'''LambdaRogue''' is a [[:Category:Roguelike games|roguelike]] RPG written by [[Mario Donick]].

If one had to categorize LambdaRogue to be either a "hack"-game or a "band"-game judging by dungeon generation, it would clearly fall into the "band"-category: Like in ''Angband'' and other *bands, standard dungeon levels are randomly generated every time a staircase is used and the player will never encounter the same dungeon level twice.

== Videos ==

There exist several trailer videos to give potential players an impression of the game:

* [http://lambdarogue.net/dl-showentry.php=n=92] (trailer for LambdaRogue 1.4)

* [http://lambdarogue.net/dl-showentry.php?n=28] (showing an unfinished version of 0.3.1)
* [http://lambdarogue.net/dl-showentry.php?n=13] (second trailer; outdated)
* [http://lambdarogue.net/dl-showentry.php?n=14] (first trailer; outdated)

== Story ==

Men and the species of Drekh'nar once lived peaceful together on Earth, both not far away from reaching the stars with spaceships. Sadly, a misunderstanding led to war before these dreams could be realized. However, after a long and bloody battle, a peace treaty was created. This treaty forced mankind to go underground, while the Drekh'nar could stay on the surface of Earth.

Since then, ages have passed. Both species haven’t seen each other and for many people, the Drekh'nar are just legends. Mankind has lost the most of its technological knowledge, but it has developed a civilization based on respect and belief.

However, some people are still striving for more. One of them is Ahna, priestess in one of the underground settlements. Since her youth, she was interested in the old stories, in dreams of Sky and Stars. Her whole life she has researched on a legendary book once written by Yron shortly after the war: The Book of Stars.

Most people think that this and the other Books of Yron are lost since centuries, but Ahna does not. Indeed she has found hints that may lead to the discovery of the Books of Yron - and therefore to the re-discovery of Earth and Space.

If you will help Ahna and find the Book of Stars in the depths of mankind's caves.

== Key Features ==

''Describing LambdaRogue, version 1.4''

LambdaRogue's feature set, esp. the number of different monsters and items, is rather small compared to many other games. However, all features are chosen in a "less is more" manner by the developer with clear concepts in mind.

* graphical SDL mode and text-based console mode
* optional music; sound effects
* configurable keyboard

* 3 difficulty levels
* 2 alternate ways to win (with different endings)
* 4 professions to choose from (Enchanter, Thief, Ranger, Soldier)
* 5 gods, inspired by greek mythology, to worship (Aphrodite, Apoll, Hermes, Dionysos, Ares)
* 10 skills, abilities and talents to train
* 4 character presets for an easier start for new players

* 20 dungeon levels, all randomly generated when entered
* 20+ quests
* 20+ different standard monsters, many of them with special abilities
* 7 unique monsters
* many carefully handcrafted items
* 21 different spells to learn and to train (incl. some not so easy to be obtained)

==Availability==

LambdaRogue is available for Windows and Linux.

Currently there are no offical versions for BSD or Mac, but the FreePascal source code (which is freely available) should compile very easy (without changes). If anyone wants to contribute an offical BSD- or Mac-version, contact me.
==Version history==
*Version 1.1 released on August 12th, 2008
*Version 1.2 released on October 2nd, 2008
*Version 1.3 released on November 22nd, 2008
*Version 1.4 released on December 23rd, 2008

{Featured Article}}

== Additions ==

After discovering this wiki and the Allacrost entry, I (Tyler Olsen, aka Roots) added a lot of additional information here. I tried to cite references where I could, but a lot of the information (particularly the project's history) comes from my memory, which is rather difficult to provide a link to ;). I was also thinking of providing a bulleted timeline of major events in addition to or in place of the text-heavy history section, but I was unsure if this would be appropriate. I was also considering adding a section for the game's story (since the story is a major focus for this particular game), perhaps along with artwork for a couple of protagonist characters.

