Free space invaders software for linux

Space Mines project is a game where one makes money by building mines.
Space Mines is a game where one needs to make money by building mines and by keeping ones workers happy.
INSTALLATION
make all
make install
make clean
USAGE
Build mines (but not too many) and create profits by selling the ore!
You need to pay your workers wages to keep them happy. Mining on other worlds is a dangerous business, and workers are at risk from exploding mines, radiation leaks, etc.
Version restrictions:
- There is very little error checking for if someone enters the wrong data type (like letters where there should be numbers).
Enhancements:
- Decided to release it to the world
- Made it GPL
- Included some documentation

Triplex Invaders is a classic Alien Invaders style game with 3d graphics.

In Triplex Invaders, the player pilots a spaceship against never ending hoards of enemy ships. It has psychedelic 3d graphics (but 2d gameplay).

It is written in Python so it should run on Linux, Windows, and OSX. pyOpenGL is used for hardware-accelerated OpenGL graphics. PyGame is used for getting input and stuff. Because Python is a little slow (and my code is unoptimized), you might get low framerates on older computers. Nonetheless, my 1.8Ghz Pentium M laptop is more than fast enough. It doesnt tax the GPU much (but you do need hardware graphics acceleration). If you have psyco installed, Invaders will take advantage of it and run a little faster.

Features include: Motion blur, Particle effects, Randomly generated weapons/enemies.
Triplex Invaders was originally written by three freshmen for the CS102 class at Johns Hopkins University. I (Arthur Danskin) am still working on it.

Please feel free to contribute anything cool. Models are in wavefront .obj format. The code is very object oriented and modular, so it should be very easy to add a new weapon or enemy type (if you know python).

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.

nInvaders project is a Space Invaders clone for ncurses.
Ever wanted to play space invaders when you cant find a GUI? Now you can!
Enhancements:
- added timer - now playable under irix, windows, some redhat-versions
- added title-screen
- removed bug: shooting last alien sometimes freezed game

XInvaders 3D project is a 3D Space Invaders clone for X11.

You are a lone star fighter facing endless waves of space aliens. Your sole objective is to shoot down as many aliens as you can.

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.

Open Space Shooter is a simple 2D space shooter like asteorids.

Just a small spaceship, some Asteorids and some enemies. You got lasers and rockets and try to fight the enemy ships, not more.

It is simple but funny.

All is just a prototyp of a game I want to write later. But I have no time at the moment...
