Chess Engines for Android
Chess engines that support the UCI or XBoard protocol.
Open source chess engines that support the Universal Chess Interface (UCI) protocol or Chess Engine Communication Protocol (WinBoard and XBoard). They are written in the C, C++, Go and Rust programming language. C and C++ based chess engines were generated with Android NDK, Clang and GCC. Go and Rust based chess engines were generated with their correspondent compilers. This was done on different platforms like Linux, Termux and Windows. Every zip archive contains a readme file with further information (e. g. link to the source code). Chess engines are located in the libs directory and are available for arm64-v8.2a-dotprod, arm64-v8a, armeabi-v7a, x86 and x86_64 based devices. If a chess engine supports NNUE (Neural Network Updated Efficiently) technology and the network is not embedded in the binary, you will find the missing network file in the networks directory. Requires a chess app that has full access to the internal memory (e.g. Chess for Android 6.2.1 or DroidFish). -

grafx - Extensible Java Graphics Package
Extensible Line-drawing & Polygon-filling Rasterization Libs for Java
Line-drawing and polygon-filling rasterization algorithms in Java. Simple 2D package and more complex 3D package with Z-buffering. Texture mapping not supported at the moment. Color interpolation for lines, Gouraud shading for polygons fully supported. Floating point vertex coordinates, not integer. Pixel-level aliasing, not endpoint aliasing. Doesn't use Bresenham line style! Works with all Java versions. No external dependencies. Suitable for study in academic institutions, especially as related to line-drawing accuracy. Particular attention to detail concerning chopping of accumulation errors, using a cast from 64 bit to 32 bit strategy, in the interval [1.0,2.0). Individual pixel errors with overlapping polygons or line segments are about one in a billion, but I can't reproduce any errors at the moment by using random number generation with tens of millions of cases. Emphasis not only on correctness, but also on performance for real-world use or hardware implementation. -

