Raspberry Pi Games: Currency Traders |
vote
 |
|
You can now run Currency Traders on your Raspberry Pi. It is very efficient, taking only 2.2% of the RAM on a 512MB Pi and about 1/200th of the CPU. More CPU is used as more players are online, but it should support perhaps 100 concurrent players on a normal Pi.
The quick installation is four steps, described in a readme file. The game is a single binary that was compiled and tested on Raspbian Wheezy. A statically-linked version is available for other Linuxes.
Scroll to the bottom of the TEOTWAWKIgames.com page for the Raspberry Pi information and download links.

Free multiplayer, real-time, text-based Internet strategy game starting now (Currency Traders) |
vote
|
|
Update 1Feb2012: The Space Tyrant test game has been replaced by the recent derivative, 'Currency Traders' which is starting up now. The new game is scheduled to run indefinitely. However, due to the nature of new software, it may still suffer a reset at some point in the future. The game runs at TEOTWAWKIgames.com.
The game has just begun -- but late starters aren't at a disadvantage since they are given as much accumulated fuel as they would have gotten starting from the first minute.
Space Tyrant is a text-based strategy game in the Trade Wars tradition but based on a completely different evolutionary line. It is only playable via telnet (click this link for connection URL: [Space Tyrant online multiplayer strategy game])
There are no system requirements or clients required; just a terminal window and your built-in telnet client. Just click the telnet link on the above-linked page and your system should spawn a telnet window. You may have to increase the window size to your liking, but otherwise, that's all you'll need to do.
Once connected, choose a character name (spaces are allowed) and a password and you'll be sitting in some random sector of space in your newly-issued starship.
Press a number key (1-6) to move to one of the sectors connected to the sector you're in. Or, press C to have your on-board ship computer compute you an optimal trading move.
Congratulations! You've just earned your first few microbots, the currency of Space Tyrant. Microbots can be used to buy fighters, cargo holds, and other ship upgrades from TradingPosts, of which there is always one in sector 1. They can also be used to build defensive Starbases for guarding a sector and hiding your ship.
This new test game consists of five 8000-sector galaxies. Everyone starts in a random sector of Galaxy #1, an elliptical galaxy of all one-way connections. Access to other galaxies are through SpacePorts, of which only one, in sector 1464, is publicly known.
Each starship is issued a limited amount of fuel per day and you can play at any time. By creating multiple characters, you can operate up to five ships -- and you can put them all in a single team to share resources such as starbases and deployed fighters for mutual protection.
There is an in-game radio system to communicate with other players and each team gets a private team channel, as well.
There are three main approaches to strategy in Space Tyrant.
A) You can specialize in economics, understanding and exploiting the economy better than your opponents.
B) Alternatively, if you find yourself losing to better traders than yourself, you can use a military strategy. Destroying a starship or two can quickly change the balance of the game.
C) And, the third major approach, the political; organize a powerful team of players to control and dominate a key galaxy or two giving you and your teammates the advantage on both the economic and military fronts.
It's free and there is no 20-questions or even email nonsense required to play. Just anonymously choose a name and you're in!
Like any game, it takes a little time to get the feel for it, but, unlike many modern games, it's not overly complicated. read more... |

Currency Traders Internet Game |
vote
|

Update 1Feb2012: A new test game has begun and is now starting and is scheduled to run indefinitely. The nature of new software, of course, means it is subject to unplanned resets if significant problems develop, but it appears to be off to a solid start. Click one of the links below to read more or log in.
Currency Traders is a brand new, free online strategy game that is played with a telnet client. Every modern operating system includes telnet so you don't need anything else to play.
The link above points to the web page which has a brief introduction and a game link. The game is played in a persistent world somewhat resembling the post-TEOTWAWKI United States. You'll start out in post-apocalyptic Los Angeles but will have the option to travel to other cities if you don't like LA.
There are no graphics and no specialized clients required so virtually any Internet-connected computer is sufficient to play. There are no ads and nothing to buy.
[This is a test game of 5 cities, each of which is composed of 8000 city blocks. It is under development but this 40,000-city block game is thought to be a 'small' game. We shall see...]
[Updaate: The test game has been increased to 100,000 blocks and 11 cities.] read more... |

PlayStation3 The Most Powerful Gaming Console in the Planet
Generally Gaming consoles are designed so that foreign systems can't run on them, but PS3 goes in the total opposite direction, allowing an experienced Linux user to personalize their system. Most gaming systems are locked so that other systems can't be run, so PS3 is unconventional in allowing this.
What's really cool about the Playstation 3 is that it's the same processor used in some of the high end IBM systems. That means you can use the PS3 as a Fun, Game Playing console as well as the front end of super computing systems for larger performance like ,Game development, Internet programs, Open Office, Movies and other type of functionality we have in our Desktops.The only thing you can't do on the PS3 is run accelerated graphics.
Benefits Of Using Linux Operating System on PS3
PS3 comes with its own operating system that enables you to surf through its interface and play games on your PS3. In addition to the games you can also run an entire Linux Operating system.
Linux operating system will allow you to play Movies, MP3, PC applications, development tools, Internet programs, web browsers - most applications that are found in usual Desktop PCs. read more... |

Sitemap Design |
vote
|
|
Any smart web designer starts a new project by creating sitemaps and flowcharts. Sitemaps help users navigate a site more easily and they can help with search engine optimization efforts.
A sitemap is essentially an index of all of the pages contained within a given website. The information contained within most sitemaps isn't very complicated and typically doesn't require many sophisticated design elements. Because of this, many designers choose to haphazardly create their own sitemaps by using programs such as Illustrator, InDesign and Excel. These programs are excellent tools when used for their intended purposes, but they aren't meant to be used for creating flowcharts and sitemaps and thus make the process more difficult than it needs to be.
When creating sitemaps and flowcharts, the best option for designers is to use programs found on the web that are specifically created to function as sitemap and flowchart generators. Some sitemap design programs are even completely free of charge and very high in quality.
SlickPlan is one such program. SlickPlan is a web-based sitemap/flowchart generator that allows for the creation of free sitemap and flowchart design. SlickPlan is different from other similar programs found on the web because its only function is to provide a professional flowchart/sitemap design service at no cost to its users.
SlickPlan enables its users to simply and efficiently perform the following tasks:
Create unlimited sitemaps
Send HTML sitemap links to clients instantly
Export sitemaps as PDF files
Organize unlimited sitemap projects neatly and easily
SlickPlan was developed by the professional, experienced Ohio website design team, Atomic Interactive, with the web designer and developer in mind. But the program is set up in such a way that it can be easily used by amateurs as well as professionals. read more... |
