Spice Trade project is an RPG/strategy/adventure game.

Spice Trade is an RPG/adventure/strategy game in which the main character is a poor man who has lost his parents, inherited some land and a house.

He becomes a trader of spices and herbs in Baghdad at a time when Europeans are starting their "great voyages of exploration".

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

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.

Spacewar project is a 2-player arcade game.

Spacewar is an arcade game in which two players have to destroy each others space ship by hitting them with their lasers.

It uses SDL and runs on both Linux and Windows

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.

Eclipse is a set of C++ classes designed to give beginner developers a head start in developing their first games as well as more experienced developers who dont want to have to write code for mundane tasks like fonts, sprites, and image loading.

Eclipse 2D Game Engine provides bitmap fonts, window management, audio capabilities, image loading, error logging, and zip file support.
