Free play games software for linux

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

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.

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

Games::Goban is a board for playing go, renju, othello, etc.

SYNOPSIS

use Games::Goban;
my $board = new Games::Goban (
size => 19,
game => "go",
white => "Seigen, Go",
black => "Minoru, Kitani",
referee => &Games::Goban::Rules::Go,
);

$board->move("pd"); $board->move("dd");
print $board->as_sgf;

This is a generic module for handling goban-based board games. Theoretically, it can be used to handle many of the other games which can use Smart Game Format (SGF) but I want to keep it reasonably restricted in order to keep it simple.

Games::PerlWar is a Perl variant of the classic Corewar game.

This is a sparring program, similar to the programmed reality of the Matrix.
It has the same basic rules, rules like gravity. What you must learn is that
these rules are no different than the rules of a computer system. Some of
them can be bent, others can be broken. - Morpheus

PerlWar is inspired by the classic http://www.corewar.info/|Corewar game. In this game, players pit snippets of Perl code (called agents) against each other in order to gain control of the vicious virtual battlefield known as... the Array.

GAME PARAMETERS

Size of the Array

The number of cells that the Array possesses. Each cell can hold one agent.

Agent Maximal Size

The maximal length, in characters, of an agent. If an agent is or becomes larger than this limit, it automatically segfaults upon execution.

Game Maximal Number of Iterations

The maximal number of rounds that can be played before a game is declared over.
