predefined game modules is included.

You have sinned in life. Now, you die and go to Hell. XEvil is the
contest that determines your fate in Hell for all eternity. At the
end of a game, you receive one of many possible rankings. A poor

Remover", while a good one might achieve a prestigious title such as
"VP of Hell Marketing" or even "Lead Software Engineer of Hell".

xpuyopuyo is a UNIX port of a very big time sink :) . Puyo puyo is a puzzle
game, somewhat like Tetris, where you strive to match up four "blobs" of the
same color. Each match you make gives points, and also dumps gray rocks on
the opponent which are irritating and troublesome to get rid of. Multiple
matches at a time score more points, and dump more rocks on the opponent (a
quintuple-match will dump around 20 rocks on the opponent, all at once).
We ported it overnight to Linux, so we could play whenever we felt like. The
AI's evolved more slowly, over the course of a week or so. I welcome sugges-
tions on how to make the AI's more difficult during the game; currently, they
are rather easy to beat on easy level, but more difficult on hard. There are
still gaping holes in the game interface which should be fixed soon. Sugges-
tions for improvements are welcome.
XScorch is a clone of the olden-days DOS game "Scorch".
It is an extremely addictive war game where any mixture of

possible) and attempt to blow up or arrange to blow up the
other tanks on the field (which can vary from rugged,
mountainous terrain to flat plains). The last tank on the
field is the winner.
