Parallel Realities: Retro-themed Linux games
,----[ Quote ]
| The Parallel Realities website offers a
| collection of simple, mostly SDL based
| action games. They're all fairly
| lightweight and might make good boredom
| beaters on a less powerful machine, or
| failing that, a handy distraction while
| waiting for something to complete in the
| background. If amazing graphics are your
| thing, be warned that the retro styling of
| all of these games leans more towards
| nostalgic appeal than an attempt to wow.
|
| The games all worked well when operating in
| a window, something I prefer when playing a
| game under Linux. They could all be played
| via the keyboard, but worked best when used
| with a dedicated USB game controller.

5 Tools to Develop AAA Games
,----[ Quote ]
| To begin with, let us highlight the key
| functions within the game. Every time you
| run a game, a piece of software that is
| called the game engine loads itself into
| the memory. The game engine is like a
| kernel for the game. It will manage all
| resources, levels and your in-game
| progression. Everything that you see, hear
| or do, is managed by the engine. The engine
| itself is a collection of services that
| provide these capabilities.
|
| Once the engine is loaded, it uses the
| rendering subsystem to set your screen and
| start the game interfaceâlegal screens,
| intros and menu systems. Using this
| rendering and the game logic through the
| game engine, you begin your gaming
| session.Every thing that you see is taken
| care of by the rendering engine. So, we
| will look at a rendering engineâOGRE 3D to
| be specific.

| For quite a while now, Iâve been following
