3110 glife games 1116 glife In traditional Conway's Life, the first thing people like to do is place a few random dots on the field and watch what happens. That's the first thing I tried with gLife. It doesn't seem to allow that. Thus, it wasn't very fun for me to just watch a randomly generated population, with little interaction on my part. 2001-01-07 19:37:52 0
3111 Hex games 1116 Hex I concur with the earlier comment that it needs work. The turret was almost impossible to see, and sometimes it looks like the balls don't follow a straight path. Fix that and add some levels and it'd be a neat little game. 2001-01-07 19:43:02 0
3112 TicTacTic games -1 TicTacTic Nice to see a game in CAML ! CAML (rather OCAML for Objective CAML) is a very cool functional language : http://pauillac.inria.fr/caml/ 2001-01-08 16:41:56 0
3113 VidSlide games 1116 VidSlide I like the idea of this -- it's harder than it looks! But it segfaults on me at the end of the MPG. I figure it should probably loop or something. 2001-01-08 17:38:44 0
3114 GSokoban games 1116 GSokoban A typical variant of the old "push the blocks through the maze" game. Basic graphics. Needs a "hook" of some sort. Maybe some animation, or more interesting character? 2001-01-08 19:17:48 0
3115 ZAngband games 4396 ZAngband This game is addictive. It compiles easily in Linux (there are instructions at http://www.zangband.org for the compiling impaired). One thing the description here doesn't mention is that this flavor of Angband incorporates elements from Roger Zelazny's Amber novels, rather than the Tolkien stuff (there are still a few Tolkienisms though...). 2001-01-08 22:10:03 0
3116 Solo Cards - A collection of solitaire card games games -1 Solo Cards - A colle As a Java programmer you should know that you can run any JAR file using the -jar option of the java command. 2001-01-09 06:53:45 0
3117 GSokoban games -1 GSokoban The latest version has some new themes. This one is more attractive than that shown above: http://home.swipnet.se/darshiva/gsokoban/screenshots/budge.png 2001-01-09 06:55:49 0
3118 Blackbox games 4 Blackbox Nice variant of the game. The graphics could perhaps be improved (although you really can't do much in a game like this). 2001-01-10 12:33:12 0
3119 Scorched Earth 2000 games 1116 Scorched Earth 2000 Nice translation from the original, which wasn't about graphics, but about interesting game play and funky weapons. The applet seemed to hang my browser, but I'll blame Netscape for that. 2001-01-10 19:06:42 0
