Open Source Linux Simulation Games

sims3tools provides a set of tools for the Sims3 modder, based around the s3pi library. It includes: a package editor (s3pe), which allows most useful resources to be edited; an Object / CAS Part cloner (s3oc) for creating a base for modifications; a sims3pack packer/unpacker (s3su), which simplifies handling the content of these files; a string table editor (s3se) for allowing string table resources to be efficiently edited; plus a number of additional utilities. Note that development on sims3tools has now finished.

"Sims 3 Package Interface" provides a core library of portable code that "understands" Sims3 game packages. Note that (with some minor tweaks) the core library code also understands other game package formats (e.g. SimCity Online, Sims4). Along with the core library are a number of "wrappers" that provide the main part of the project. These handle deserialization and serialization of data within the package (or any other source). Further tools (not supplied here) can use the core library and wrappers to manipulate the data content of package files. Note that development on this library and wrappers provided here has now finished.

XCSoar is a tactical glide computer for Android, Linux, macOS, and Windows.

This is a great game that works as a BBS door (JavaScript version). The C# version is precompiled for Ubuntu Linux...

The Multi-Simulator Interface (MSI) is a simulation interconnection engine. It connects simulations by synchronizing their clocks and data. It is a light-weight HLA alternative.

Netrek is a multiplayer battle simulation game with a Star Trek theme. Up to 16 players are divided into two teams that fight each other for dominion over the galaxy.

In 1997, Peter A. Peterson II held a contest for his now-defunct Nerth Pork magazine. The goal: come up with the best piece of art entitled "robotfindskitten". Leonard Richardson submitted the winning (read: only) entry, a Zen Simulation.

JavaArena is a java based game where two or more "bots" have its own artificial intelligence and go for the battle. Support for capture the flag coming soon.

«Rock-Paper-Scissors» is a hand game originating in China, usually played between two or three people, in which each player simultaneously forms one of three shapes with an outstretched hand. These shapes are «rock» (a closed fist), «paper» (a flat hand), and «scissors» (a fist with the index finger and middle finger extended, forming a V). A simultaneous, zero-sum game, it has three possible outcomes: a draw, a loss, or a win.

A simple first person shooter of blowing up asteroids in 3D space. The codebase also serves as an introduction to trigonometry and OpenGL.

CTruck 2D is a 2D, oldstyle, physically realistic 2D truck game. Predecessor of the CTruck3D vehicle simulator series. I wrote it from zero in C (+OpenGL&GLUT). It has ascii-art and nice graphics version, and a special funny version It's a very basic thing: there are free rigid bodies and springs with strong attenuation/damping. It's very simple and very short code, and collisions of bodies with ground are good and stable. A good simulation of this kind, however requires Lagrangian method. I proposed the Lagrange_motocross as an alternative of this kind. The code is not much longer but the it's overall more complicated, and collisions are a bad issue.

update: https://sourceforge.net/projects/newctruck3drally/ It's a 3D, physically realistic truck/car simulator, oriented to dirt tracks. This is subsancially kept as hystorical. The environment is a hilly terrain which can also be user-defined in the form of a Bitmap image file (where intensity of red component defines height). It's similar to the classic "Terep 2". Particular care for internal cam. Written in standard C. There's a Windows executable ready for use, but it's compilable and playable on all Linux, BSD, MacOSX systems. Official VIDEO presentation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B74QvPGyBYM The physical simulation was written from 0 of course, so no external 'third-party' libraries are used; except GLUT+OpenGL for the graphical visualisation & good interactivity.

Virtual machine/emulator; "holding pen" for self-replicating programs written in custom RISC assembly-like language, evolving via random point mutations and periodic fitness-based cullings. Inspired (like Avida) by Thomas Ray's alife simulator, Tierra

FOne is a web based Formula One manager simulator

Fractured Crystal Inventory

HyperNoids is a simple retro shoot-em up. It's written in C/C++ with the allegro game programming library. For windows and linux, although the Windows port is less stable.

Simulates a biologically diverse tropical island, and the ape inhabitants cognitive processes. For MacOS X, iPad, Windows and Linux. Features a non-polygonal graphics engine and a command-line version

A java applet for animating Ultimate plays

Soul Ride -- a physics-based snowboarding sim, with an advanced terrain engine designed for rendering real-world locations.

TNF2 is based loosely on the original game TNF (The New Frontiers) http://www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/Castle/2979/ written and designed by Jerry Revell Jerry@starchase.demon.co.uk. Simply put the game is about space colonization. Each player runs a

A truck/car simulator,with realistic physics and oldstyle graphics: it displays pixels through the SDL graphics routines, or the X11 if using that version (has some issues:so use the SDL ver).While the 3D graphics is done by the program itself without external libraries.The environment is a hilly terrain:total freedom to drive around.A remake of the classic "Terep 2". Written in the C programming language: although the code is 30 pages long, it's simple. Trailer can be detouched pressming 'l' (minuscle ELL) so to drive a normal car. There's an OpenGL version too: see the CTruck3D _Open,and an ASCII-Art ver (Term_ CTruck3D). This is also a good dydactical software: code is easy to undersand,and drawing procedures and physics sim procedure are written from 0 so it's clearly understandable how a complete 3D game is done in C, starting from a blank page of any plain text editor.Only basic knowledge of C was used.

A simulated Artificial Intelligence IRC script for use with Eggdrop with many options and features and high configurability, multi-language support, grammar checker, and now with theme support! Database support is up-coming.

a collection of small and medium-sized simulation programs that I made explicitely for dydactic and/or documentation purposes. Browse the files, don't click on widnload because there are multiple zips!! All are related to rigidbody dynamics used to make vehicle simulators in the simplest way. Other types of programs may figure too: Snake or Tetris in C for showing the C programming style opted for the other, more specific programs. Possibly this is a link for supplying material to some Wiki articles related to videogames and gamep-physics.

the ASCII-art variant of the CTruck3D car simulator series by Simon Hasur : a physically very realistic offroad driving simulator (rally ) in which one can drive in total freedom on a piece of terrain, make jumps, turn upside down and whatever ; see CTruck3D _Open and XCTruck3D _Truck for more detailes. this is a variant which displays graphics using only ASCII characters. This is quite instructive as software, expecially if taken in conjuction with the pure X Window System version: in both cases the 3D frames representing what happens are done internally by the program, using basic concepts form 3D computational graphics. Stanrd C as all the optehr memeberso of the series. it come in 2 subversions: Linux and Windows. for the Windows version there is a ready executable too.
