Free play free online games software for linux

Online Cardgame System project is a client-server system for playing card games over the net.
OCS is a client-server cardgame system, similar to those found at Yahoo! Games and elsewhere. The server is portable and has been tested under Linux, Win32, and several unix systems. We currently have Win32 and Java clients available, and a Qt client for Linux is in development.
Games are implemented as plugin modules, so new games can be added without recompiling the server. In addition, the client is written to be unaware of the mechanics of gameplay, so it can theoretically play any games the server supports without having to know how to play them specifically.
We currently have Euchre and Spades implemented, with bot support for both games, meaning you dont need a full 4 people to play a game. We plan on implementing more games in the future.
On a side note, development of this project tends to wax and wane with our motivation and amount of schoolwork.
Enhancements:
- Massive restructure of code into more object orientated patterns
- Added daemon capability to server
- Got rid of checksumming in the protocol since TCP/IP does it internally
- Padded STRINGS in the protocol on DWORD boundaries
- Added support for loadable account managers
- Removed crypting of the password by ocsd (account managers may do it)
- Added ODBC (for windows) and mySQL (for unix) account managers (database connectivity!!)
- Modified packet classes to throw exceptions instead of returning true-false
- Created packet manager classes to queue client packets, reduces total send calls
- Implemented bots when there arent enough people to play games
- Added new command line processing capabilities as well as configuration file support
- Fixed bug that allowed a person to overwrite an account when creating that same account
- Win32 - Made server link with DLL runtime library to reduce executable size and ease DLL dependencies
- Updated messages to be sent in HTML since the main clients support it
- Created Java client which can be run as an application or as an applet
- After a client is booted from a game, they cannot join the game again until they receive an invitation
- Fixed libtidy bug which caused it to erroneously format HTML
- Euchre supports intelligent bots
- Spades supports moronic bots (the AI is horrible but allows for gameplay)
- Fixed Spades textual problem when a round was over.
- Fixed Spades score calculation that resulted in no loss of points
- Win32 client now supports HTML (IE4+ required)
- Win32 client can now join games by right-clicking on an empty game slot in the game view.
- Fixed major bug in Win32 client that would cause it to crash when sending private messages
- Win32 client can now use /msg to send private messages

Sloth Online RPG is aJava Online RPG with Real-Time Action and rich 2D graphics.

Sloth Online RPG is a work in progress that will provide a fully graphical online role playing game engine. SlothORPG is coded in Java and is currently in a near playable state featuring several classes with over a thousand lines of code.

My main intentions with this project are to provide a free, fully functional, ever expanding Role Playing Engine (both client and server side) for the end user who would be playing the game. Developers would also be able to use the project as a resource on certain aspects of Java Game Programming.

Server side the project implements the NIO Networking library to create a smoother, stronger tcp/ip core. I found UDP and TCP w/ the old IO library to be unreliable and sluggish respectively. The way in which the server is structured has proven to be strong thus far.

The client side of the code features the Graphics2D Java library to provide near perfect animation without requiring a rendering device such as OpenGL or DirectX.

To summarize my entire intent for this project I basically wanted to provide an Online RPG that is functional on almost any OS that has Java installed and can run just as smooth on low end machines while still being able to feature rich 2-D graphics. The source code is clean and neat as well as commented and organized.

It is easy to read and understand for someone who has some knowledge of Java. As I write this, the project is coming along nicely and some pre-alpha local network testing has proven this. I plan to continue with this project and in the future include database integration and more of a developer-side interface.

A quick rundown of what this project includes so far: Character Creation, Smooth character animation, and fully supported tcp/ip gameplay. Chatting is also implemented.

Wolvix is a GNU/Linux LiveCD built from SLAX. Wolvix is a desktop oriented distribution made to fit the needs from regular to advanced desktop users.

Along with the applications youll get some of the best free Linux games. (No 3D gfx card required).

Games Edition features over 50 games in different categories, four emulators and quite a few desktop applications.

You wont find World of Warcraft or Half-Life 2 on the CD, but Ive tried to include some of the finest free Linux games and I think there should be a game or two for most people, Ive even added dopewars for your grandma.

None of the games require 3D drivers, so you should be able to play most games on any graphics card
