Free war games 2.0 software for linux

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

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).

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.

Games::Chess Perl module represent chess positions and games.

SYNOPSIS

use Games::Chess qw(:constants);
my $p = Games::Chess::Position->new;
$p->at(0,0,BLACK,ROOK);
$p->at(7,7,WHITE,ROOK);
print $p->to_text;

The Games::Chess package provides the class Games::Chess::Piece to represent chess pieces, and the class Games::Chess::Position to represent a position in a chess game. Objects can be instantiated from data in standard formats and exported to these formats.

NOTATION

See Games::Chess::PGN for full details of the notations.

SAN

Standard Algebraic Notation. The modern international notation for chess games. For example,

1. e4 e5
2. f4 exf4
3. Nf3 g5

FEN

Forsythe-Edwards Notation. A compact representation for chess positions. FEN specifies the piece placement, the active color, the castling availability, the en passant target square, the halfmove clock, and the fullmove number as six fields separated by spaces. For example, the opening position is described in FEN as follows:

rnbqkbnr/pppppppp/8/8/8/8/PPPPPPPP/RNBQKBNR w KQkq - 0 1

PGN

Portable Game Notation. A notation for chess games, including the moves, commentary, variations, and metadata such as the players, the event, the round number, and the date of the match. For example,

[Event "F/S Return Match"]
[Site "Belgrade, Serbia JUG"]
[Date "1992.11.04"]
[Round "29"]
[White "Fischer, Robert J."]
[Black "Spassky, Boris V."]
[Result "1/2-1/2"]

1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 a6 4. Ba4 Nf6 5. O-O Be7 6. Re1
b5 7. Bb3 d6 8. c3 O-O 9. h3 Nb8 10. d4 Nbd7 11. c4 c6
12. cxb5 axb5 13. Nc3 Bb7 14. Bg5 b4 15. Nb1 h6 16. Bh4 c5
17. dxe5 Nxe4 18. Bxe7 Qxe7 19. exd6 Qf6 20. Nbd2 Nxd6
21. Nc4 Nxc4 22. Bxc4 Nb6 23. Ne5 Rae8 24. Bxf7+ Rxf7
25. Nxf7 Rxe1+ 26. Qxe1 Kxf7 27. Qe3 Qg5 28. Qxg5 hxg5
29. b3 Ke6 30. a3 Kd6 31. axb4 cxb4 32. Ra5 Nd5 33. f3 Bc8
34. Kf2 Bf5 35. Ra7 g6 36. Ra6+ Kc5 37. Ke1 Nf4 38. g3 Nxh3
39. Kd2 Kb5 40. Rd6 Kc5 41. Ra6 Nf2 42. g4 Bd3 43. Re6
1/2-1/2

EPD

Extended Position Description. An extensible notation based on FEN. Intended for data interchange between chess-playing programs and for the construction of opening databases. Not used by Games::Chess.

Games::Go::SGF is a Perl module that can parse and dissect Standard Go Format files.

SYNOPSIS

use Games::Go::SGF;
my $sgf = new Games::Go::SGF($sgfdata);
print "Game played on ".$sgf->date."n";
print $sgf->white. " (W) vs. ".$sgf->black." (B)n";
print "Board size: ".$sgf->size.". Komi: ".$sgf->komi."n";

while ($move = $sgf->move($move_no++)) {
print "$move_no: ".$move->move,"n";
}

This is a very simple SGF file parser, of currently limited functionality. It can read and step through SGF files, follow variations, and so on. Its good enough for getting simple statistics about games of Go, and building up Games::Go::Board objects representing games stored as SGF.

$sgf->move returns either a normal Games::Go::SGF::Node or a Games::Go::SGF::Variation object. They behave exactly the same, but the variation object has the additional methods mainline() to get the main line of the game, variation($n) to get the first node in the nth variation, and variations to retrieve an array of variations. $variation->move will, by default, follow the mainline.

Games::PerlWar is a Perl variant of the classic Corewar game.

This is a sparring program, similar to the programmed reality of the Matrix.
It has the same basic rules, rules like gravity. What you must learn is that
these rules are no different than the rules of a computer system. Some of
them can be bent, others can be broken. - Morpheus

PerlWar is inspired by the classic http://www.corewar.info/|Corewar game. In this game, players pit snippets of Perl code (called agents) against each other in order to gain control of the vicious virtual battlefield known as... the Array.

GAME PARAMETERS

Size of the Array

The number of cells that the Array possesses. Each cell can hold one agent.

Agent Maximal Size

The maximal length, in characters, of an agent. If an agent is or becomes larger than this limit, it automatically segfaults upon execution.

Game Maximal Number of Iterations

The maximal number of rounds that can be played before a game is declared over.

NetSpades project is a networked spades game for one to four players.

It features both a console version (using SLang) and an X version (using GTK). It includes messaging so players may chat back and forth during the game. The server can handle multiple simultaneous games.
