Modified Stratagus engine for Wyrmsun
This is abacus for X Window System. Essentially, this is a proof
by induction that a computer is more powerful than an abacus, since
a computer program can contain an abacus. (But then again, you can
simulate a computer within a computer, so what does that show).
Actually, with a real abacus, one can move more than one row at a
time with 10 fingers. But on the other hand, a real abacus does
not have the current sum displayed as an integer.

X11 block dropping game in 3 dimensions.
The grand father of this game is Tetris, its father is Blockout on
PC/DOS. The player must place 3D pieces by translations and rotations
in order to fill the game floor. The game is realtime and the speed
increases with the player skill.
From The README:
Xblackjack is a MOTIF/OLIT based tool constructed to get you ready for the
casino. It was inspired by a book called "Beat the Dealer" by Edward O.
Thorp, Ph.D. of UCLA. A number of important statistics are maintained for
display, and used by the program to implement Thorp's "Complete Point System"
(high-low system).
Beginners can learn a basic strategy which doesn't require counting. The
best strategy employs a simple card counting technique which can be used to
distinguish favorable situations. Avid players can learn to compute Thorp's
high-low index, which takes the number of unseen cards into account.
The index is used by the program to suggest a bet, indicate when you should
buy insurance, and whether you should stand or hit, etc. You can test the
strategy using a slider to control "autoplay mode". Pressing the message
button below the playing area provides hints; the current count, index
and strategy table are revealed.
XBlast is a multi-player arcade game for X11. The game
can be played with at least two players and up to six
players. It was inspired by the video/computer game
Bomberman(Dynablaster), which was to my knowledge first
programmed for NEC's PC Engine/Turbo Grafx. Other (com-
mercial) versions of the original game exist for IBM-PC,
Atari ST, Amiga, NES, GameBoy and Super NES.
XBlood fills the root window with blood.
Red, blue or green bloody window is very bad taste!
XBoing is a blockout type game where you have a paddle which you use
to bounce a ball around the game area blowing up blocks with the ball.
You win by obtaining points for each block destroyed and each level
completed. The person with the highest score wins.
