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.

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.

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.

PySpaceWar is a top down one or two player space game with gravity.

PySpaceWar is an open-source game, loosely inspired by Spacewar, Gravity Wars, and a bit by Star Control (I and II).

Two ships duel in a gravity field. Gravity doesnt affect the ships themselves (which have spanking new anti-gravity devices), but it affects missiles launched by the ships.

You can play against the computer, or two players can play with one keyboard. There is also a Gravity Wars mode, where the two ships do not move, and the players repeatedly specify the direction and velocity of their missiles.

Sable is a frantic 3d space shooter inspired by games such as After Burner and Space Harrier. You pilot a ship through an obstacle-laden landscape and attack or evade swarms of enemies.

Sable itself is quite easy to play. The arrow keys move your ship, and the space bar fires your cannons. Holding down the space bar produces a rapid-fire effect. Avoid enemy craft, enemy shots, and the pylons. Pylons are destroyable but require concentrated fire to destroy.

Destroying an enemy ship is worth 75 points. Destroying a pylon is worth 200. Evading a pylon is worth 25 points.

Pressing P will pause the game. The R key toggles the "pylon radar" display which can be used to help navigate dense pylon fields.

Resource Management Game project is a Web-based resource management game.

Resource Management Game is a PHP framework for easily creating resource management and strategy games.

Two playable games are included.

The system uses sessions to store data and should work out of the box with little or no configuration.
