Free video games software for linux

Davids Perl Games project is a collection of ASCII graphics arcade style games written in Perl.

These games are recreations of simple ASCII graphics games originally written in BASIC.

They are ideal for use as Perl programming tutorials. Some of the first few games are PerlBlaster (defend your planet from invading aliens), PerlRacer (steer your car through the twisting passages), and PerlArena (eliminate the mutant hordes).

Wolvix is a GNU/Linux LiveCD built from SLAX. Wolvix is a desktop oriented distribution made to fit the needs from regular to advanced desktop users.

Along with the applications youll get some of the best free Linux games. (No 3D gfx card required).

Games Edition features over 50 games in different categories, four emulators and quite a few desktop applications.

You wont find World of Warcraft or Half-Life 2 on the CD, but Ive tried to include some of the finest free Linux games and I think there should be a game or two for most people, Ive even added dopewars for your grandma.

None of the games require 3D drivers, so you should be able to play most games on any graphics card

Games::3D is a package containing an object system for (not only) 3D games.

SYNOPSIS

use Games::3D::World;

my $world = Games::3D::World->new();

$world->save_to_file( $filename );

my $loaded = Games::3D::world->load_from_file( $filename );

my $thing1 = $world->add ( Games::3D::Thingy->new( ... ) );
my $thing2 = $world->add ( Games::3D::Thingy->new( ... ) );

$world->link($thing1, $thing2);

Games::3D::World provides you with a container class that will contain every object in your game object system. This are primarily objects that have states, change these states and need to announce the states to other objects.

The Games::3D::World container also enables you to save and restore snapshots of your objects system.

Basic things that you object system contains are derived from a class called Games::3D::Thingy. These can represent physical objects (buttons, levers, doors, lights etc) as well as virtual objects (trigger, sensors, links, markers, sound sources etc).

You can link Thingys together, either directly or via Games::3D::Links. The links have some more features than direct linking, which are explained below.

This package also provides you with Games::3D::Sensor, a class for objects that sense state changes and act upon them. Or not, depending on the sensor. Sensors are primarily used to watch for certain conditions and then act when they are met. Examples are the death of an object, values that go below a certain threshold etc.

State changes are transported in the object system with signals.

Games::Score is a Perl module to keep track of score in games .

SYNOPSIS

use Games::Score;

# these three values are the default ones, by the way
Games::Score->default_score(0);
Games::Score->default_step(1);
Games::Score->step_method(inc);

# start two players
my $player1 = Games::Score->new();
my $player2 = Games::Score->new();

# set a winning condition
Games::Score->victory_is( sub { $_[0] >= 20 } );

# and something to do if it is achieved
Games::Score->on_victory_do( sub { print "Won!" } );

# give points to the players
$player1->add(2);
$player2->step();

# look at section FUNCTIONS for more functionalities, such as
Games::Score->invalidate_if( sub { $_[0] > 20 } );

Games::Score can be use to keep track of several players points in a game, regardless of the starting amount of points, winning and/or losing conditions, etc.
It provides several useful methods so that the user doesnt have to keep testing values to see if theyre valid or if the player condition has changed.

Games::Goban is a board for playing go, renju, othello, etc.

SYNOPSIS

use Games::Goban;
my $board = new Games::Goban (
size => 19,
game => "go",
white => "Seigen, Go",
black => "Minoru, Kitani",
referee => &Games::Goban::Rules::Go,
);

$board->move("pd"); $board->move("dd");
print $board->as_sgf;

This is a generic module for handling goban-based board games. Theoretically, it can be used to handle many of the other games which can use Smart Game Format (SGF) but I want to keep it reasonably restricted in order to keep it simple.
