Atlas aims to produce and display high quality charts of the world for users of
FlightGear, an open source flight simulator. This is achieved through two main
parts: The map creator (simply called Map) and the Atlas viewer.
The map creator takes scenery data from FlightGear and transforms it into
beautiful map pictures that can be viewed with any bitmap image program that
you might have installed or with the Atlas viewing application.
The Atlas viewing application can be used for browsing your maps but can also
connect directly to FlightGear and display your aircrafts current location on a
so called moving map display.

Dodger, which has now accumulated enough differences to be worth releasing
on its own. The premise is simple: dodge the rocks until you die. No
shields, no weapons, no bonus lives, just pure rockdodgin' fun for your
spare moments. VoR has ray-traced rocks, a free-scrolling screen, and
"real" physics for your ship. Warning: this game is, if anything, harder
than the original. It is intended to be a quickie game to kill a few spare
moments here and there, not an epic space adventure.

Shotgun Debugger is a 2D, top-down action game. It is The Future, and your
habit of computer network exploration has finally done you in. You are
captured and taken to a strange underground complex populated by robot
soldiers. Your task is to escape the facility--but the hordes of walking
death machines aren't just gonna let you.
Shotgun Debugger is pseudo-3D -- while gameplay is strictly two-dimensional,
the world is rendered in three dimensions. Worlds are not tile-based, but
polygon-based -- rooms and hallways can be made to any shape imaginable,
allowing for some rather impressive architecture.

Ensemblist is a unique reflexion game created for the video game coding
compo held in March 2003 in Paris.
In this game, you have to put together several simple geometric
primitives to build a given shape. For this, you can move, rotate and
compose the primitives with the boolean operators union, intersection
and minus. This is building what is called a C.S.G, for Constructive
Solid Geometry.

Games::Dice simulates die rolls. It uses a function-oriented (not
object-oriented) interface. No functions are exported by default.
The number and type of dice to roll is given in a style which should be
familiar to players of popular role-playing games: adb[+-*/b]c. a is optional
and defaults to 1; it gives the number of dice to roll. b indicates the number
of sides to each die. % can be used instead of 100 for b; hence, rolling 2d%
and 2d100 is equivalent. roll simulates a rolls of b-sided dice and adds
together the results. The optional end, consisting of one of +-*/b and a
number c, can modify the sum of the individual dice. +-*/ are similar in that
they take the sum of the rolls and add or subtract c, or multiply or divide
the sum by c. (x can also be used instead of *.) Using b in this slot is a
little different: it's short for "best" and indicates "roll a number of dice,
but add together only the best few". For example, 5d6b3 rolls five six- sided
dice and adds together the three best rolls.
