Free play game software for linux

Life is not your average two-player game. You and the computer work together, with you making decisions, and the computer doing calculations.
You define a board pattern and then watch as the computer projects future generations of this pattern based on rules for growth and decay. Even with some of the most trivial initial patterns, you can obtain results that are both beautiful and intriguing.

Requirements:

• Java 1.4 or later

Custom Strategy Role Playing Game project is an engine for creating strategy role-playing games.
Two players confront two parties of characters (which have RPG attributes: job, level, exp, skills, etc.) over a battlefield, and the surviving party wins.
Jobs, skills, etc. are stored in XML custom files. It has a combat style similar to Final Fantasy Tactics and Shining Force.
Enhancements:
- Custom effects for skils.
- New contender attribute managing is working now.
- New skill types and skill capabilities (as enable at a certain level).
- Contenders final attributes can now depend on skills.
- Jobs have now a basic bonus and a level bonus (which depends on
- contenders level).
- Partial code rewriting for some old features.

Game::Life - Plays Conways Game of Life.

SYNOPSIS

use Game::Life;
my $game = new Game::Life( 20 );
my $starting = [
[ 1, 1, 1 ],
[ 1, 0, 0 ],
[ 0, 1, 0 ]
];

$game->place_points( 10, 10, $starting );
for (1..20) {
my $grid = $game->get_grid();
foreach ( @$grid ) {
print map { $_ ? X : . } @$_;
print "n";
}
print "nn";
$game->process();
}

Conways Game of Life is a basic example of finding living patterns in rather basic rulesets (see NOTES). The Game of Life takes place on a 2-D rectangular grid, with each grid point being either alive or dead. If a living grid point has 2 or 3 neighbors within the surrounding 8 points, the point will remain alive in the next generation; any fewer or more will kill it. A dead grid point will become alive if there are exactly 3 living neighbors to it. With these simple rules, fascinating structures such as gliders that move across the grid, glider guns that generate these gliders, XOR gates, and others have been found.

This module simply provides a way to simulate the Game of Life in Perl.

In terms of coordinate systems as used in place_points, toggle_point and other functions, the first coodinate is the vertical direction, 0 being the top of the board, and the second is the horizontal direaction, 0 being the left side of the board. Thus, toggling the point of (3,2) will switch the state of the point in the 4th row and 3rd column.

The edges of the board are currently set as "flat"; cells on the edge do not have any neighbors, and thus will fall off the board. Future versions may allow for warp edges (if a cell moves off the left side it reappears on the right side).
