Xjewel is a dropping block game akin to tetris.
It is played by controlling the motion of blocks which continue to fall from
the top of the screen. One can move them left and right, as well as
rotate the jewel segments. The object is to get the most points before
the grim reaper ends the fun.
Death happens when the screen is no longer capable of holding any more
blocks. To make high scores more interesting, you are given but three
attempts to get points -- use them wisely.
As the game progresses, and more jewels are removed, the speed of the game
will increase. This is measured in seconds of delay between steps of
block motion.
X Labyrinth is a labyrinth game under X11 that is played
directly with the mouse pointer: the walls block the pointer's
movement on the screen.
The goal of the game is to retrieve the four colored squares:
to retrieve a square, it is sufficient to move the pointer over
it, and it will disappear. However, to make things more
infuriating, the squares have to be taken in the following
order: red, yellow, green and blue. When the blue square is
obtained, the game is won.
XAtaxx is a strategy game based on Ataxx, a popular arcade video game.
It is a game of position and movement. The object is to have the most
pieces of your color on the board at the end of the game.
Yet again, the fate of the world rests in your hands! An evil computer hacker,
known only by his handle 'Lennart', has created the ultimate computer virus. A
virus so powerful that it has the power to transmute an ordinary computer into
a toaster oven. (oooh!) 'Lennart' has cloned himself into a billion-jillion
micro-Lenns. Their sole purpose is to deliver the nefarious virus, which has
been cleverly diguised as a popularinit system.
As System Administrator/Exterminator, your job is to keep Lennart from
succeeding at his task.
xlife is an X implementation of John Horton Conway's Game of Life.
xbill is a game for Bill-haters. Ah, the escasy to squish the evil Bill

XLogical is an action/puzzle game based on the classic
game Logical from Rainbow Arts.
The computer calculates a combination of five characters (each between
A and J) and you have to try to find out the combination the computer
has calculated. Your questions to the computer are also combinations of
five characters (each between A and J).
You get sets of black and/or white blocks as answers to your questions.
If you get a black block as answer it means that there is one character
in your try at the correct position (but you don't know which one it
is).
If you get a white block as answer it means that there is a character in
your guess that also occurs in the solution, but at another position
(but you don't know which one it is and at which position it would be
correct).
xmine is an X11-based version of the popular PC game Minesweeper. The
object is to place flags on mines on the game board without exposing
them.
xmine is freely redistributable. It's mostly Xlib-based, but it
requires Motif libraries for the menus.
===
This version of xmine is based on Paul Falstad's version 1.0.3, as
published in comp.sources.x. It has been heavily munged to work
without OSF/Motif.
Since the game itself has some 3D look, linking against the famous
Xaw3d library is highly recommended.
X-Moto is a challenging 2D motocross platform game, where physics play an all
important role in the gameplay. You need to control your bike to its limit, if
you want to have a chance finishing the more difficult of the challenges.
