Free first person software for linux

CopyFS aims to solve a common problem : given a directory, especially one full of configuration files, or other files that one can modify, and which can affect the functionning of a system, or of programs, that may be important to other users (or to the user himself), how to be sure that a person modifying the files will do a backup of the working version first ?

This filesystem solves the problem by making the whole process transparent, automatically keeping versionned copies of all the changes done to file under its control.

It also allows a user to select an old version of the files, for example to repair a mistake, and allows him/her to continue edition from this point.

ClockChecker is a multiple clock software, to help playing for example board games. This (very simple) software alows you to control the played time for every player and put a time limit for each person. It is inspired from the chess clocks.
Simple program, but believe me, your board games will be more fun.
Enhancements:
- First version, but usuable

Aleph One is an Open Source 3D first-person shooter game, based on the game Marathon 2 by Bungie Software.
Aleph One was originally a Mac-only game, but there is now a cross-platform version based on the Simple DirectMedia Layer (SDL) library, that should in theory run on all systems supported by SDL (Linux, BeOS, Windows, Mac OS, Solaris, IRIX, *BSD, and others). Except for a few minor things, the port is complete and playable.
Installation
From a binary package
- Unix: If you are running Linux/i386 with XFree86 4.0 and OpenGL you can download and install the binary RPM (you will also need to install at least one of the AlephOne-M1A1, AlephOne-Marathon2 or AlephOne-Infinity RPMs). Otherwise, you have to compile Aleph One/SDL from the source (see the next section). In both cases, you have to have SDL >= 1.2.0 installed.
Note: If you are getting a message like
error: Failed dependencies:
libGL.so.1(LIBGL) is needed by AlephOne-20040417-1
while installing the RPM, try installing again with the --nodeps option. If this is the only failed dependency and you have OpenGL installed, the program should work.
Compiling from source
1. You will need to have the SDL library installed. Aleph One requires at least SDL 1.2.0. Note that if you didnt install SDL from source, you will also have to install the SDL-devel package.
2. Download the Aleph One/SDL source tarball, or get the source via CVS.
3. Under Unix, install Aleph One as follows:
$ ./configure
$ make
[become root]
# make install
Under BeOS, do this instead:
$ make -f Makefile.BeOS install
This will compile the source and create a directory AlephOne in your home directory that contains the AlephOne application and some data files.
2. Installing the data files
To play Aleph One, you will also need Marathon scenario (graphics, sound and map) data files. For your convenience, Ive created archives containing the data files from the now freely available Marathon (M1A1), Marathon 2 and Marathon Infinity scenarios, converted to the formats needed by the SDL version of Aleph One.
- Unix: Either download and install at least one of the AlephOne-M1A1, AlephOne-Marathon2 or AlephOne-Infinity RPM packages, or download one of the AlephOne-M1A1-1.0.tar.gz, AlephOne-Marathon2-1.0.tar.gz or AlephOne-Infinity-1.0.tar.gz tarballs and unexpand it to /usr/local/share/AlephOne/.
- BeOS: Download one of the AlephOne-M1A1-1.0.tar.gz, AlephOne-Marathon2-1.0.tar.gz or AlephOne-Infinity-1.0.tar.gz tarballs and unexpand it to the same directory as the AlephOne application.
The packages contain the files Images, Map, Map.resources, Music, Shapes, Sounds, some scripts, and the respective instruction manual in PDF format (from the original Mac version).
Playing Aleph One
First, be sure to read the README file that comes with Aleph One/SDL.
- Unix: If you have installed the Marathon, Marathon 2, or Marathon Infinity scenario, type
$ alephone-m1a1
for M1A1, or
$ alephone-marathon2
for Marathon 2, or
$ alephone-infinity
for Marathon Infinity, to start the game. If you dont have hardware-accelerated OpenGL, you will get better performance by specifying the -g option. If this causes corrupted graphics (red screen), you should also specify the -m option.
BeOS: Double-click the AlephOne application.
Enhancements:
- This version is based on a new upstream release with improved Internet gaming, Lua scripting support, and lots of bugfixes.

Accelerator is a 3D shoot-em-up in which you pilot a craft through a tunnel, avoiding or destroying anything that gets in your way, whilst getting steadily faster and faster.

Currently lacking vast amounts of polish - a side effect of having originally been developed in a week, for a programming challenge - but it is playable.

In Angry, Drunken Dwarves, you are an angry, drunken dwarf. Why are you so angry? Who knows. But youve decided to take your aggression out on other dwarves, by dropping gems on their heads.

Lots of gems. Angry, Drunken Dwarves is a member of the classic "falling blocks" puzzle game family, similar to the Capcom game Puzzle Fighter.

The goal of the game is to build large gems by matching up colors, then break them, raining more gems down onto your opponent. The first person whose field fills up, loses.

Angry, Drunken Dwarves runs on all major operating systems. It has seven playable characters, six levels of AI, secret game modes and characters, and an original soundtrack.

No Gravity game is a futuristic and fantastic universe made of five intergalactic worlds. An arcade type game with great playability, where it is easy to plunge into space battles against spacefighters, space stations and more !

No Gravity is a space shooter in 3D a la Wing Commander. The player is controlling a space ship view from the first person. In each mission, the player need to accomplish some objectives, like shoot and destroys enemy ships or base, escorting some ships, clearing mine field, etc....

A brief description of the objectives is given at the beginning of a mission. In some situations, the player has some wingmen, and it can controls them by giving order like attack enemy, retreat, protect the base etc... A mission is composed of different sectors which has differents objectives.

When the objectives of the current sector is complete, the player needs to go the nearest NAV point, when he can wrap to the next sector. In the last sector, a warp gate is apparearing and the player need to go through it and complete the level. At the end of each episodes (one episode is 10 missions), there is a large base station to destroy.

When the player complete all the episodes (5 episodes), the game ends. The mission fails if : - The player got destroyed or - if an objective is not complete (like an important ship being destroyed by enemy).
