Experimental engine based on Cube, can be seen as "Next-Gen Cube", or "Cube 2". Much like cube, the aim of this engine is not to produce the most eyecandy possible, but rather allow map/geometry editing to be done dynamically in-game, and make map editing a lot of fun.

Choose to be a commander and you will play an in-depth RTS managing the stronghold, or choose to be a warrior and you will play an intense game of first person combat. With the creation of a new game play genre, RTSS (Real Time Strategy Shooter), Savage expertly redefines the first-person shooter and real-time strategy genres by combining elements of both into one cohesive experience. As the commander in RTS mode, you will tackle resource management, develop a robust tech tree, plan your assault and lead real human players into battle. As a warrior in action mode, you will master many unique weapons, powerful units, and siege vehicles to fight a fast paced battle.

The idea is to kill the space ships before they either kill you or all the penguins.

You control this sphere/circle/whatever with the mouse. Left click to accelerate towards the cursor. Right click to fire lasers. Middle click to pause. Esc to Quit.

The art for the penguins came from Pingus, the tileset was ripped from supertux.
If anyone would like to contribute levels/art/sound that would be cool. ;)

Additional System Requirements: libSDL, SDL_Mixer, SDL_Image supports music files via SDL_Mixer, so for mod or whatever you need the relevant library installed.

Scalar is similar to focus point puzzle of Pandora's Box game. The goal of the game is to assemble the picture from pieces. Each picture is divided into pieces which are shuffled. You need to get each piece back to its original position. You accomplish that by swapping pieces (exchanging their positions). You have a limited number of swappings for each picture. The game provides some pictures, but anyone can add images from their hard-disk/cd/whatever which makes the game playable for hours.

Scavenger is an excellent rendition of the classic Lode Runner game. Run around picking up blue blobs, while avoiding the bad guys, your only defensive move the ability to dig holes in the bricks which the bad guys get stuck in. The levels range from fun to challenging to outright devious. The sounds are perfect. It's an excellent game. There is now an SDL version available which can be compiled under win32.

This is a beautiful clone of Scorched Earth, the classic DOS artillery duel game. It's been 3Dified and has a great OpenGL polish around it.

In its simplest form Scorched is an artillery game. Tanks take turns to earn money by destroying opponents in an arena. Scorched attempts to recreate the simple yet addictive game play of the original game, adding amongst other new features a 3D island environment and LAN and internet play.
