Free penguins game software for linux

Ever wanted cute little penguins walking along the tops of your windows? Ever wanted to send an army of cute little penguins to invade the screen of someone else on your network? Probably not, but why not try this program out anyway - its free (licensed under the GNU GPL).
Xpenguins makes cute little penguins fall from the top of your screen and walk on the top of your windows under X11.
You need something that runs the X Window System (Linux, Unix etc), and have the ubiquitous XPM library installed.
Enhancements:
- The squish option: kill toons with your mouse!
- The themes Bill (images from XBill) and Big Penguins.
- The ability to run several themes simultaneously.
- Redraws erased desktop icons.

The XPenguins GNOME Applet allows you to fill your screen with penguins at the click of a button, as well as being able to change their number and speed on the fly.

You must install the basic XPenguins package first.

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.

The Ace of Penguins project is a X11 solitaire card games.

This package includes freecell, golf, mastermind, merlin, minesweeper, pegged, solitaire, taipei, and thornq, plus a solitaire toolkit so that you can write your own games.

These games are modelled after the Windows(tm) versions, with several enhancements, including a more colorful "Linux-y" theme.

Pizza Game project is a 3D, real-time game in which you manage a pizza restaurant.
As manager, you must build a restaurant, buy the various objects and furniture that the restaurant requires, hire/fire/manage your employees, buy advertising, buy ingredients, set prices, and make sure your restaurant keeps your customers happy.
You start out with nothing more than an empty lot and a loan. Will you transform that lot into a thriving pizza business or fail to attract customers and watch your debt pile up?
Main features:
- Build your restaurant by placing walls, putting in doorways, installing windows.
- Decorate your restaurant by choosing from numerous paint colors and wallpaper designs.
- Put in tiles for your floors by choosing from a large selection of colors and designs.
- Buy the items and objects that your restaurant needs: tables, chairs, ovens, lights, and various miscellaneous objects that can make your restaurant the pizza parlor of choice for customers.
- Hire (and fire) the right employees that will perform the necessary tasks for running a pizza restaurant.
- Manage advertising for your pizza business.
- Buy the necessary ingredients for making pizzas and selling money-making side orders.
- Choose the opening and closing times for your restaurant in order to have your restaurant operate most efficiently.
Linux users: if you downloaded the binary version, and get an error when attempting to run the game that is related to Plugin_GuiElements.so, perform the following steps to remedy it:
1) create an OGRE subdirectory in /usr/lib
2) copy the Plugin_GuiElements.so in the libs subdirectory in the pizzagame directory to the OGRE subdirectory you just created

3D Python OpenGL Chess Game project is a 3D chess game in Python with OpenGL.

3D Python OpenGL Chess Game is a normal chess game that has no computer player (yet). You can play against a friend on your PC.

Transcend Game project is a retro-style, abstract, collage-building, musical, shooter game.
The graphics are geometrical, and the pace is sometimes frenzied. Two features set Transcend apart from other games.
First, its dynamic graphical engine, which can smoothly morph from one complex shape to another in realtime, produces striking displays.
Combining these dynamic shapes with subtle randomizations ensures that each new play through a level is visually different from the last.
The second novel feature is the musical power-up system.
As you play through a level, you are simultaneously assembling an abstract visual collage and arranging a unique piece of music.
Enhancements:
- Fixed bugs that caused post-explosion fade factors to become negative, which in turn caused boss explosions to linger on some platforms.
- Fixed zoom behavior when strafing.
- Added fade-in when enemies are created to avoid a visual pop-in.
- Added smooth turning when enemies switch targets.
- Changed so that pieces can be picked up while they are moving as a result of enemy fire. This makes pick up less confusing and frustrating.
- Made bullet fade-out smoothly at end of range to avoid visual pop.
- Doubled piece pick-up radius to make picking up pieces easier.
- Fixed jerky piece pick-up and drop.
- Added mini-explosion graphics to indicate when damage is being done to boss. These graphics also change color to indicate the boss health.

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.
