Package List

Xboing - Blockout clone

XBoing is a blockout type game where you have a paddle which you control to bounce a ball around the game zone destroying blocks with a proton ball.

Each block carries a different point value. The more blocks you destroy, the better your score. The person with the highest score wins.

The arena is filled with blocks and other objects. You have a paddle that can move from left to right at the bottom of the arena. You control the paddle so that the proton ball bounces around blowing up blocks and that it does not go past the paddle and out the bottom, much like a pinball game.

X11 Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator

X-Mame the UNIX/X11 port of Mame project.
It makes Mame arcade emulator available on *ix machines using the X11R6 X-Window system ( and Linux ones using SVGAlib too )

Mame is a virtual machine emulator: it includes a Z80, 6502 and lastly I86 uP emulators, joined to several arcade machine hardware emulators. Each arcade emulator contains a full description about hardware, mem maps, video, sounds and so, making possible that if you have original ROM images of a supported arcade game, you can play the game.

You NEED the rom images to play a game: this is not a game emulator, just an arcade machine one.

Mame is an Idea of Nicola Salmoria.
X-Mame Primary work thanks to Dick the Ridder and Allard Van Der Bas

X-window pool game

With the current setup, we have two sets of balls, first set is ball # 1-7, second set is ball # 9-15. whoever gets his/her balls in first and then gets the black ball in last wins. We do not have automatic scoring right now, so whoever wins is supposed to increase his/her score by clicking on his/her + color button.

If you want to see where your ball will go, click on Cheat button to get a trajectory of your shot. The cue stick length determines the hitting strength, so if you want to hit harder, change your cue stick length by moving your mouse away from the white ball. You do not have to click on the white ball to start stick handling you can click anywhere on the table and start stick handler. The white ball goes to the opposite direction relative to the cue stick.
