List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sun, 03 Jul 2011 22:31:50 -0000 The game is called Neopendulous, taken from the orphaned Pendulous that originally ran on Windows machines. The author, Vincenzo Buttazzo, has released the source code for it on GitHub: https://github.com/caribe/Neopendolous
under GPL3. It's written in C and uses the Allegro Gaming Library http://www.allegro.cc/ so it should compile without problems on Linux, Windows and others.

Some further development is needed on the AI algorithms needed for skilled play by the computer as an opponent. The original Pendulous had a fairly strong computer player routine.

I would like help in getting it packaged for delivery with other games for various distros.

My interest stems from a standard game I used to code to learn new languages, that I called WHAM (Winning the Hearts and Minds). It was a competitive diffusion game, like Pendulous (although not as cool-looking), in which one played to gain control of territory with moves that could spread influence to neighboring points (or squares or hexagons) on the board. The general idea is to simulate the ways ideas, diseases, innovations, or other such diffusion processes spread. It was inspired by my insight into the Viet Nam war and the way there were two competing diffusion processes: nationalism vs. constitutional government. Nationalism won because it had a higher coefficient of diffusion. Had the Pentagon strategists had such an insight-producing tool we might have been able to avoid a useless war that cost more than a million lives. Having a general game like this, with other kinds of scenarios than just warfare simulations, could be helpful to many other people in trying to decide how best to spread innovations of all kinds, from some new product to some new political reform, or some candidate for public office. Imagine being able to play on a board consisting of an actual map of some market or electoral jurisdiction to decide where and how to best devote the campaign resources to maximize the spread of support for whatever one is selling, or perhaps to prevent the spread of some contagious disease, by playing disease-control efforts, such as quarantines or vaccinations, to points on a map.

So my aim is to eventually enable the player to set up a board with real maps, and rules of play that resemble all kinds of competitive diffusion processes.

This is not just about having fun. There is a serious social purpose involved.

Additionally, there's no such thing as official GNOME applications any more. Just ask for a git account and Bugzilla hosting and you're ready to start developing a GNOME application. After you've got the project established, feel free to ask the marketing-team to include your app in their GNOME marketing efforts.

My problem is that I want to see this cool concept realized but am too busy trying to pay the bills to do it myself. I am looking for help, someone who will buy in to my vision and go with it, including doing things like asking the marketing team, which I don't know how to contact.

I envision a highly configurable competitive diffusion game CMS, a core system that can be customized with themes, modules, libraries, and whatever, to look like anything anyone wants, including like many of the strategy games that have been hard-coded with a particular theme and strategic mechanism. That needs a community, and I am looking to put one together with this posting.

The version on Centos 4.4 (sorry, don't know what > version that was) worked very well. Or do I have to mod the sources? Not sure what you mean by 'animated'? If you mean real animations with the cards flying to their target stacks, then that means you're using aisleriot with clutter enabled, which is not a supported option and which distributions should not use in their aisleriot packages.
