Scavenger is like Lode Runner. You've got to run around gathering objects while avoiding enemies. You can dig down through some of the blocks to get at buried objects. After you've collected everything, ladders may appear. To finish the level you've got to exit through the top of the screen. If an enemy falls into a dug brick, he is stunned for a while. If the brick fills in with him in it, he is killed, and he will reappear at the top of the screen. This version has a level editor for designing your own levels, and a graphics editor for drawing your own artwork.

XScorch is a clone of the olden-days DOS game "Scorch". It is an extremely addictive war game where any mixture of humans and computer AIs control separate tanks (teams are 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.

To run: Simply type xscrabble. This will bring up the setup box which will allow you to enter the names and displays and other info for the game to wish to play. Then click on the Start Game button, (or Load Previous if you're restarting a game). The main program, xscrab, will then be automatically called with the appropriate options. The game is saved after every turn (in "~/.xscrabble.save" of the person running it) and can be restarted by running xscrabble, entering exactly the same info, and hitting the Load Previous button. This was a student project, and there are not likely to be any future releases. Have fun, Matt Chapman.
