| 1156 | 2009 | 2000-03-30 11:12:34 | <em>Category:</em> Puzzle<br> <em>Description:</em> Based on a word puzzle that in my local newspaper (The Advertiser). I wrote this in one night for a friend to play on black and white labtams between lectures, so the graphics are pretty crude. <p> I don't expect to do anymore with this apart from bugfixes. Porting to a toolkit like GTK-- should be rather simple and is left as an exercise to the reader :) <p> This game has no homepage. | XNineword 1.0 | new | |

| 1164 | 1350 | 2000-04-02 23:30:00 | <em>Category:</em> Under development - not yet playable<br> <em>Description:</em> Arkon is an experiment. The basic idea is that it will simulate a universe holding entities which interact with each other. The initial interpretation of this very general guideline is a starship simulation. A three-dimensional universe holds starships which can move around based on a physics-model somewhat similar to that of the universe we live in. <p> The above is just the starting point of the experiment. The development process might lead to entirely different things. One likely possibility is the move towards a game where starships battle each other, controlled by client programs which might very well be robots. <p> Development is open to anyone interested in experimenting with the possibilities of simulated universe physics, so feel free to send mail to pesco@gmx.de. | Arkon 0.9 | new |
