat project displays a directory tree both in classical tree format (like Konqueror, but with accumulated tree sizes, shown as MB / GB and as percentage bars) and in "treemap" format like SequoiaView.
In addition to that, KDirStat provides cleanup facilities to reclaim disk space - both predefined and customizable.
Main features:
Display Features
- Graphical and numeric display of used disk space
- Files kept apart from directories in separate items to prevent cluttering the display
- All numbers displayed human readable - e.g., 34.4 MB instead of 36116381 Bytes
- Different colors in the directory tree display to keep the different tree levels visually apart
- Display of latest change time within an entire directory tree - you can easily see what object was changed last and when.
Treemap Display
- Treemap as alternate (auxiliary) view of a directory tree
- Easily find large in a directory tree: You see the entire tree at once. Large rectangles are large files - you can see them even if they are hidden somewhere deep within the tree.
- Treemap view slaved to the tree (list) view: Click on a file in the treemap, and it is selected in the tree view - and vice versa.
- Treemap tiles are colored by file type - all images in cyan, all audio tracks (MP3 etc.) in yellow, executables in magenta etc.; you can see from the color what a treemap rectangle is.
- Many treemap variants available:
- Plain treemap
- Squarified treemap (no thin elongated rectangles)
- Cushion treemap
- Colored treemap
- All combinations of the above
- Fast implementation: Treemap built in fractions of a second (on quite ordinary machines: Athlon-550 class)
- Treemap subwindow can be resized as the user prefers
- Treemap can be switched off with a single keypress (F9)
- Context menu with cleanup actions etc.
- Zoom the treemap in/out treemap with double click (left/right)
- Many treemap configuration options
Directory Reading
- Stays on one file system by default - reads mounted file systems only on request.
- You dont care about a mounted /usr file system if the root file system is full and you need to find out why in a hurry, nor do you want to scan everybodys home directory on the NFS server when your local disk is full.
- Network transparency: Scan FTP or Samba directories - or whatever else protocols KDE support.
- PacMan animation while directories are being read. OK, this is not exactly essential, but its fun.
Cleaning up
- Predefined cleanup actions: Easily delete a file or a directory tree, move it to the KDE trash bin, compress it to a .tar.bz2 archive or simply open a shell or a Konqueror window there.
- User-defined cleanup actions: Add your own cleanup commands or edit the existing ones.
- "Send mail to owner" report facility: Send a mail requesting the owner of a large directory tree to please clean up unused files.
Misc
- Feedback mail facility: Rate the program and tell the authors your opinion about it.
Whats New in 2.4.4 Release:
- Sparse files and hard links are now properly supported.
Whats New in 2.5.2 Release:
- Can now read and write directory contents from cache files generated by (supplied) Perl script, e.g. in cron job over night
