Zlog is a 2D platform game. Basically, you jump on platforms and kill ennemies, like in many other games out there. The concept itself is not very original - that's why Zlog is aimed at providing a unique gameplay. It is for the moment pretty much like SuperMario (or Supertux), since the weapon subsystem is not yet implemented. It should heavily rely on the plot - what most platform games lack.

Additional System Requirements: The Allegro game programming library is required in its version 4.1.18. The configure script will autodetect it and grab it for you if necessary.

Zombie is a networking server and C++ API for easily creating networked games. The server is totally generic and independent of the application (game) used, and can serve many different types of games at the same time. You can even have several instances of the same game on the server without any problems.
The C++ API makes it extremely easy to connect to the server and exchange data.

Highlights:

• data can be sent as broadcast, multicast and point-to-point
• a maximum of 250 client can join the same server
• teams can be used to organize clients
• threadbased client assures asynchronous transfers
• remote management of clients/teams etc.
• easy factory for creating the data-packets

Are you afraid of the dark? Well, after this you probably wont be, zombies aren't as scary as they seem. But! They're taking over your hometown and since you're the one with the brains it's up to you to put up the fight. Throw brains at the zombies and turn them back into humans. As you progress you get help from your fellow humans in the fight against the zombies. Can you survive until midnight? Originally written in 48 hours it might not be the deepest game you've seen, but it should provide some fun on those coffee breaks.
