Summary
Games-gl
Juegos en 3D de Debian Jr. (se necesita aceleración por hardware)

Todos estos juegos usan las bibliotecas de OpenGL. No funcionarán sin una tarjeta gráfica 3D decente que proporcione aceleración por hardware usando OpenGL.

Mientras que armagetron y gltron son distintas interpretaciones del juego representado en la película clásica de animación en 3D «Tron», Tux Racer es un juego de carreras en 3D totalmente original y hecho para Linux. A diferencia de los habituales juegos en 3D de «sangre y tripas», todos estos juegos son adecuados para niños.

The list to the right includes various software projects which are of some interest to the Debian Junior Project. Currently, only a few of them are available as Debian packages. It is our goal, however, to include all software in Debian Junior which can sensibly add to a high quality Debian Pure Blend.

For a better overview of the project's availability as a Debian package, each head row has a color code according to this scheme:

If you discover a project which looks like a good candidate for Debian Junior to you, or if you have prepared an unofficial Debian package, please do not hesitate to send a description of that project to the Debian Junior mailing list

The rules are simple: you ride a light cycle (a kind of motorbike that can only turn 90 degrees at a time, leaves a wall behind and cannot be stopped) and have to avoid running into walls while at the same time you have to try to get your opponent to run into them.

The idea is based on the Disney movie from 1982 called "Tron". If you ever wanted to take a try at one of those speed demons features in the movie, this is your chance.

Armagetron Advanced can be played against AI opponents, against other humans over the network, or a mixture of both.

BZFlag es juego de batallas de tanques multijugador y multiplataforma en 3D que permite a los usuarios jugar contra los demás en red. Hay cinco equipos: rojo, verde, azul, morado y pícaro (los tanques pícaros son negros). La destrucción de un jugador de otro equipo puntúa como una victoria, mientras que que le destruyan o destruir a otro de su mismo equipo puntúa como un derrota. Los pícaros no tienen compañeros de equipo (ni siquiera los demás pícaros), así que ellos no pueden disparar a los de su mismo equipo y no tienen puntuación de equipo.

Principalmente hay dos formas de juego: capturar la bandera y libertad para todo. En capturar la bandera cada equipo (excepto los pícaros) tienen una base del equipo y cada equipo con al menos un jugador tiene una bandera del equipo. El objetivo es capturar una bandera enemiga y llevarla a la base propia. Esto destruye a cada enemigo del equipo capturado, restando uno a la puntuación del equipo capturado y sumando uno a la de su equipo. En libertad para todo, no hay banderas o bases. El objetivo, sencillamente, es tener la mayor puntuación posible.

Este metapaquete instala el cliente y el servidor.

Extreme Tux Racer, or etracer as it is called for short, is a simple OpenGL racing game featuring Tux, the Linux mascot. The goal of the game is to slide down a snow- and ice-covered mountain as quickly as possible, avoiding the trees and rocks that will slow you down.

Collect herrings and other goodies while sliding down the hill, but avoid fish bones.

This game is based on the GPL version of the famous game TuxRacer.

You must have working 3D acceleration or this game will run quite slowly.

The package is enhanced by the following packages: extremetuxracer-extras

In the grand tradition of Marble Madness and Super Monkey Ball, Neverball has you guide a rolling ball through dangerous territory. Balance on narrow bridges, navigate mazes, ride moving platforms, and dodge pushers and shovers to get to the goal. Race against the clock to collect coins to earn extra balls.

SuperTuxKart is a free 3D kart racing game, with a focus on having fun over realism. You can play with up to 4 friends on one PC, racing against each other or just trying to beat the computer; single-player mode is also available.

See the great lighthouse or drive through the sand and visit the pyramids. Race underground or in space, watching the stars pass by. Or rest under the palm trees on the beach, watching the other karts overtake you. But don't eat the bananas! Watch for bowling balls, plungers, bubble gum and cakes thrown by your opponents.

You can do a single race against other karts, compete in one of several Grand Prix, try to beat the high score in time trials on your own, play battle mode against your friends, and more!

Trackballs is a simple game similar to the classical game Marble Madness on the Amiga in the 80's. By steering a marble ball through a labyrinth filled with vicious hammers, pools of acid and other obstacles the player collects points. When the ball reaches the destination it continues at the next, more difficult level - unless the time runs out.

This game is not intended to be a replica of Marble Madness but rather inspired by it. The game is also highly configurable by using a scripting extension (Guile) and it provides a simple editor by which new levels can easily be created.

Install the trackballs-music package for a soundtrack to be played during gameplay. For more information and screenshots of the game please see http://trackballs.sourceforge.net.

The package is enhanced by the following packages: trackballs-data

It's bringing old style gameplay from DOS times back to the desktop with up to date graphics! Its gameplay is similar to old classics such as Amco's Kick Off and Sensible Software's Sensible Soccer.

The gameplay is designed to be quick, responsive and fun. You are always in control of the player closest to the ball. The ball is controlled via two different kick buttons - one for pass, and one for shoot. Aftertouch can be applied to shots by quickly pressing and holding the direction you want the ball to bend towards. Pushing in the opposite direction to what you kicked the ball makes it raise into the air, pushing in the same direction as the ball makes it dip towards the ground.

Debian package not available

Platinum Arts Sandbox is an open source easy to use standalone 3D Game Maker and 3D Game Design program currently being used in many schools throughout the world that allows kids and adults to create their own video games, worlds, levels, adventures and quests, even cooperatively! The goal is to make it accessible to kids but also powerful enough for full game projects. With a simple click and roll of a mouse wheel users can modify the world however they want. In the words of Margaret, a nine year old Sandbox whiz I babysit for, “Press Edit and go fulfill your dreams!”. Now features new game modes such as sidescroller, machinima, kartmode, RPG, and more!

Platinum Arts Sandbox Main Features:

  • Kid Friendly, Free and Open Source.
  • Editing is done in game, including cooperatively over the Internet or LAN.
  • Easy enough for kids to use but powerful enough for full game projects.
  • Several different modes, including cart, sidescroller, movie (machinima) and RPG
  • Several custom maps that feature saving a princess, mazes, houses, quests, etc
  • The pursuit of making it as easy as possible to add map features and content.
