Free space games for pc software for linux

Space Racer project is a OpenGL Car Game in a galactic environment.

It aims to be a clone of the well known Stunt Car Racer developed by Geff Crammond, author of Grand Prix I and II.

To play a 3dfx is recommanded. But TNT and Matrox Cards should now work.

If you have a 3dfx, you can take advantage of OpenGL 1.1 in adding this line in config.h:

#define SP_OPENGL_1_1

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.

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.

Space Hulk is a great board game of Games Workshop in the world of Warhammer 40000. This is a two player turn-based game where one play the Marine, the other play the alien called Genestealer. If you need more infos on the game, you can get the rulebook or some links on Space Hulk
This video game is a complete conversion of the board game with the 2nd edition rules. Well, I know there is some fans discussion to know whether the 1st or the 2nd edition of the rules is the better. For my part, I only played the 2nd edition, thats the edition this game is based on.
The project is aiming at providing a way to play SpaceHulk on your computer exactly as you could do it with the real board version but with some extra : you can play via network (no need to have two players in the same room) synchronized or asynchronized (via e-mail), and you will even be able to play solo against an artificial intelligent opponent. Currently, only HotSeat and Play-By-Email mode game are implemented. You can see some screenshots or download it.
This game is developed as a free software with the GPL license. We always need some volonteers to help us on coding, bug reports, creating new skins or new levels, writing documentations, maintaining web sites, etc. See the development site for more infos.
Enhancements:
- Problem with diceroll.
- BF: Problem when transmitting genestealer orientation during creation.
- BF: Mail sent with n instead of rn (fix from Unifex).
- BF: segfault with newby question in pbem.

Gallipoli: The Game is a stunning recreation of Australias greatest military adventure. As a commander in the Great War (WWI), you take on the role of leading the prime of Australias armed forces as they launch an all-out assault on the Central Powers (the Germans, Austrians and the Ottomans).
Gameplay is similar to the hit PC game, Lemmings, except, instead of trying to save your soldiers, your mission, as an authentic WWI commander, is to wipe out as many diggers as possible ... the more gruesomely, the better!
Main features:
- Landing at Hell Spit (ANZAC cove)
- Russells Top
- The Sphinx
- Walkers Ridge
- The landing at Sulva Bay
- The third wave at the Nek
Enhancements:
- game much faster
- more options
- Battle of Pozyers level removed (no-one was playing it)

Games::Go::Dg2Tk is a Perl extension to convert Games::Go::Diagrams to perl/Tk windows.

SYNOPSIS

use Games::Go::Dg2Tk
my $dg2tk = B convertDiagram($diagram);

A Games::Go::Dg2Tk object converts a Games::Go::Diagram object into Tk::Canvas item. The close method calls Tk::MainLoop to dispays the collection of Canvases.

Bindings for the normal editing keys: Up, Down, Next (PageDown) and Prior (PageUp) traverse the NoteBook tabs. Tab and Shift-tab also work as expected.

Left and Right keys select the previous or next NoteBook tab, but dont display it. Space and Enter (carriage return) display the selected tab.
