Custom Strategy Role Playing Game project is an engine for creating strategy role-playing games.
Two players confront two parties of characters (which have RPG attributes: job, level, exp, skills, etc.) over a battlefield, and the surviving party wins.
Jobs, skills, etc. are stored in XML custom files. It has a combat style similar to Final Fantasy Tactics and Shining Force.
Enhancements:
- Custom effects for skils.
- New contender attribute managing is working now.
- New skill types and skill capabilities (as enable at a certain level).
- Contenders final attributes can now depend on skills.
- Jobs have now a basic bonus and a level bonus (which depends on
- contenders level).
- Partial code rewriting for some old features.

Realms of Rivalry is an online tactical rpg. Play short skirmishes in random-generated game worlds.
The game can be summarized as an online graphical turn-based strategy/rpg game where you can play short tactical skirmishes with 2-4 players in small random-generated game worlds. The game is free and can be played either as an applet or downloadable client.
The time-limited turns (30-90 secs) give the game a semi-realtime feel, and the game has sometimes been characterized as "chess on steroids".
Main features:
- Community friendly game lobby where you can chat with others and join realms.
- Up to 4 players simultaneously battling on the same realm.
- Players control teams of 3 characters: Warrior, Archer and Mage.
- Time-limited turn-based gameplay.
- Random-generated game worlds (realms).
- CPU controlled monsters.
- Several weapons, armor, traps and other items.
- Occlusion calculation used in combat situations.
- Interrupts.
- Different types of terrain.
- Buy & sell items at vendors.
- Monster respawning.
- Ingame chat.
- Detailed end-of-game summary panel.
Explore the map and kill creatures to obtain weapons, potions, runes, traps and more to aid you in your quest for domination!
The game development has been very "test-driven" in the sense that the game quickly was made playable and that features and changes were added and removed continuously during development. This hopefully improves gameplay, but of course at the expense of dramatically increased development time.
Realms of rivalry was never intended to "soothe the masses", but were made entirely to match the game that we ourselves would like to play - something we have done for many, many hours :-) But of course, some of you might enjoy this game aswell, and that is why we decided to share it with you!.

Quarters Board Game project is a strategy game for two players.

Although its rules are relatively simple, it still offers some of the same opportunities for skill as in chess.

This program was originally conceived in the summer of 1986 during a study of the mini-max algorithm for chess playing computers, and was thus designed to offer some of the same type of strategies.

The game was originally written in BASIC, then ported to Turbo Pascal, then to C, and finally to Java.

The Java version is not necessarily object oriented, since it is a crude port from the C version.

Attal: Lords of Doom is a strategy game still in development.

Its a turn-based strategy game, that can be played alone (against AI) or against other through a network (local or internet). Attal is available under Linux and Windows.

Gamma Low is an open-source, multiplayer strategy game where players in two teams fight for the dominance of a cellular system in a real-time, match-based environment.

In each team, one player is elected to be The Mind, the commander. A few other players are chosen to be his tactical helpers, called the Spirits and the other players form the working and attacking force of the team.

Gamma Low project is released under the GPL license.

GNOME War Pad is VGA Planets client for GNOME 2 desktop platform. It aims to develop a full featured client, including scripting Python support.
VGA Planets is a play-by-email space conquest strategy game, it can be played by 11 players max. This game is being played by strategy fanatics all over the world for some years now, is very addictive and there are several servers on the Internet that host various kinds of this games.
Well, first of all this game is great, I thank Tim Wisseman for his creation, secondly its very cheap to register it (I think 5 USD) and if you dont want to register it, you still can play it with some limitations. Plus, because this game was developed for DOS, almost all clients existing this days are for DOS or Windows, and since Im a GNU/Linux freak, Im tired of playing VP with dosemu, its just too slow! :-)...so thats my itch, I wanna scratch it as ESR says.
Actually, there isnt a GNU/Linux client for VP that Im aware of, I know that PCCs author, Stefan Reuther from Germany, is porting his excellent client to GNU/Linux using the SDL library, this is great! but again, GNOME deserves to have its own client, so I started this project as an excuse to learn how to program for GNOME, and also to polish my C programming skills.
This software is Free Software, released under the GNU General Public License, you may copy, modify it and redistribute it under the conditions of this license.
Enhancements:
- this is a major milestone in this projects development because now the player can make some real actions into the game! no more viewing-only! Enjoy!

Games::Alak is a simple game-tree implementation of a gomoku-like game.

SYNOPSIS

% perl -MGames::Alak -e Games::Alak::play
...Or just run Alak.pm as if it were a program...
...Program responds with output, and a prompt:

Lookahead set to 3. I am X, you are O.
Enter h for help
X moves from 1 to 5, yielding .xxxx..oooo
alak>
...and now you enter the commands to play.

This module implements a simple game-tree system for the computer to play against the user in a game of Alak. You can just play the game for fun; or you can use this module as a starting point for understanding game trees (and implementing smarter strategy -- the modules current logic is fairly simple-minded), particularly after reading my Perl Journal #18 article on trees, which discusses this modules implementation of game trees as an example of general tree-shaped data structures.
