Games

A collection of games that demonstrate various technologies. Note, if you are using windows, you will need to compile them. I would recommend using MinGW, bloodshed or some type of gcc based compiler. *nix/Linux, or MacOSX(with dev tools) shouldn't have a problem.

SpearFall/Spacefall (SDL/OpenGL)

This is a project to create an OpenGL FPS, RPG. I started with Nehe's OpenGL tutorials(particularly #10). You can navigate an ASCII map, which is rendered in OpenGL with primitive, texture-mapped shapes. An alternate version, is a space game where you can navigate space with a few planets.

Caveman Culture (Python/Pygame)

A study of Python and Pygame. This is a game which creates a random map with various cavemen running around. The cavemen and animals are selectable, but there is no other action possible *yet*. This program also uses no images at all! All items are drawn via squares. Press Escape to exit. Requires python(2.x), and pygame.

tcsud (Python)

A study of Python and string parsing. This game can best be described as a single player mud. You can create your character, select class/race/etc. You move about the map by typeing n/e/s/w. You can talk to people, and gather topics, and mention thos topics to others. The game has a working turn-based combat system(but doesnt lock you into combat). You also have the ability to level up. The game is not finished, and lacks more locations. Note, starting as a dwarf takes you to a different location that the default :)

Note: there are no screens, but the game looks like this. player typing italics.
