Othello Game is a classic strategy game, also known as Reversi. Its objective is to finish the game with the greater amount of pieces (circles) of the same color.
This version of the Othello game supports the writing of AI plugins in C++ or Python, network games, and interface themes.
Enhancements:
- pkgconfig support was added.
- It is now easier to write AI plugins.
- An installation guide, and a tutorial for writing plugins were incuded.
- It is now possible to disable Python support from the configuration.
- New icons were provided.

Acquire is a computer version of the classic board game.
The goal of the game is to make the most profit by buying stocks in companies that form, merge and grow as tiles are placed on the game board.
This program is a text-based version of the game and should be playable on any system with a C++ compiler.
Enhancements:
- The main improvement of this release is that the bug causing the game to crash at the end was fixed, so you can now see who won.
- There were some other small bugfixes and changes.

Quarters Board Game project is a strategy game for two players.

Although its rules are relatively simple, it still offers some of the same opportunities for skill as in chess.

This program was originally conceived in the summer of 1986 during a study of the mini-max algorithm for chess playing computers, and was thus designed to offer some of the same type of strategies.

The game was originally written in BASIC, then ported to Turbo Pascal, then to C, and finally to Java.

The Java version is not necessarily object oriented, since it is a crude port from the C version.

Siriel4 game engine project is a game engine for adventure, arcade, maze-like games.
The main goal of this engine is to provide tools and scripts for easy game creation.
Game creators only write the necessary scenario descriptions for the game in a scripting language (such as Lua) and do not have to care about such low-level details as animation loading, etc.
Main features:
- Lua-5.0 - scripting language support
- DUMB - music and audio support
- Multiplayer
- Terminal support for controlling engine
Enhancements:
- fixed widget system
- removed procedure for separate processing of widget and replaced by flag indicating status of widget
- basic support of room neighbours
- fixed Makefile - include paths
- fixed freeze mode of univers (bug: avatar can move in freeze mode)
- callback function
- avatar can walk through rooms
- fixed processing and displaying things in correct rooms, so they display only in rooms where they are connected to
- fixed collision with object

Chess::Game is a class to record and validate the moves of a game of chess.

SYNOPSIS

use Chess::Game;

$game = Chess::Game->new();
$clone = $game->clone();
$move = $game->make_move("e2", "e4");
$move_c = $clone->make_move("e2", "e4");
$true = ($move->get_piece() ne $move_c->get_piece());
$move = $game->delete_move();
...
while (!defined($result = $game->result())) {
# get a move
$move = $game->make_move($sq1, $sq2);
if (!defined($move)) {
print $game->get_message();
}
}
if ($result == 1) {
print "White wins!n";
}
elsif ($result == 0) {
print "Draw!n"
}
else {
print "Black wins!n";
}

The Chess module provides a framework for writing chess programs with Perl. This class forms part of that framework, providing move validation for all moves recorded using the Chess::Game class. The Game contains a Chess::Board, 32 Chess::Pieces and a Chess::Game::MoveList that contains a series of Chess::Game::MoveListEntrys that record the exact state of the game as it progresses. Moves can be taken back one-at-a-time to allow for simple movelist manipulation.

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.

Volity::Game is a base class for Volity game modules.

SYNOPSIS

See Volity::Game::TicTacToe and its source code for a simple but full-featured example.

This class provides a framework for writing Volity game modules in Perl. A Volity game module will be a subclass of this class.

To turn your subclass into an active Volity parlor, you can pass it to the volityd program via its game_class config option (see volityd).

USAGE

To use this module, subclass it. Create your own Perl package for your game, and have it inherit from Volity::Game. Then define game logic and other behavior primarily by writing callback methods, as described in "CALLBACK METHODS".

See Volity::Game::TicTacToe for a simple but complete example of a Volity::Game subclass.

Some things to keep in mind while writing your subclass:

Its a pseudohash

The object that results from your class will be a Perl pseudohash that makes use of the fields pragma. (See fields.) As the example shows, you should declare the the instance variables you intend to use with a use fields() invocation.

Other than that, an instance if your subclass will work just like a hash-based Perl object.

Use (but dont abuse) the initialize() method

The Volity::Game base class constructor calls initialize() as a final step.

If you override this method to peform game-specific initialization on your subclass, it must have a return value of $self->SUPER::initialize(@_).
