Free role playing games software for linux

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

Scroll Rack is a virtual tabletop on which you can play card games against other people over a network.
Scroll Rack was designed to simulate the Magic: The Gathering (R) game, but it can be expanded to simulate other games.
It supports two-player peer-to-peer mode, and client/server mode for multi-player games and tournaments.
Main features:
- Open source.
- Support planned for Linux, Mac, and Windows.
- Can download card images from www.wizards.com and display them on the virtual tabletop.
- Clients can connect directly (peer-to-peer) or through a server run by a third party.
- Peer-to-peer games use encryption to prevent players from seeing cards they arent allowed to see.
- Peer-to-peer games use Jabber so both players can be behind firewalls.
- Client/server games support any number of players and watchers.
- Supports Living Wish (move card from sideboard to hand).
- Supports Battle of Wits (very large decks).
Enhancements:
- Add Deck Editor.
- Download card images from magiccards.info instead of wizards.com. Higher quality images.
- Download Oracle spoiler file from a Scroll Rack dedicated site instead of gatherer.wizards.com. Faster, more reliable download, with more data.
- Rearrange files in .scrollrack.cache.
- Add Save Log menu item.
- When starting a game with a sideboarded deck, show note in New Game dialog.

Hephaestus project is a computer role playing game construction kit.

Hephaestus is a freeware computer role-playing game construction kit (often called an "RPG maker"). A map editor is included, and scripting is done in the Java programming language. Hephaestus is written in Java, and therefore runs on every platform.

Youve wanted to make your own computer role-playing game all your life. Hephaestus 2 makes it easier than ever to make any adventure you can imagine. Use your own art and sounds, or use the standard libraries. Make "static" maps with the map editor, or create your maps entirely with code - even making mazes and dungeons that are different every time you play. Theres never been a better time to start writing your own CRPG!

Hephaestus 2 now includes the post-holocaust horror adventure, Umbra! After the Great Old Ones return to reclaim the Earth, the few survivors cower in towns hidden in the wilderness, or have given themselves over to madness and worship of inhuman gods. You start out alone and helpless, but can rise to strike back, and perhaps return Earth to humanity!

Games::Cards is a Perl module for writing and playing card games.

SYNOPSIS

use Games::Cards;
my $Rummy = new Games::Cards::Game;

# Create the correct deck for a game of Rummy.
my $Deck = new Games::Cards::Deck ($Rummy, "Deck");

# shuffle the deck and create the discard pile
$Deck->shuffle;
my $Discard = new Games::Cards::Queue "Discard Pile";

# Deal out the hands
foreach my $i (1 .. 3) {
my $hand = new Games::Cards::Hand "Player $i" ;
$Deck->give_cards($hand, 7);
$hand->sort_by_value;
push @Hands, $hand;
}

# print hands (e.g. "Player 1: AS 2C 3C 3H 10D QS KH")
foreach (@Hands) { print ($_->print("short"), "n") }

$Hands[1]->give_a_card ($Discard, "8D"); # discard 8 of diamonds

This module creates objects and methods to allow easier programming of card games in Perl. It allows you to do things like create decks of cards, have piles of cards, hands, and other sets of cards, turn cards face-up or face-down, and move cards from one set to another. Which is pretty much all you need for most card games.
