I haven't tried either one of these, but particularly spring looks very interesting:
spring - http://spring.clan-sy.com/

Ebuilds can be found here or at BerliOS.


Ah thanks. I installed it, but it look to need mods. Unsure how to use them.

You can use layman to get arcon-portage (the ebuild is there) or get it here.

funguloids - http://www.mhgames.cjb.net/

I've made an ebuild, but I had some OGRE issues (with my old gpu) and don't remember if it works fine. It also needs ois and fmodex. If You can compile it and it works, I will add it to arcon-portage.

::edit::
Ok, I've corrected the ebuild. It compiles fine for me, but still there is some OGRE bug for old GPU. Test it if You can, everything to do that is now in arcon-portage


Unsure just what I need to do to add the arcon overlay. I edited layman.cfg but:
Code:
* Overlay "arcon-portage" does not exist!

I didn't use svn in the above step, nor edit my make.conf. I'm unsure about adding another overlay. Bummer.

Check if the overlay is on layman list (layman -L), and if not, You can try layman -Lk. It should be there with -k, so just add it. (-:

If not, I've made a "snapshot" of my overlay, You can download it and unpack whatever You want.

Hello list,

i have just posted 2 Freeorion ebuilds in gentoo bugzilla #59212 , one with gigi integrated and the other without it.

Remember to launch the game from the /usr/share/games/freeorion directory. Otherwise freeorion is
unable to find its font files or you need to copy them in your home directory and that's not clean. I let a more courageous gamer to improve and debug the SConstruct file ;)


Code:
cd /usr/share/games/freeorion
freeorion -g

http://golly.sourceforge.net/

Golly is a Game of life simulator, which uses the Hashlife algorithm.
This makes it probably one of the fastest simulators avalible.

the problem is, that it uses some very strange buildsystem and dependencies, which makes it complicated to write an ebuild for it.

It depends on wxGTK but it isn't specified on what version. I have 2.6.x and it doesn't compile, maybe it should be 2.8.x version.

In other news, I've made an ebuild for Paintown, happy gaming/testing (availible from overlay in signature ;-)

Throw away Skulltag, and get the Odamex ebuild :twisted: (just kidding, thanks anyway to Skulltag devs for their work 8) )

Odamex: Free and Open Source multiplayer Doom engine

It run on a lot of platforms, and its sources are available under the GPL-2 license.

You can fetch the Odamex ebuild here.

Happy fragging! :twisted:

Tile Racer

3D Stunt Racing Game

Tile Racer (formerly known as "Stunts Remake") is a freeware 3D stunt racing game which features realistic car physics and an in game track editor to create new maps to race on.
At the moment the players are able to race for the best lap time but a hotseat splitscreen mode and an AI enemy to race against are in the works.
The game was started as an university project by two students and is now being further developed and maintained by them even after graduation.

* Also features: Complex car physics
* Challenging "story mode"
* LAN and Internet mode
* Live scores
* Track editor
* Dedicated server with HTTP interface
* More than 30 blocks - Full soundtrack

Car racing simulation

Racer is a very open car simulator, meaning the usage of files for cars, tracks, scenes etc. are all documented, or at least should be, and can be fairly easily be created without the need for proprietary editors.

Beside that, it attempts to do well at the physics section, trying to create life-like cars to emphasize car control and doesn't cut back on realism in the interest of fun. If you've played Grand Prix Legends from Papyrus, you'll know what I'm talking about.
