| GAME (Geometrical Ascii Multigame Environment)
http://sourceforge.net/projects/game/
is a new C language framework for creating geometrical games using
ncurses text screens. Created in unix platforms, but can be ported to
more systems, because it uses standar ansi C.
No graphics, no directX, no render, no complex libraries, and the simple
and good text mode, ideal to learn and to create good games or to essay
new game ideas.
The GAME framework serve to create ASCII games. In a simple ascii
screen, with full color support, with collision detection, with
attractors, with variable map forms per object, with snake-like objects,
all in the same framework. Now its working, but in alfa phase. We are
cleaning the code and adding more functions and tests.
We think is a good platform to develop totaly new games (remember
Tetris?) without the graphic complexity required for "actual" games.
We love the GOOD games, not special effects.
TODO:
-Tests, tests, tests, tests... and more tests
-Network support
-AI algorithms
-Better color support
-A language
-A map editor
-Adapt old games
-Create NEW games
-Multi-level, multi-map, multi-?? spaces
-Keep it simple
Want to simplify your life?
Want to return to simple, direct and clear procedural word?
Want to return to "the cells"?
Help us!
