This game is played in a parallelepipede containing PxNxN little
cubes. You can first consider this 3D board as P 2D checkerboards of
NxN squares. From 2 up to 10 players can confront each other.
Each player begins with a certain number of pieces (or armies) that
he has to move and make attack. One of his pieces represents him-self
(or the chief, or the king, or anything you want). If this piece die,
the player is eliminated. The last player staying alive wins.
Messages can be sent to the other players , so that alliances can be
implemented. A special timer assures that the game remains dynamic.
Have you ever thought Tetris(R) was evil because it wouldn't send you
that straight "I" brick you needed in order to clear four rows at the
same time?
Well Tetris(R) probably isn't evil, but Bastet certainly is. Bastet
stands for "bastard tetris", and is a simple ncurses-based Tetris(R)
clone for Linux. Unlike normal Tetris(R), however, Bastet does not
choose your next brick at random. Instead, Bastet uses a special
algorithm designed to choose the worst brick possible.
As you can imagine, playing Bastet can be a very frustrating experience!
Anki is a program designed to help you remember facts (such as words and
phrases in a foreign language) as easily, quickly and efficiently as possible.
To do this, it tracks how well you remember each fact, and uses that
information to optimally schedule review times. With a minimal amount
of effort, you can greatly increase the amount of material you remember,
making study more productive, and more fun.
While Anki can be used for studying anything, it also ships with special
features designed to make studying Japanese and English easier: integrated
dictionary lookups, missing kanji reports, and more. Sample decks are also
provided for Russian.

FreeBSD graphics console (VGL) version of the famous Digger game.
HISTORY
-------
Digger was originally created by Windmill software in 1983 and released as
a copy-protected, bootable 5.25" floppy disk for the IBM PC/XT. As it
requires a genuine CGA card, it didn't work on modern PCs. In 1998 a new
version was created by Andrew Jenner which runs on all PCs with CGA or
better and, whilst retaining all the atmosphere and playability of the
original, has many new features.
In 2000 it was ported to several Unix-like architectures by Maxim Sobolev.
Currently it supports FreeBSD, using either VGL or SDL library, and Linux using
SDL library.
Warzone 2100 is a real-time strategy game, developed by Pumpkin Studios and
published by Eidos-Interactive. Although comparable to Earth2150 in many
significant respects, it does contain aspects that are unique. These include
various radar technologies, a greater focus on artillery and counter-battery
technologies, more frequent in-game cinematic updates as gameplay progress, as
well as a different vehicle design method. It was released in 1999 for both PC
and Playstation.
In late 2004 warzone was released by its copyright holders, Eidos-Interactive,
to the public under the GNU General Public License (GPL), and the Warzone 2100
Resurrection Project was born.
Killbots is a simple game of evading killer robots. Who created
the robots and why they have been programmed to destroy, no one
knows. All that is known is that the robots are numerous and their
sole objective is to destroy you. Fortunately for you, their creator
has focused on quantity rather than quality and as a result the
robots are severely lacking in intelligence. Your superior wit and
a fancy teleportation device are your only weapons against the
never- ending stream of mindless automatons.
Phalanx is a chess playing program. Phalanx is xboard compatible.
Running with xboard: 'xboard -fcp phalanx'. Note that permanent
brain (pondering) is off by default. Newer versions of xboard set
it on with the 'hard' command. If this does not work, try 'xboard
-fcp "phalanx -p+"' or (for <4.0.0 versions of xboard) change your
initString (see Xboard documentation for details). It's better to
stop permanent brain in both programs, when playing Phalanx against
another program on a machine with one CPU.
It's also possible to run phalanx without xboard. Do "phalanx -h"
to get a list of command line options. One important command of
phalanx's ASCII interface is "help".
pMARS (portable Memory Array Redcode Simulator) is a corewar interpreter with
multi-platform support.
pMARS implements the ICWS'94 draft standard, but can also be used in ICWS'88
mode.
The base system includes a graphical core display for UNIX (curses, X11 and
Linux svgalib), PC/DOS, and the Mac.
A line-oriented debugger is included to help in writing warriors.

QStat is a command-line program that displays real-time information about
Internet game servers. The servers can be either down, non-responding, or
running a game. For servers running a game, the server name, map name,
current number of players, and response time are displayed. Server rules
and player information may also be displayed. It can output templates for
automatic HTML generation, and also has raw display mode for integration
with custom server browsers. Incomplete list of supported games includes:
- old Quake (NetQuake)
- QuakeWorld
- Hexen II
- HexenWorld
- Quake II
- Unreal
- Half-Life 2
- Half-Life
- Doom III
- Warsow
- Tremulous
