Each player controls a team of several hedgehogs. During the course
of the game, players take turns with one of their hedgehogs. They
then use whatever tools and weapons are available to attack and
kill the opponents' hedgehogs, thereby winning the game. Hedgehogs
may move around the terrain in a variety of ways, normally by walking
and jumping but also by using particular tools such as the "Rope"
or "Parachute", to move to otherwise inaccessible areas. Each turn
is time-limited to ensure that players do not hold up the game with
excessive thinking or moving.

A large variety of tools and weapons are available for players
during the game: Grenade, Cluster Bomb, Bazooka, UFO, Shotgun,
Desert Eagle, Fire Punch, Baseball Bat, Dynamite, Mine, Rope,
Pneumatic pick, Parachute. Most weapons, when used, cause explosions
that deform the terrain, removing circular chunks. The landscape
is an island floating on a body of water, or a restricted cave with
water at the bottom. A hedgehog dies when it enters the water (either
by falling off the island, or through a hole in the bottom of it),
it is thrown off either side of the arena or when its health is
reduced, typically from contact with explosions, to zero (the damage
dealt to the attacked hedgehog or hedgehogs after a player's or CPU
turn is shown only when all movement on the battlefield has ceased).

visions) are available - press F1 for how to use.

It has a few more user friendly options (in the ~/blackshades.config
file) as well as a help menu. Aside from that the internals have
had some major changes, but there is still a lot more to do. Other
options include 3rd person (which was in the original game, just
disabled). The other change that I enjoy is the lack of a busy loop

Anki is a program designed to help you remember facts (such as words and
phrases in a foreign language) as easily, quickly and efficiently as possible.
To do this, it tracks how well you remember each fact, and uses that
information to optimally schedule review times. With a minimal amount of
effort, you can greatly increase the amount of material you remember, making
study more productive, and more fun.

While Anki can be used for studying anything, it also ships with special
features designed to make studying Japanese and English easier: integrated
dictionary lookups, missing kanji reports, and more. Sample decks are also
provided for Russian.

py-anki is a library based on a theory called spaced repetition. In

Species is a corewars evolver. It is a program to generates corewars warriors
using genetic algorithms. This is the program which generated the best evolved
warrior in the recent Multi-Manics corewars competition. Contemporaries
include YACE, RedRace, Red Maker and CCAI.

Species is definitely the most over-engineered, complicated and buggy Corewars
Evolver on the freeware market today!

CRE, which stands for Corewars Redcode Evolver, is an open-source program that
automatically generates programs for the game Corewars by using Charles
Darwin's theories on natural selection. When you start CRE, here's what
happens:

1. A population of warriors is created by randomly selecting instructions.
2. Each warrior's fitness is tested by battling with other warriors in the
   population.
3. The fittest warriors reproduce and replace less fit warriors.
4. The previous two steps are repeated indefinitely.

PTools version 1.1.

This is a collection of utility programs for the game of Core War. The
programs in this archive work well with the pMARS system, but most programs
will also work with other simulators. Below is an overview of what we have:

* mts      - Short for "MARS Tournament Scheduler".
* mopt     - The "multiple optimizer" calculates optimal sets of constants for
             warriors.
* pname    - pname renames warrior files based on the ;name line.

These additional tools have been included in the port but are not part of the
original ptools package:

* p3-2     - For generating p^3 redcode snippets.
* corestep - For finding optimal step constants (similar to mopt).

Note that the port prefixes all of these programs with "ptools-" to avoid
conflicts and/or confusions with other ports.

There can be up to 6 planes, at most two human-controlled. All

You must shoot at another's planes, destroy others' base and try

World of Padman (WoP) is an open source first-person shooter computer game
available in both English and German. Originally it was a modification for the
game Quake III Arena titled PadMod created in the year 2004. After the source
code for Quake III Arena was released, the game became standalone. The idea is
based on the Padman comic strip for the magazine PlayStation Games created by
the professional cartoon artist Andreas 'ENTE' Endres, who is also the man who
made many of the maps included with the game in 1998. The current version runs
on an enhanced version of the ioquake3 engine, which is based on the Quake III
Arena engine. Most of the maps in the game are lilliput style, and have a
commercial-quality level of graphic complexity. Because it was originally a
mod for Quake III Arena, most of the gameplay is similar. However, there is no
Capture the Flag mode in World of Padman. World of Padman fully supports bots
with a variety of skill levels in both online and offline play for all of the
game types included. A single-player mode has not yet been implemented.
Players can also record audio and video as they play. The game fully supports
modifications, and custom maps can be created.

Legends is a fast-paced first-person-perspective online multiplayer game
released as freeware (software license). The game is designed to take
advantage of the beautiful environments available from the Torque engine it is
based on, while still offering the breakneck pacing and variety of styles
available from such classics as Quake and Tribes.

Gameplay is not the strafe-strafe-jump-strafe-shoot-strafe-run-like-hell style
a lot of games espouse; the addition of a jetpack adds a third dimension of
mobility that makes skill, forethought, and restraint necessities to winning.

Team sizes are ideal between 10 and 15 on each side, and the network code
allows 56k upwards to play smoothly. Game type offerings range from the
classic Capture the Flag, Deathmatch and Duel to our own new types, e.g..
'War'.

Plenty of maps are provided by us, but the beauty of this game is its
customization possibilities. Mission creation has never been easier, with a
stable, full-featured editor integrated into the game engine itself. Skins,
models, and effects can all be modified by the end-user with commonly
available tools. The game has an Autodownload feature which means you never
have to leave the game to join new user created Client-Side and Server-Side
missions.
