Free simulated space games for pc software for linux

Free Simulated Radar Client project is a framework for radar clients for virtual air traffic control networks.

Free Simulated Radar Client is a framework for radar clients for virtual air traffic control networks (e.g., VATSIM and IVAO). Currently work is occuring on a radar client (an ASRC clone), a flight strip display, and a 3D tower view.

The framework analyses the data provided by servers of these networks and provides interfaces for radar clients (or other applications) to access this data.

SeSAm (Shell for Simulated Agent Systems) provides a generic environment for modelling and experimenting with agent-based simulation.
We specially focused on providing a tool for the easy construction of complex models, which include dynamic interdependecies or emergent behaviour.
SeSAm agents consist of a body, that contains a set of state variables and a behaviour that is implemented in form of UML-like diagram. Based on an extensive number of primitive components, a user is able to design a simulation graphically without knowing the syntax of a traditional programming language.
The model specification is executable in the same environment and the dynamics of this simulation may be observed. As there are freely configurable instruments for gathering data and scripting options for constructing simulation experiments, SeSAm is a highly valuable tool for MAS simulations especially for complex models with flexible agent behaviour and interactions.
Main features:
- Easy visual agent modelling,
- Flexible environment and situation definition,
- The whole power of a programming language,
- Integrated graphical simulation analysis ,
- Distribution of simulation runs in your LAN ,
- and many further features.....

IGE - Outer Space is an on-line strategy game with SciFi theme.

IGE - Outer Space is an on-line strategy game which takes place in the dangerous universe. You must become the commander of many stars, planets, and great fleets and you will struggle for survival with other commanders.

Outer Space communicates with the server in the same way as your browser, but you will need a special client to play it. Using this client you can create an account on the server and you can start to explore the world of the Outer Space.

Space Commander is a game that aims to be similar to Elite and Privateer, with maybe a bit of Trade Wars thrown in.
The project is a remarkably functional space simulation with under 200 lines of code in the main file.
DEPENDENCIES
You need a recent version of Python and some support libraries. The game is currently being written using Python v 2.4.3 but it may work with newer or older versions with some minor tweaking. I intend to be using Python 2.5 and PyGame 1.8 shortly.
- Python 2.4.3
- PyGame 1.7
- Numeric 22.0
Basically you need a pretty complete Python kit. Most Linux distributions should have everything that you need and Windows / OSX users will be able to install it all with a small bit of effort.
To play the MIDI score in Linux you have to install and configure Timidity due to some old code in sdl-mixer which is a pre-dependency of PyGame. If the game crashes and
complains about midi, just comment out the MIDI line in spacecommander.py to disable it.
As to performance issues. I pass the buck. If it runs too slowly then get a faster computer, better graphics card, better operating system, whatever.
The idea of writing this in Python is to have a compromise between ultimate performance and the ability to understand and tinker around with the code.
You could try reducing the number of stars in the galaxy by editing bigbang.py also.
Feel free to re-write the game in hand optimized assembler, but you must send me a copy of your code per the LICENSE.
RUNNING THE GAME
Linux: ./spacecommander.py
KEYBOARD COMMANDS
ESC / Q: Quit the game
Left / Right: Yaw
Up / Down: Pitch
PgUp / PgDN: Roll
Enhancements:
- The main engine was completely rewritten and now supports flying a spaceship around a randomly generated galaxy. 2D rendering of objects using PyGame is supported.
- Mouse flight control is featured.

PTSPACE is a X11 arcade game which allows you to patrol in space.

The real goal of this games is alien abduction except its you abducting the aliens for a change.

To get started try droping aliens into the sun and spacemen into the wormhole. The control key are shown on the info page.

Patrol in Space is a simple space arcade game in which you abduct aliens to free the solar system from alien invaders.

Zengaia Space project is a multiplayer game which can be played over a central Internet server.
In the game, you have to build ships, settle new planets, build new shipyards, fight your enemy, and conquer new planets and solar systems.
Enhancements:
- A large bug has been fixed that caused the MySQL connection to crash after about a day running the server.
- Now the server should be up 24/7 again.

simpleJ emulates a simplified computer on your PC: a retro-style video game console that lets you understand how a computer works and write your own video game programs. The first microcomputers were quite simple.

They had a few kilobytes of memory and couldnt run large programs. Many didnt even have an operating system.

Yet they had something valuable: understanding everything about their hardware and software was easy. simpleJ aims to make this possible while running on modern PC hardware.

Matanza project is a multiplayer space game.
Matanza is a game developed by the Freaks Unidos. On it, each player controls a ship and is supposed to destroy the other players.
The game runs on a telnet server, and players need nothing but a standard telnet client to play.
All the animations are rendered in ASCII art. There are no intrinsic limits to the number of players, but a high speed connection to the server is a must.
Enhancements:
- It is now possible to specify behaviours for objects controled by the server. One can, for instance, have asteroids shot when they are approached by players.
- The coordinate system has been modified to one that is more intuitive.
- Complete rewrite. Many things might have been broken.
- Stats are now constantly shown in the messages area.