--[[User:Roots|Roots]] 17:42, 1 November 2007 (CET)

:All this sounds good (though text is always better than lists, but it still can be structured in lists.. You should write the things you remember down!! best in the allacrost wiki I guess, then one can link to it (also write it down just so ppl know, a shame to loose development history information...) =) --[[User:Qubodup|Qubodup]] 23:17, 5 January 2008 (CET)

'''Trackballs''' is a marble game in three-dimensional space, inspired by “Marble Madness”. It is released under the [[GNU General Public License|GPL]], and was developed by [[Mathias Broxvall]] until a long hiatus from 2007 to 2017 after which a new maintainer picked up the project. The latest version before the hiatus is 1.1.4, released on 2007-05-25; now version 1.2.4 is available.<ref>[https://github.com/trackballs/trackballs/releases Trackballs' Github release page]</ref> It is written in the [[:Category:C++ games|C++]] and [[:Category:Scheme games|Scheme]] programming language using the [[Simple DirectMedia Layer|SDL]] library.<ref>[http://sourceforge.net/projects/trackballs Trackballs' original sourceforge.net project page]</ref> Support for OpenGL standard 3.3 is required.<ref>[https://trackballs.github.io/ Trackballs' home page]</ref>

In the game, the player controls a marble (not the field itself) over a 3D labyrinth, avoiding moving spikes,
deadly force fields, enemy balls, and marble-shattering falls, all while seeking the goal at the end of the level.

Ransom model

2018-12-27T09:12:42Z

95.70.128.47:

he '''Ransom model''', also known as '''street performer protocol''' or '''fund and release''', is a business model in which the producer holds back games from release until members of the public pledge enough money to reach the producer's specified fund raising target.

==History==
The first known instance of proposal for this business model in relation to producing [[Free software|free]] games is the essay ''Bedroom Coder's Business Model''.<ref>[http://tdaa.digitalproductions.co.uk/history/bcbm.htm Bedroom Coder's Business Model]</ref> The article also advised that the developers shouldn't try to hoard and license technology, instead it advocates that developers let their [https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.en.html#IntellectualProperty “IP”] proliferate into the public domain.

[[Sixth Floor Labs]] is the first known company to try this business model but closed door after their first game.<ref>[http://www.sixthfloorlabs.com/posts/2008/02/09/We__39__ll_be_around/ Closure announcement of Sixth Floor Labs]</ref> [[Bram Stolk]] is currently experimenting with the ransom business model with the game [[Howitzer Skirmish]].<ref>[http://howski.sourceforge.net/ The homepage of Howitzer Skirmish]</ref>

A developer offered and was hired to worked on the [[Globulation 2]] project in return for payment.<ref>[http://cofundos.org/project.php?id=49 Genixpro's offer to work on the project]</ref>

'''''Solarus''''' is an action [[:Category: Role-playing engines|role-playing game (ARPG) engine]] licensed as [[GPL]] Version 3, and written in [[:Category:C++ libraries|C++]]<ref>[http://www.solarus-games.org/engine/faq/#what_is_solarus What is Solarus?]</ref>. [[:Category: Solarus games|Solarus games]] are called "quests", and the project provides a graphical game authoring tool called Solarus Quest Editor<ref>[http://www.solarus-games.org/engine/solarus-quest-editor/ Solarus Quest Editor]</ref>.

==Solarus engine==
Solarus is a C++ engine that features a well-documented [[:Category:Lua games|Lua]] API that lets developers extensively customise their games with Lua<ref>[http://www.solarus-games.org/development/documentation/ Solarus documentation]</ref>. There are official downloads for a number of platforms, including several popular GNU+Linux and BSD distributions, on the website<ref>[http://www.solarus-games.org/engine/download/ Download Solarus]</ref>, and it can be found in the package repositories of most popular distributions.

==Solarus Quest Editor==
Solarus provides a sophisticated editor, called the Solarus Quest Editor. It is also GPL licensed and written in C++, using the Qt framework for the graphical user-interface. This lets developers edit several aspects of their game in a graphical manner. Features include file management, graphical map editing, graphical tileset and spritesheet management, and a simple text editor for code and data files<ref>[http://www.solarus-games.org/engine/solarus-quest-editor/ Solarus Quest Editor]</ref>. The developers also provide in-depth tutorials for the quest editor<ref>[http://www.solarus-games.org/development/tutorials/ Solarus tutorials]</ref>.

==Development==
Solarus was made when [[Christopho]] wanted to remake his Zelda game, Mystery of Solarus, in [[:Category: C++ games|C++]]. Since then, the project has grown. There are now five active team members working on the engine and its game authoring tool<ref>[http://www.solarus-games.org/team/ Solarus team]</ref>.