Open Source Games Guide
Open source games are a type of software project where the code and content is publicly available, allowing anyone to freely access, modify, and redistribute those resources. This creates an open platform for developers to collaborate on game projects without relying on expensive licenses or restricted access. These licenses often come with credits or royalties that would have to be paid if the same technology was used in a commercial setting. Open source games are developed collaboratively, making it possible for anybody to contribute by adding their own ideas or suggesting improvements on existing features. These contributions can range from simple bug fixes to completely new gameplay mechanics or even entire levels or stories. The result is games that are built up over time by many different contributors which offer a greater diversity than what might be seen in most traditional commercial titles. Open source games today cover almost every genre imaginable: from shoot-em-ups and puzzle games to massively multiplayer role playing (MMORPG) titles and real-time strategy adventures. By giving creators total control over their work and not limiting them based on proprietary ownership rules, open source encourages innovation as well as creativity in all facets of game design from graphics coding down to narrative structures. It also has the added benefit of keeping players engaged; since code for these types of projects can always be modified, there’s no limit to how much replayability these fan-favorite titles can bring once they hit the market.
What Features Do Open Source Games Provide?
Open-source games provide a variety of features for users - these include:
- Cross-Platform Playability: Open source games support multiple operating systems, allowing players to enjoy the same game on any device and platform.
- Modular Codebase: Open source games allow developers to modify the codebase according to their needs, allowing them to create custom experiences that are tailored specifically to their preference.
- Easier Updating: Since open source games have more accessible codebases, they can be easier and quicker to update than other, more closed off titles.
Community Contributions: Through collaboration with the user community, developers have access to a larger pool of knowledge and resources, enabling them to create bigger and better experiences. - Availability of Source Code: All of the source code for an open source game is available for modification or use by anyone who wishes to do so, offering unparalleled levels of flexibility when it comes to expanding or altering an existing title.
- Support from Developers and Players: Open source software is typically supported by both developers and players alike - this ensures that help is always available if needed.
Types of Open Source Games
- Arcade-Style: These are classic video games that have been popular in the past and involve simple controls, fast response times, and timed action. Examples include Space Invaders and Pac-Man.
- Adventure Games: Adventure games involve exploring an unknown area, solving puzzles, and making decisions that affect the course of the game. Popular adventure game franchises include The Legend of Zelda and King's Quest.
- Role-Playing Games (RPGs): RPGs involve taking on the role of a character or group of characters in a fantasy world or in a story-driven environment. Players typically choose from a variety of combat styles, utilize inventory management skills, upgrade their character’s abilities as they progress through levels, and interact with other players in order to survive conflicts with monsters or other players.
- Simulation Games: Simulation games model real-world processes such as business management, engineering design practices, government politics, social dynamics (such as marriage and divorce), and even war strategies. Popular simulation titles include SimCity and Rollercoaster Tycoon.
- Sports Games: Video game versions of traditional sports activities such as football (soccer), baseball & basketball are popular options among open source fans too. Notable examples include Track & Field II/Hyper Athlete by Konami as well as Fifa Football 2004 by EA Sports.
- First Person Shooters (FPS): FPS games focus on armed combat involving individual players who fight against computer generated opponents or another live player from across the internet or local network connection. Notable examples here include Quake III Arena for PC systems or Halo for console gaming platforms like Xbox 360 & PlayStation 3 (PS3).
What Are the Advantages Provided by Open Source Games?
- Low Cost: One of the main benefits of open source game development is that it's much more cost effective than traditional game production. Because users are able to access and modify the code, they can tailor the game to their own needs and preferences without having to purchase expensive licenses or pay for custom programming. This makes open source gaming a great option for both indie developers and large companies looking to cut costs.
- Increased Flexibility: Open source software allows developers to create games with much more flexibility than traditionally coded ones. Developers can use existing open source libraries as a foundation, then customize them to their unique design requirements. This makes it easier for developers to rapidly prototype projects that would otherwise be difficult or impossible in a closed system environment.
- Accessibility: The open-source community provides access to millions of pieces of code written by experts all over the world, allowing anyone with basic coding knowledge the ability to change the game in any way they choose. Furthermore, because there are no licensing restrictions on access or modification, people from all over the world have free access and can utilize this code in any project or task they undertake.
- Collaboration & Community Support: An active online community supports many open-source projects, meaning that not only do developers have access to resources from other people but also can collaborate on large scale projects quickly. Moreover, since anyone can contribute towards an improved version of the software it results in increased creativity which helps build better products faster.
- Speed & Innovation: Open-source software often features superior speed and performance due to its modular architecture which enables quick modifications without affecting other parts of code unnecessarily. Additionally, since everyone has full access (under certain conditions) they are able to innovate faster by constantly pushing boundaries with new ideas while reusing existing proven processes within minutes instead of hours or even days if done traditionally.
What Types of Users Use Open Source Games?
- Casual players: Those who simply enjoy playing open source games for fun. They may have no prior programming knowledge and are just looking to have a good time.
- Power users: Those who are very knowledgeable about the game and its mechanics, usually spending a lot of time perfecting their skills and understanding of the rules.
- Developers: These are individuals who actively work on developing new features or modifying existing ones in order to improve the game experience for everyone. They may also create new levels or characters, or even entirely new game types.
- Mappers/Modders: Players who specialize in designing custom game maps and creating modifications of existing games in order to make them unique. This type of user is highly creative, often bringing entire worlds alive within the landscape they craft.
- Artists/Designers: These users focus on adding artistic elements to their open source games such as sprites, textures, backgrounds, animation sequences and other graphics that bring visual variety to gameplay experience.
- Professional players: For some more popular open source games there can be actual professional gamers that specialize in playing these titles in tournaments and events for money prizes. They not only need expert strategy but also lightning fast reflexes combined with mechanical understanding of the ins & outs of various moves within the given title.
How Much Do Open Source Games Cost?
Open source games are usually free to use, as they’re developed as a collaborative effort and released under an open source license. This means that you don’t have to pay any money upfront for the game or worry about licensing fees. Instead, you can simply modify, share, and even distribute the game in accordance with the open source license. That said, building a quality video game from scratch is no small feat—so if you choose to use an open source gaming engine or other development resources, then you might have to pay money for them depending on their respective licenses. Additionally, if you're looking for graphic assets or sounds to include in your game, then there may be associated costs there as well. All told, creating a full-fledged video game using only freely available open source components can be quite inexpensive; however depending on the size of your project and its scope of features it might end up costing more than expected.
What Software Can Integrate With Open Source Games?
Many types of software can integrate with open source games. For example, game development engines such as Unity and Unreal Engine are popular tools used to create open source games. Additionally, various audio and video editing software can be used to customize in-game sounds, music, and visuals. Content management systems like Joomla and WordPress can also help manage the online communities surrounding open source games. Finally, analytics programs such as Google Analytics provide insights on how players interact with the game. This information can help developers create a better user experience for their game.

How To Get Started With Open Source Games
Getting started with open source games isn't complicated but there are a few steps users can take to ensure they get the most out of the experience.
- First, users should decide which type of game they would like to play. Open source games range from first-person shooters to complex role-playing experiences and everything in between, so there is something for everyone. Once the user knows what game they want to play, it is time to start looking for an appropriate version. Popular open source projects will have multiple versions available, including options for different operating systems, so users should look around and make sure that they have found the version that works best with their system before downloading.
- After this step, it is time to download and install the game. This usually involves accessing an official website where users can access the files they need while reading instructions on how to correctly install them on their device. Depending on both their device and operating system requirements, some installations may need additional plug-ins or programs - such as Java or Adobe Flash Player - in order for them to work correctly. It’s important for players who encounter these kinds of problems not be afraid to do a bit of research online; curious gamers can often find solutions quickly by searching through forums related to their particular problem or reaching out directly via social media channels dedicated specifically towards solving open source issues.
- Once gamers have made it past installation hurdles are ready done installing the game, they can begin playing. As many open source games accommodate customisation (and depending on what type of user you are) one might want explore all settings available within each project; tweaking graphics settings or experimenting with certain mutators/variables within a given universe could enhance one's overall experience profoundly no matter which genre you prefer. And once players are comfortable with navigating a certain world — either through story lines or devised scenarios — then co–op multiplayer sessions may also be possible in order keep things fresh.
- All things considered, anyone jumping into this kind of scene doesn’t have much disadvantage beyond becoming accustomed to new mechanics as opposed others coming from more commercial titles; open source games come preloaded with ample documentation and easily accessible communities happy help any newcomers out at anytime…which makes now as good ever give them try.
