Mini Games
Crack
Attack! Crack Attack! is based on the Super Nintendo
classic Tetris Attack. Used in single player mode, you simply try
to get the best possible score, but you can also play against other
players, either at a computer nearby or over the internet. The
use of the OpenGL library makes for some impressive, though
simple, graphics.
Sokoban YASC Sokoban YASC (Yet Another
Sokoban Clone) is a maddeningly simple game first conceived of by the
Japanese programmer Hiroyuki Imabayashi. The object of the game is to
put all of the crates in your "warehouse" into the designated storage
areas. This sounds easy enough, but there are some restrictions: You
are not allowed to pull crates, only push. You can only push one box at
a time, and you cannot pass through a box or a wall. These restrictions
turn a seemingly simple task into a delightfully difficult challenge!

LGames LBreakout is a breakout-style arcade game in the manner of Arkanoid. Use your paddle to aim a ball at bricks until all bricks are destroyed. It offers you a challenge in more than 50 levels with loads of new bonuses (goldshower, joker, explosive balls, bonus magnet ...), maluses (chaos, darkness, weak balls, malus magnet ...) and special bricks (growing bricks, explosive bricks, regenerative bricks ...). If you are hungry for more you can create your own level sets with the integrated level editor. There is also a new two player mode (via LAN) available.
I am pleased to say that this game won the No Starch Press SDL Game Contest.
Why LGames ? It stands for Linux Games, because it was originally developed for Linux, but later was ported over to Windows, so more people can enjoy it.

Celestia is a simulation of the known
universe, based on current astronomical information. It includes
beautifully rendered planets, moons, and some smaller orbital bodies
such as International Space Station. Celestia is not limited to our
solar system; you can visit other stars, or even travel outside the
galaxy, and you will find models of extra-solar planets in orbit around
remote stars. You have complete control over time and space, so you can
view the stars from your chosen location and epoch.
This program is highly recommended for use in high
school presentations, which can be set up to run through a
pre-programmed sequence. To get a good idea of Celestia's full
capabilities, start the program and press D for Demo. Celestia requires
an OpenGL-capable graphics card (which nearly all modern systems have),
and is available for Windows, Linux, and MacOS X.

As the name suggests, Really Slick
Screensavers is a collection of attractive screen savers. They are
built using the OpenGL graphics library, which results in an impressive
display on your screen, but also requires fairly up to date hardware
(we recommend a graphics card with OpenGL support and 16 MB of graphics
RAM). If you are in doubt you can always try, as the screen savers are
easy to un-install (as is every program on this CD).
This wonderful set of screen savers was created by
Terry Welsh of Sunnyvale, California in his free time. After being
contacted by Will Martin of TheOpenCD (predecessor of Qumble),
he agreed to release them under
a free software license (the GPL), which was required to meet the
criteria for inclusion on our disc. As it happens, others were just
waiting for this to happen, so they could continue its development and
will hopefully now take it to new heights! This is a great example of
Open Source dynamics at work, and a demonstration how *you* could
affect the direction of other projects in our community.
