Heroes of Newerth - Charge!
,----[ Quote ]
| Linux games are many and varied. You can
| find pretty much anything you need, from
| simple arcades via racing all the way to
| expansive and elaborate tactical shooters.
| Still, one aspect of the Linux gaming scene
| is underplayed, this being the Real Time
| Strategy (RTS). For whatever reason, there's
| a lack of great strategy games for Linux.
| You will find some, but not as many as you
| would hope for.

ntris: an idea taken a step too far
,----[ Quote ]
| At the start of ntris, you could get any of
| the 29 pieces made of 1-5 squares. These
| pieces have, on average, 4.38 squares per
| piece. The board is 12 columns wide, so you
| have to clear 4.38/12 = 0.365 lines per
| drop. If you use only straight pieces to
| clear lines, you clear on average 15 lines
| every 29 pieces, or 0.517 lines per piece.
| But clearing multiple lines at a time yields
| large score bonuses, so if youâre greedy,
| youâll only clear lines when you get a 4-
| long or a 5-long. Naiively, this means that
| you only clear 9 lines every 29 pieces â
| 0.310 lines per piece â so you are bound to
| lose.
