* Resume: By default, gwget tries to continue any download.
* Notification: Gwget tries to use the Gnome notification area support,
if available. You can close the main window and gwget runs in the background.
* Recursivity: Gwget detects when you put a html, php, asp or a web page dir in
the url to download, and ask you to only download certain files (multimedia,
only the index, and so on).
* Drag & Drop: You can d&d a url to the main gwget window or the notification
area icon to add a new download.
Clone of the strategy board game 'Blokus'. Four players must place
as many of their 21 pieces on the board as possible while preventing
others from doing the same.
This is made difficult by the fact that a piece played by a player
must touch another of the player's pieces, but only at their corners
(a player's first piece must touch a board corner).
The game is over when no player can play any new pieces. The winner
is the player with the fewest & smallest pieces remaining. Bonus
points are awarded for playing all pieces.
Features a tweakable AI to take the place of any human players.
Unreal Tournament 2003 is a first-person shooter computer game designed mainly
for multiplayer gaming although the game had a built in single-player mode
that mimics multiplayer gaming by featuring AI-bots. The game is part of the
Unreal franchise's series of games and is a the sequel to 1999's Unreal
Tournament. Unreal II: The Awakening was released as a sister product to the
game, however, was developed for single-player only. Later, Unreal II would
receive an add-on that would enable a multiplayer mode. UT 2003 was followed
by Unreal Tournament 2004 released in March of 2004.
Freedroid is a clone of the game "Paradroid" which was released on Commodore
64 in 1985. In this game, you control a robot located within an interstellar
spaceship consisting of several decks connected by elevators.
The aim of the game is to destroy all enemy robots by either shooting them
or seizing control over them by creating connections in a short subgame
of electric circuits. The graphics are designed to be a fairly faithful
reproduction of the original game, but a modern set of tiles is also
available.
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.
glMaze is a multiplayer maze game based on the opengl 3d graphics engine.
If a command line argument is present, glmaze tries to interpret this as
the server name to connect to. If no argument was given, glmaze becomes
the master client and starts a local server. Up to six players can join
a session. Only the master client can start the session. Other players
can join a running game. The game stops when the first player reaches
ten kills. The player with the top score at this moment is the winner.
gturing is a simple turing machine simulator with
graphical interface. A Turing machine is the simplest possible
computing device which can only perform very simple operations.
However, almost everything in programming languages can be
written as a program for the Turing machine.
Of course, no one uses the Turing machine for actual computing
work, but it is very useful in theoretical computer science and
mathematical logic.
It's a nice complement for students who likes to practice with
theory and a nice toy to play with.

KHangMan is a game based on the well-known hangman game. It is aimed
at children aged six and over. The game has several categories of
words to play with, for example: animals (animals words) and three
difficulty categories: easy, medium and hard. A word is picked at
random, the letters are hidden, and you must guess the word by trying
one letter after another. Each time you guess a wrong letter, part of
a picture of a hangman is drawn. You must guess the word before being
hanged! You have 10 tries.
The game of moria is a single player dungeon simulation. A player
may choose from a number of races and classes when creating a
character, and then `run' that character over a period of days,
weeks, even months, attempting to win the game by defeating the
Balrog which lurks in the deeper levels.
The player will begin his adventure on the town level where he may
acquire supplies, weapons, armor, and magical devices by bartering
with various shop owners. After preparing for his adventure, the
player can descend into the dungeons of moria where fantastic
adventures await his coming!
Railroad Rampage is a cross between an arcade game and a strategy
game. It is similiar in construction to many "Tower Defence" games,
but it has a twist: here, you are part of the action and can affect
the game in many different ways more than just building structures.
Bandits are trying to rob your train and steal all precious cargo!
Thankfully, you are a skilled engineer who can construct many
different kinds of turrets and use them to defend your train. You
have to make it through 20 waves of relentless enemy assault before
you reach your destination, so plan ahead and devise a smart strategy
and you may survive!
