109 giochi vari d’azione per Linux (prima parte).


Linux, come tutti i sistemi Unix, è ben noto per le sue potenzialità di rete. Tutti sanno che una rete o un web server basati su Linux sono un'ottima soluzione, economica, affidabile, e che non necessita di hardware troppo potente; ciò ha fatto di questo sistema operativo una presenza importante nel settore dei server. 

Tuttavia, negli ultimi tempi, Linux pare aver avanzato la sua candidatura anche quale sistema operativo per desktop, per sistemi, insomma, personali. 

Effettivamente le caratteristiche di velocità ed affidabilità (senza dimenticare il costo - o meglio, la mancanza di esso) di questo Unix ne fanno un concorrente temibile per ogni altro sistema operativo commerciale; i pregi sembrano essere maggiori dei difetti, il principale dei quali sembra essere, secondo i detrattori di Linux, la mancanza di applicazioni. 

Se può essere facilmente smentito che manchino applicativi di produttività generale o scientifici, è purtroppo vero che il settore videoludico del Linux è molto lacunoso. 





Vediamo un po' di esempi per esaminare meglio qual è la situazione attuale e quali sviluppi vi potranno essere in seguito.

Per chi utilizza Linux (ma non solo) il nome Frozen Bubble non è un mistero.
Si tratta di un gioco simile in tutto e per tutto a Puzzle Bubble (l'unico cambiamento è che al posto dei draghetti "sparabolle" ci sono due simpatici pinguini). Lo scopo è quello di creare gruppi da almeno tre bolle dello stesso colore così da poterle eliminare tutte, tre per volta, nel tempo limite. Il tempo, infatti, è scandito da un soffitto particolarmente pericolante, al quale sono appese le bolle colorate, che continua a scendere imperterrito fino a quando non lo si libera dal peso di tutte le bolle, momento in cui viene dichiarata la vittoria. Un gioco sulla scia di Tetris, di quelli che rimangono nel tempo senza sentire gli anni. Divertiva i più piccoli in salagiochi una volta, rallegra i tempi morti dei più grandi oggi. Frozen Bubble, open source e disponibile anche per altri sistemi, è uno dei giochi più riusciti per Symbian, con una grafica gradevole.


http://linuxgiochi.blogspot.com.ar/2013/04/penumbra-overture-e-un-videogioco-d.html
Penumbra: Overture è un videogioco d'avventura, prodotto dalla società svedese Frictional Games nel 2007 tratto dall'omonimo romanzo di H.P. Lovecraft (ai tempi noto come Lux Tenebras). Si tratta di un gioco a tema Survival horror, primo di una serie originariamente pensata come trilogia, nota come Penumbra; con l'annuncio del secondo episodio, Penumbra: Black Plague, è stato dichiarato che la questo sarebbe stato il capitolo finale. Tuttavia, ne venne pubblicata un'espansione, Penumbra: Requiem, per fornire alla serie un terzo capitolo, anche se questa non prosegue la storia in alcun modo.


http://linuxgiochi.blogspot.com.ar/2014/05/2pong-e-un-simulatore-di-ping-pong.html
PONG è uno dei primi videogiochi commercializzati. Si trattava di un simulatore di ping-pong (da cui il nome "PONG"), dalla grafica estremamente semplificata in bianco e nero. Il gioco è estremamente semplice. Nello schermo compaiono soltanto una pallina (in realtà quadrata) e due barrette luminescenti controllate o da un giocatore ed il computer, oppure da due giocatori in contemporanea. Lo scopo è cercare di oltrepassare la barretta avversaria con la pallina. Le prime immagini di un videogioco di ping-pong appartengono al 1966, anno nel quale un giovane ingegnere della Sanders Associates inizia a lavorare su "un progetto per un utilizzo alternativo degli apparecchi televisivi". Il progetto incontra però grosse difficoltà e la sua conclusione finirà per slittare al 1971: la Magnavox commercializza quindi il gioco prodotto dalla Sanders con il nome di Odyssey. Questo è da considerarsi l'antenato di "PONG" e la prima console della storia.
