| XUltima IV | author | 2004 | Choices for installing**. 1. Ultima Arcanum PPA (as of 2014-08-01, I recommend this option for Ubuntu users) 2. Acquire and convert the RPM to DEB 3. Compile from source Check here for resources <http://xu4.sourceforge.net/download.php> Acquire the original Ultima VI, v1.01 perferred. Optionally, acquire the VGA patch. =================================================================== 1. Ultima Arcanum PPA =================================================================== $sudo apt-add-repository ppa:dallen.wilson/ultima $sudo apt-get install xu4 OR for compiling: $sudo apt-add-repository ppa:dallen.wilson/ultima $sudo apt-get source xu4 The PPA has versions for Maverick and Trusty but the package doesn't enforce these versions (may install on any version of Ubuntu). =================================================================== 2. One simple way for DEB systems is to install the dependencies and convert and install the RPM to DEB using alien in a terminal =================================================================== [code]$sudo apt-get update $sudo apt-get install alien libsdl1.2 libsdl-mixer1.2 libxml2 timidity $sudo alien -di xu4-1.0beta3-1.i386.rpm[/code] The RPM package provided by the creators will convert to deb with no problems to DEB platforms (Alien or another package converter) up to version 1.0beta2 (beta3 and beta4 fail due to dependencies). The source code will also compile easily on ubuntu systems. Dallen Wilson's Ultima Arcanum PPA has source and deb packages for Ubuntu Maverick and Trusty (which covers all version between). The Trusty build is provided daily. =================================================================== 2. How to Compile xu4 from SVN in Ubuntu (and possibly other NIXum) =================================================================== In Terminal: [code]$sudo apt-get install alien build-essential checkinstall libxml2-dev libsdl1.2-dev libsdl-mixer1.2-dev subversion timidity[/code] Acquire the latest xu4 source code: **[code]$svn co https://xu4.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/xu4 xu4[/code] These directories may need to be created first. It harms nothing to run this command anyway: [code]$sudo mkdir /usr/local/share/pixmaps /usr/local/lib/u4 /usr/local/share/applications/[/code] Enter the main xu4 source directory and build the project*: [code]$cd xu4/trunk/u4/src make clean make[/code] Use your package manager to remove any older version of xu4 you have* Now to install*: $sudo checkinstall -Dy --pkgname xu4-mybuild --arch i386 Check install will create a deb file with a name similar to xu4-mybuild_20110730_i386.deb (based on the pkgname you chose and the date of the svn) Use "--arch amd64" with checkinstall if you built for 64-bit (and are not on 64-bit, likewise "--arch i386" will build a 32-bit version). Use "-Sy" to build a Slackware package Use "-Ry" to build an RPM package Slackware and RPM have additional options that can be investigated with: $man checkinstall To get the latest xu4 again, go to the directory that contains the xu4 directory and enter*: $svn update xu4 *These steps must be done every time to compile from source. **2014 These instructions no longer work on Ubuntu 12.04 precise and must be modified. I have found no RPM that converts successfully due to additional package requirements that will not function properly after converting. **instead, use [code]$svn checkout svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/xu4/code/trunk xu4-code[/code]***The xu4 game engine is a standalone Ultima IV clone also capable of running the original or VGA patched versions of Ultima IV on a variety of platforms. It is also capable of running new RPGs. xu4 Also allows extensive modding of the graphics, enemies, items, and certain game logic. To date (2014), no totaly conversions or hacks have been created to utilized these features (I guess the developers got UIV perfect on the first try :) The full version of Ultima IV for DOS was 'made available for free download' at selected sites by Origin (subsequently purchased by Electronic Arts). However, it remains proprietary and not defined as "freeware" or "public domain" (these downloads can disappear or the priced raised at any time at Electronic Art's option). Several homebrew upgrades exist for this game that add features such as VGA graphics and Midi sound. xu4 can used these upgrades as well, or simply recreated the original DOS experience (or the Amiga experience, for that matter). The xu4 project allows this game to run on Linux, Mac OS 8, Mac OS X, Windows, and other operating systems. The Ultima series continued to innovate with the release of each game in the series. With the 4th game released for Apple ][ and then ported to IBM-PC, the genre was taken to bran new places. And now, playable on Linux. There is no evil big bad enemy to defeat, and the point of the game is not to take advantage of people to get stuff to go defeat the enemy. Rather, the point of the game is for the main character to become a champion of virtue. The goals are literally honesty, humility, honor, spirituality, valor, justice, compassion, sacrifice, courage, truth, and love. Actions, inactions, even words can have less than apparent unhelpful or helpful consequences. Yes, there are still monsters to fight and treasures to find, but this makes up less than 1/8th of the game and the care and purpose in handling these things is more important than the end result.

| BlinKen - Memory Enhancement Game | author | 2005 | KDE version of the Simon electronic memory game Blinken is based on an electronic game released in 1978, which challenges players to remember sequences of increasing length. On the face of the device, there are 4 different color buttons, each with its own distinctive sound. These buttons light up randomly, creating the sequence that the player must then recall. If the player is successful in remembering the sequence of lights in the correct order, they advance to the next stage, where an identical sequence with one extra step is presented. This package is part of the KDE education module. | labelimagesubject |
| Memonix | viewizard | 2006 | Memonix is the latest version of a wonderful collection of four brain twisters, including Mosaic, Builder, Pair and Jig-Saw. While being amazingly addictive and fun to play, these games can be used to improve your child’s memory, thinking and reaction. Five difficulty levels from normal to obscene plus the timer mean that the challenge will never run away. Joyful music and brightly-colored visuals maximize the excitement from the gameplay. In Mosaic, the player’s objective is to memorize the position of different objects such as triangles, squares, and mugs scattered on the playfield and, after short viewing, reassemble the same pattern. When the player goes one level up, the complexity of the game increases. On the easiest level, the objects are arranged symmetrically so, the player needs to remember only half of the playfield. However, on the most difficult level, the player has to memorize not only position, but color of each object. For all its seeming similarity to the previous puzzle, Builder has a slightly different objective – to view an image of a house and, then, reassemble the image by piecing up tiles with various house parts. While Builder develops child’s memory and logic thinking, the third game - Pair puts more emphasis on the development of the visual memory. Here, the player must uncover and match two similar objects on the covered playfield. In Jig-Saw, the player meets a classic jigsaw puzzle gameplay in its purest form where the objective is to reassemble a picture from scattered image tiles. Memonix features a pick-up-and-play interface that will take children little time to learn and start playing without their parents’ guidance. Another good thing about Memonix is the availability of countless add-on images for all four games. They can be downloaded online for free without even leaving the game environment. Full Version of Memonix Features:[list] [*] 10 additional pictures for Jig-Saw game; [*] 60 additional elements for Builder game; [*] 40 additional elements for Pair game; [*] 35 additional elements for Mosaic game; [*] Jig-Saw.

The ball is controled via two differentn kick buttons - one for pass, and one for shoot. Aftertouch can be applied to shots by quickly pressing and holding the direction you want the ball to bend towards. Pushing in the opposite direction to what you kicked the ball makes it raise into the air, pushing in the same direction as the ball makes it dip towards the ground. | labelimagesubject |
