3d Puzzle

by workmad3

Enlarge
A simple puzzle game based off of a small wooden puzzle I received for christmas.

The objective is to get the pieces apart, and then put them back together again (if you so desire). You can also play around with the pieces once they are apart and do weird things with them.

Requirements: SDL, OpenGL, A computer

Controls: arrow keys and mouse. Click a piece with the left mouse button to select it. The piece is then moved with the arrow keys. Holding down the right mouse button allows you to rotate around the Y axis to see the puzzle from other angles.

Only tested on windows so far. It may compile on linux as it uses SDL in as pure a way as I can manage it.

Line Thief

by Sirisian

Enlarge
Using W,A,S,D keys or the arrow keys, navigate the thief (the gray dot) through the maze to the end. But watch out! Lasers are everywhere, and your thief can only turnoff a certain number of each colored laser. Click on the red, green, or blue squares in the upper right (or push 1,2, or 3) to select which kind of laser to disarm. Don't worry, your thief is smart and won't trip the lasers.

GOOD LUCK!

Tringo

by Machaira

Enlarge
Tringo is described as a cross between Tetris and Bingo. The object is to create solid areas of 2x2, 2x3, and 3x3 squares by placing shapes that are selected every 10 seconds onto a grid. When that happens the shape is cleared from the board and the player earns points. The GPWiki version is single-player only with a goal of beating your high score and/or time, which is saved after each game. A future version may be multiplayer on the PC and Xbox 360.

This game requires the .NET 2.0 Framework which may be downloaded from Microsoft's website here - http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/netframework/aa731542.aspx

I hope you enjoy this game as much as I enjoyed creating it!
