− | |GALAXIS for UNIX | + | | |
− | | + | | |
− | Lifeboats from a crippled interstellar liner are adrift in a
| + | |
− | starfield. To find them, you can place probes that look in all
| + | |
− | eight compass directions and tell you how many lifeboats they see.
| + | |
− | If you drop a probe directly on a lifeboat it will be revealed
| + | |
− | immediately. Your objective: find the lifeboats as quickly as
| + | |
− | possible, before the stranded passengers run out of oxygen!
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | This is a UNIX-hosted, curses-based clone of the nifty little
| + | |
− | Macintosh freeware game Galaxis. It doesn't have the super-simple,
| + | |
− | point-and-click interface of the original, but compensates by
| + | |
− | automating away some of the game's simpler deductions.

| |galaxyhack | | |galaxyhack |
− | |GalaxyHack allows you to design a fleet of spaceships which can then be tested | + | | |
− | in AI script based battles against fleets designed by other players. Though
| + | | |
− | battles take place in real time, the strategy comes before hand, both in
| + | |
− | writing short AI scripts in a simple scripting language, and also in the set
| + | |
− | up and selection of your fleet. You don't actually have any control over your
| + | |
− | units at all mid-battle, but rather use the time to see where the set up of
| + | |
− | your fleets is working, where your fleets' weaknesses lie and changes are
| + | |
− | needed, and perhaps also to learn from the strategy of your opponent.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | The game revolves around very large capital ships, from which smaller ships
| + | |
− | are launched. To win a battle you must destroy of all of your opponent's
| + | |
− | capital ships before they destroy yours.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | There can be hundreds of units in any one battle, but there is no harvesting,
| + | |
− | resource management or base building.

| |gemdropx | | |gemdropx |
− | |"Gem Drop X" is an interesting one-player puzzle game using the | + | | |
− | Simple DirectMedia Layer (SDL) libraries.
| + | | |
− | | + | |
− | It is a direct port of "Gem Drop," an Atari 8-bit game written in Action!
| + | |
− | (a very fast C- and Pascal-like compiled language for the Atari).
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | It was originally ported to X11, using SDL for sound and music.
| + | |
− | Eventually, the Xlib graphics calls were removed and replaced with
| + | |
− | SDL calls.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | The concept of the game "Gem Drop" is based on an arcade game for the
| + | |
− | NeoGeo system called "Magical Drop III" by SNK.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | If you're familiar with games like Jewels, Klax, Bust-A-Move or Tetris,
| + | |
− | this game is similar to them all. I consider it closest to Klax.
| + | |
− | Some people have compared it to "Tetris meets Space Invaders."

| |genact | | |genact |
− | |genact is a nonsense terminal activity generator. | + | | |
− | | + | | |
− | It is described in the following way by its authors:
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | Pretend to be busy or waiting for your computer when you should actually be
| + | |
− | doing real work! Impress people with your insane multitasking skills. Just
| + | |
− | open a few instances of genact and watch the show. genact has multiple scenes
| + | |
− | that pretend to be doing something exciting or useful when in reality nothing
| + | |
− | is happening at all.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | genact can load modules, which produce different activity. Currently, it
| + | |
− | comes with the following set of modules: bootlog, cargo, cc, composer,
| + | |
− | cryptomining, simcity, download, memdump, kernel_compile, weblog.

| |glbsp | | |glbsp |
− | |glBSP is a node builder specially designed to be used with OpenGL | + | | |

| + | | |
− | specification, which means it adds some new special nodes to a WAD
| + | |
− | file that makes it very easy (and fast !) for an OpenGL DOOM engine to
| + | |
− | compute the polygons needed for drawing the levels.
| + | |
− | There are many DOOM ports that understand the GL Nodes which glBSP
| + | |
− | creates, including: EDGE, the Doomsday engine (JDOOM), Doom3D, PrBoom,
| + | |
− | and Vavoom.
