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.

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

Space Plumber is a first-person 3d game, not much different to Doom and Quake. The main goal of Space Plumber is to reach the extraction pumps before the water level increases swamping everything.
Each of the 30 levels that conform the game have progressive difficulty by adding more pumps and consoles that you must deactivate first, and by making the map bigger. There are no enemies, you fight against time and misorientation, and you only have your skills to move inside the maze.
The 1.1.x series are a port to use the QDGDF library, making it easier to compile in a variety of systems. Its included in the package, so you dont have to download it separately.
Enhancements:
- Space Plumber has been ported to use the QDGDF library, so its compilable in a wider variety of platforms and has some new features.
- The most important new feature is sound support under Linux.
- The game itself is exactly the same.

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.

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.

Sarien project is a Sierra AGI interpreter for games like Kings Quest and Space Quest.

Games::Chess Perl module represent chess positions and games.

SYNOPSIS

use Games::Chess qw(:constants);
my $p = Games::Chess::Position->new;
$p->at(0,0,BLACK,ROOK);
$p->at(7,7,WHITE,ROOK);
print $p->to_text;

The Games::Chess package provides the class Games::Chess::Piece to represent chess pieces, and the class Games::Chess::Position to represent a position in a chess game. Objects can be instantiated from data in standard formats and exported to these formats.

NOTATION

See Games::Chess::PGN for full details of the notations.

SAN

Standard Algebraic Notation. The modern international notation for chess games. For example,

1. e4 e5
2. f4 exf4
3. Nf3 g5

FEN

Forsythe-Edwards Notation. A compact representation for chess positions. FEN specifies the piece placement, the active color, the castling availability, the en passant target square, the halfmove clock, and the fullmove number as six fields separated by spaces. For example, the opening position is described in FEN as follows:

rnbqkbnr/pppppppp/8/8/8/8/PPPPPPPP/RNBQKBNR w KQkq - 0 1

PGN

Portable Game Notation. A notation for chess games, including the moves, commentary, variations, and metadata such as the players, the event, the round number, and the date of the match. For example,

[Event "F/S Return Match"]
[Site "Belgrade, Serbia JUG"]
[Date "1992.11.04"]
[Round "29"]
[White "Fischer, Robert J."]
[Black "Spassky, Boris V."]
[Result "1/2-1/2"]

EPD

Extended Position Description. An extensible notation based on FEN. Intended for data interchange between chess-playing programs and for the construction of opening databases. Not used by Games::Chess.
