XO World is a board game that lets you play Tic-tac-toe versus computer on 10x10 board.

You play against computer on 10x10 board. Both you and opponent place signs (yours is X, and computers is O) on the board - one at a time. The goal is to make a line of 5 signs before your opponent. Lines can be horizontal, vertical or diagonal.

Tile World is an emulation of the game "Chips Challenge". "Chips Challenge" was originally written for the Atari Lynx by Chuck Sommerville, and was later ported to MS Windows by Microsoft (among other ports).

Please note: Tile World is an emulation of the game engine(s) only. It does not come with the chips.dat file that contains the original level set. This file is copyrighted and cannot be freely distributed. The chips.dat file was originally part of the MS version of "Chips Challenge". If you have a copy of this version of the game, you can use that file to play the game in Tile World. If you do not have a copy of this file, however, you can still play Tile World with the many freely available level sets created by fans of the original game, including CCLP2.

"Chips Challenge" is a game made up of both intellectually engaging puzzles and situations demanding fast reflexes. As you might have guessed, it is a tile-based game. The object of each level is simply to get out -- i.e., to find and achieve the exit tile. This simple task, however, can sometimes be extremely challenging.

Robot World aims to be a distributed physical environment inhabited by programmable robots, spanning across countless computers on the internet in true peer-to-peer fashion.
Robot World components:
- Parser / compiler compiles robot programs into byte code, stored in a .xml file
- Inject - send a robot program to the world
- RobotWorld - the world simulation program
- dsm - the bytecode disassembler
- rowo.y - language grammar file
parser
Compile a robot. Creates an .xml file from a .r file
$ parser sample.r
dsm
Disassembles a robot .xml file.
$ dsm sample.xml
robotworld
Testbed. Receiving server for "inject" - see below.
$ robotworld
inject
Send robot to world. "robotworld" must be running.
$ inject sample.xml

Shut The Box project is a simple diversion written in C and GTK+. The object is simple: roll the dice and click the tiles that sum up to that dice roll until there are no more tiles to click.

Shut The Box is based off of those little wooden puzzles with dice and tiles. My first exposure was playing this as a BBS Door on a BBS my friend ran.

The concept was simple enough so I tried writing it for my own Atari BBS (with the help of another more experienced SysOp).

After I took the BBS offline, the game concept grew from an idea into a sort of “Hello World” application I’d write in order to become more familiar with a language. Hence, this is my “Hello World” for GTK+, although I have several other applications brewing in GTK+.

CarWorld is a small driving simulator/demo I use to test various things of interest. It was mostly developed when I was a student. Car World is released with the full source code under the GNU General Public License.

The rendering

The two top pictures represent an slightly older version (v0.072) but graphically similar of CarWorld as it was presented for my project. v0.072 includes an OpenGL based renderer allowing
file input and displaying of texture mapped models with interpolated surface normals, real time projected shadows (as seen in the dino lights example).
background object
on screen command line to modify visual and simulation parameters

The mechanics

based on classical mechanics
uses standard metrics (Newtons, meters, seconds...)
there are no constraints on the environment surface
variable length time increments and variable increment number means "CarWorld time" is not dependent on frame rate.
adjustable simulation specs include: metrics, mass, moment of inertia around rotation axis, suspension pre load, compression damping, rebound damping, engine torque output, air friction, surface friction.

Heart of The Alien Redux project is a complete rewrite of game Heart of The Alien.

This game was rewritten modern computers and consoles.

Heart of The Alien is the sequel for the undoubtably the best adventure of all times, Another World. Developed back in 1994 by Interplay exclusively for the Sega CD console.

This is an open-source project which aims to bring this highly-addictive game to all modern consoles and computer platforms.

Image::WorldMap is a Perl module to create graphical world maps of data.

SYNOPSIS

use Image::WorldMap;
my $map = Image::WorldMap->new("earth-small.png", "maian/8");
$map->add(4.91, 52.35, "Amsterdam.pm");
$map->add(-2.355399, 51.3828, "Bath.pm");
$map->add(-0.093999, 51.3627, "Croydon.pm");
$map->draw("test.png");

This module helps create graphical world maps of data, such as the Perl Monger World Map (http://www.astray.com/Bath.pm/). This module takes in a number of label locations (longitude/latitude) and outputs an image. It can attach text to the labels, and tries to make sure that labels do not overlap.

It is intended to be used to create images of information such as "where are all the Perl Monger groups?", "where in the world are all the CPAN mirrors?" and so on.
This module comes with a low-resolution image of the world. Additional larger images have not been bundled with the module due to their size, but are available at: http://www.astray.com/WorldMap/
